Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new CHAUVET lighting effect. We are confident you will
enjoy many trouble free hours with this unit. To assist with the care and use of the product we
have prepared this short guide.
Operation
This lighting effect has been designed to function on a mains power supply of either 120V~60Hz
or 230V~50Hz and has been fitted with a suitable power plug for use with your local voltage.
Check the label on the unit and the power plug for the correct voltage.
When connected to the mains power supply the unit should begin to flash. As the effect is
controlled by the rotary speed control it may be necessary to adjust to suit your mood. 1/4" mono
plug allows for linking of strobes for operation via strobe controller. CHAUVET offers the
CH-751 and SC-1000M Strobe Controllers.
The duty cycle for this effect should be no more than 15 minutes on then 15 minutes off.
Installation / Mounting
This unit has been designed to be hung. It is recommended that, for safety purposes, your
lighting effect be properly mounted using a suitable hanging clamp and safety cable. CHAUVET
offers a range of items, which are ideal for safe mounting.
Replacing Lamps
1. Disconnect from main power supply before attempting to replace either lamps or fuse.
2. Ensure that the unit is sufficiently cool, before removing blown lamps.
3. Never touch new lamps with your fingers; use a tissue or a cloth.
In order to replace the lamp, disconnect from main power supply first, and unscrew the plastic
lens on the front of the unit (fig.1). Only use the appropriately rated lamp as use of any other lamp
type may cause the unit to be non-operational.
Due to the nature of xenon lamps it is vitally important that you do not touch the new replacement
lamp with your fingers, as this will reduce lamp life considerably. Once again a tissue or cloth can
be used for fitting the replacement lamp.
Finally before using, check that the lamp is housed correctly in the lamp holder and that the
plastic lens has been screwed back into place.

Replacing Fuses
If the unit does not function at all when connected to the main power supply i.e. does not
illuminate after replacing the lamp. Then it is highly likely that the fuse has blown.
Disconnect from main power supply before attempting to replace either lamp or fuse.
In order to replace the fuse, disconnect from the main power supply and then unscrew the
fuseholder cover to reveal the fuse. The unit has a label attached which indicates the correct
fuse rating or you may refer to portion of this guide labeled Technical Specifications. It is most
important that replacement fuses are of correct rating. Failure to use the correct fuse could
damage the unit beyond economic repair.
The fuse should simply be placed inside the holder and the screw cap replaced. Reconnect to
main power.
Cleaning
The most important part of your lighting effect to keep clean is the lens as this allows the light
output to transmit. This should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. The body of the unit may also
be cleaned in the same way. We recommend internal cleaning be carried out by a fully qualified
technician.
Maintenance & Servicing
Work on internal parts should be carried out by a qualified technician. Removal of any covers
other than the lens cover is considered a breach of warranty and will not be covered under any
such agreement unless authorized first by the company.
Troubleshooting
• If the unit is not functional – check main power supply is 'on' and check fuse.
• If the unit is functional but lamp does not light - lamp may require replacing.
If after trying this solution you still have a problem contact your dealer or CHAUVET.
Caution
No user serviceable parts, please refer to CHAUVET for service.
Power Connections
The unit is supplied with a power plug appropriate to its voltage and destination. Should any other
connections be required they must be carried out with the following configuration.
Earth = Green/Yellow cable
Neutral = Blue cable
Live = Brown cable
In the USA & Europe, it is required that all plugs are 3-pin type i.e. with Earth/Ground connection.
In the UK, it is required that all mains plugs are fitted with 5A fuses.
