I P 67 R AT E D

The

International Protection (IP) rating system is commonly expressed as “IP” (Ingress Protection) followed

by two numbers (i.e. IP67), where the numbers define the degree of protection. The first digit (Foreign Bodies

Protection) indicates the extent of protection against particles entering the fixture, and the second digit (Water

Protection) indicates the extent of protection against water entering the fixture. An

IP67 rated lighting fixture is

designed and tested to protect against the ingress of dust

(6), and full immersion to a depth of 3.2 ft (1m) (7).

NOTE: THIS FIXTURE IS INTENDED FOR TEMPORARY OUTDOOR USE ONLY!
Maritime/Coastal Environment Installations: A coastal environment is seaside adjacent, and caustic to

electronics through exposure to atomized salt-water and humidity, whereas maritime is anywhere within 5-miles

of a coastal environment. A waterproof dome or similar device is recommended for use in permanent outdoor

installations.

NOT suitable for maritime/coastal environment installations. Installing this fixture in a maritime/

coastal environment may cause corrosion and/or excessive wear to the interior and/or exterior

components of the fixture. Damages and/or performance issues resulting from installation in a

maritime/coastal environment will void the manufacturer’s warranty, and will NOT be subject

to any warranty claims and/or repairs.

Maritime installations require additional preparation, and additional service intervals may be needed given the

maritime use. In general, IP ratings presuppose freshwater conditions VS maritime conditions, which are typically

more “caustic” to IP fixtures (both internally and externally). A duty-cycle may also be needed when units are not

in use. During times of high humidity and colder temperatures, condensation may occur internally so the fixture

may require a duty-cycle to bring it up to running temperature, allowing any accumulation of moisture to be

expelled via the vent valve. Recommendations can change based on installation environmental circumstances.

A waterproof dome or similar device is recommended for use in permanent outdoor installations. When using a

dome, refer to manufacturer recommendations for duty-cycle.
Exterior Maintenance: Inspect the exterior every 30-days. The chassis should be inspected for any signs of

contaminants. Inspect optics to determine if the lens is obstructed, then clean optics and chassis accordingly.

Based on initial finding, schedule maintenance accordingly, keeping in mind that exterior maintenance will be

required. Even if the luminaires are NOT in use, maintenance will still be needed given its location (exterior use).

The use of a durable type of wax on the chassis is recommended since it will help prevent contaminant build up.

Inspect both power and data lines for any signs of contaminants or corrosion. Periodically reapplying di-electric

grease, especially in coastal environments. If any signs of corrosion/contaminants are present, clean thoroughly,

and/or replace connectors, then reapply di-electric grease. Typically, this should be done annually, or any time an

opportunity presents itself. As a preventive measure, annual replacement of both vent valves is recommended.

The vent valve membrane can become contaminated and/or clogged causing improper venting of humidity

within the luminaire. Inspect all mounting hardware as a precaution.
Interior Maintenance: An internal inspection of the head is recommended within the first 1,000-1,500 hours of

use. The unit must be powered off/disconnected.

• Inspect zoom/focus mechanism, clean optics, lubricate linear bearings (Krytox oil) as needed, inspect belts

for wear

• Inspect all rotating effect wheels, manually rotate them, note any resistance

• Inspect all remaining rotating belts for any wear

• Inspect all fans, clean as needed, check rotation, check connections

• Inspect CMY module, manually move flags and check for signs of resistance, and if needed, clean guide rods

first, then reapply a thin layer of grease (moly lube)

• Clean interior with low-volume compressed air, then clean optics prior to reassembly of head covers
Although the base has limited moving parts, the pan belt should also be inspected for wear. Remember to always

perform an IP test anytime a cover is removed.
There is no specific time frame regarding the routine replacement of parts such as belts/stepper motors, PCBs,

or LEDs. These items should only be replaced on an as needed bases, except for cooling fans, which should be

replaced once the luminaries reach 10,000-hours. This is a prophylactic measure intended to keep the unit

running as cool as possible, insuring proper function of all internal components. A complete service breakdown is
