User Manual
2. After cleaning away built-up debris, use a soft cloth (a wet cotton rag, chamois, or
cheese cloth is recommended) and water or mild glass cleaner to wipe away dirt
and debris from the outer dome surface.
Caution: Do not use paper towels or other abrasive materials to clean the
dome; doing so can leave scratches which may impair image
quality.
3.
Optional
. As a final cleaning, dampen a soft cloth with denatured rubbing alcohol
to thoroughly clean the dome’s surface.
Checking Intake/Exhaust
You must leave at least 24 inches (61 cm) clearance around both the intake and exhaust
vents, located on opposite sides of the Ecodome base. Because wind and weather
conditions can cause debris to build up around the vents, you should regularly inspect for
any of the following:
•
Grass clippings or leaves:
Use your hands or a vacuum to clear away leaves
and clippings.
•
Water, snow, or soil:
Accumulations of water or soil within 24 inches (61 cm) of
Ecodome’s intake or exhaust could prevent the fixture from operating properly, or
pose a major hazard to the fixture.
If any of the above regularly accumulate around Ecodome, contact High End Systems
customer service (see “Contacting High End Systems” on page ii).
Replacing Air Filters
Caution: Electrically isolate Ecodome before following these instructions.
Check Ecodome’s intake and exhaust air filters
whenever you service the fixture installed in
Ecodome (for example, when you change
lamps). Ecodome’s air filters must be replaced
when they are visibly clogged with dirt.
To replace the air filter:
1. Use the tamper-proof screwdriver
(shipped with Ecodome) to remove the
base clamp.
2. Carefully lift the housing and dome
from the base (and fixture).
3. Locate the air filters (see Figure 3-1).
4. Loosen the three air filter cover
thumbscrews surrounding the air filter
and remove the air filter cover.
