General Precautions
The Firelight Blaze fixture is intended for use in high ambient lighting conditions in indoor special effect
applications. The fixture may be used in applications where the appearance, illusion, or impression of fire or
flames is required. Themed attractions, museums, or restaurants can use the fixture to deliver the effect
without the hazards associated with actual fire.
CAUTION
The fixture is intended only for indoor use in dry locations. The unit is not intended for outdoor
use, or for indoor use in close proximity to an actual body of water. The fixture is not rated for,
nor protected against water splash, droplets, or mist. For outdoor or wet environment
applications, contact PPS for specifications on the optional IP65 rated enclosure.
Electrical Precautions
The Firelight Blaze projector is provided with a Class II AC power supply with a total cord length of 4 feet
minimum. The AC power supply or power cord may be connected to any standard domestic electrical outle t,
or to foreign outlets with appropriate adapters. The power supply output connector is a 2.1mm, center
positive DC power plug which mates with the input socket at the rear of the Firelight fixture. To connect the
Firelight to the power supply, install the coaxial plug into the socket at the rear of the unit. Once the DC
connector is attached, the power supply or cord may be connected to the AC power source.
WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT THE FIRELIGHT FIXTURE DIRECTLY TO ANY AC POWER SOURCE
Application of AC voltage to the fixture will cause serious damage to the fixture, which is not
covered by the fixture warranty, and may cause increased risk of electrical shock or fire,
potentially resulting in serious injury or death.
The Firelight FL-B models are usually shipped with a “Universal Voltage” AC power supply
which can operate the fixture from 100 to 240 volt AC line voltage at either 50 or 60 Hertz. Do
not attempt to operate the unit or power supply from unknown or incorrect AC voltages. Do not
operate universal voltage power supplies from a dimmed AC lighting circuit.
DC Power Connections
For applications where DC power is available, the AC power supply may be omitted, and the fixture operated
directly by DC power. The recommended DC power supply must have a voltage of from 9 to 24 volts, and a
power rating of at least 30 watts. The current required will depend upon the voltage supplied. The DC
power input socket on the fixture is a standard 2.1 mm female coaxial DC socket, where the 2.1 mm center
pin is the positive connection, and the outer sleeve is negative. The output connector of the DC power supply
should be equipped with a male coaxial DC power plug, wired with correct polarity to mate with the input
socket at the rear of the Firelight fixture.
WARNING
The FL-B Blaze fixture is designed to operate on 9 to 24 volt DC power. The current required
will vary inversely with the voltage supplied, with a maximum of 30 watts per fixture. Application
of AC voltage, incorrectly polarized DC voltage, or DC voltages outside of the normal range to the
fixture may cause serious damage to the power supply and to the fixture, and may cause increased
risk of electrical shock or fire, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. Do not attempt to
operate the fixture with incorrect or unknown DC supply voltages.
