SOLARIS® BASIC 18™

Disconnect the fixture from mains power and allow to cool completely before cleaning or servicing. Service
fixtures in an area where there is no risk of injury from failing parts, tools or other materials. Excessive dust,
smoke fluid, and particle buildup degrades performance, causes overheating and will damage the fixture.
Damage caused by inadequate cleaning or maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.
CLEANING
The cleaning of lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning schedules for light
-
ing fixtures vary greatly depending on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible to specify pre
-
cise cleaning intervals for the fixture. Environmental factors that may result in a need for frequent cleaning
include:
• Use of smoke or fog machines.
• High airflow rates (near air conditioning vents, for example).
• Presence of cigarette smoke.
• Airborne dust (from stage effects, building structures and fittings or the natural environment at outdoor
events, for example).
If one or more of these factors is present, inspect fixtures within their first 100 hours of operation to see
whether cleaning is necessary. Check again at frequent intervals. This procedure will allow you to assess
cleaning requirements in your particular situation.
Use gentle pressure only when cleaning, and work in a clean, well-lit area. Do not use any product that con
-
tains solvents or abrasives, as these can cause surface damage.
CLEANING THE FIXTURE
1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.
2. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles from the outside of the fixture and air with low-pres
-
sure compressed air
3. Clean lenses by wiping gently with a soft, clean lint-free cloth moistened with a weak detergent solution.
Do not rub the surface hard: lift particles off with a soft repeated press. Dry with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth
or low pressure compressed
air. Remove stuck particles with an unscented tissue or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner or distilled
water.
4. Check that the fixture is dry before reapplying power.
