DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE!
CLEANING
Frequent cleaning is recommended to ensure 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. Periodically clean the external lens surface with a soft cloth to
avoid dirt/debris accumulation. NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.
MAINTENANCE
Regular inspections are recommended to ensure proper function and extended life. There are
no user serviceable parts inside this fixture. Please refer all other service issues to an autho-
rized 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 electric 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.
FIXTURE DISASSEMBLY
The following points should be observed after performing any maintenance procedure that
requires disassembly of the unit:
• After the unit has been reassembled, open the valve and allow the unit to run for approxi-
mately 2 hours in order to dry out any moisture that has been trapped inside the fixture.
The process should continue until indicated humidity drops below 15% for the head and
30% for the base.
• Once this has been achieved, the light can be switched off, but the unit should remain
connected to power so that the cooling fan can cool down the unit. Please note that al-
lowing cool down time should ALWAYS be done after lamp operation.
• Some units may require partial disassembly in order to gain access to the valve. Please
contact Elation service for information regarding the location and access procedure for
the valve on your specific unit model.
