DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE!
CLEANING
Frequent cleaning is recommended to insure proper function, optimized light output, and an extended
life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp,
smoky, or particularly dirty environments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture's optics.
Clean the external lens surface regularly with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation.
NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Listed below are a few common problems the user may encounter, with solutions.
Unit not responding to DMX:
1. Check that the DMX cables are connected properly and are wired correctly (pin 3 is "hot"; on
some other DMX devices pin 2 may be 'hot'). Also, check that all cables are connected to the right
connectors; it does matter which way the inputs and outputs are connected.
MAINTENANCE
Regular inspections are recommended to insure proper function and extended life. There are no user
serviceable parts inside this fixture. Please refer all other service issues to an authorized Elation service
technician. Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local Elation dealer.
Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:
• A detailed electrical check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make sure the
circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent overheating.
• Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Loose screws may fall out
during normal operation, resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.
• Check for any deformations on the housing, color lenses, rigging hardware, and rigging points
(ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for dust to enter into the
fixture. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the fixture to fall and seriously
injure a person(s).
• Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue, or sediments.
NEVER remove the ground prong from the power cable.
