Thermal Performance

TM
The Color Force II 12, 48 & 72 fixtures feature internal fans that control the internal cooling.
If the internal temperature of the Color Force exceeds 75ºC the output of the fixture will be reduced for automatic protection.
This happens on rare and extreme conditions when ambient temperature is over 35ºC or the internal fans are blocked or damaged.
The airflow to and from the fan must not be constricted to maintain the maximum light output of the Color Force II

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting is a process of elimination. First, rule out the other field factors (i.e. bad connections, faulty cables and power
supplies). For technical support and/or parts, please contact your selling dealer or the offices listed in this manual.
Symptom

Maintenance

With care, the Color Force II will require little maintenance. However, as the unit is likely to be used in a stage environment we
recommend periodical internal inspection and cleaning of any resulting dust and/or cracked oil residue.
Do not spray liquids on the front or rear panel. If the front enclosure requires cleaning, wipe with a mild detergent on a damp cloth.
