Maintenance - Elation PROTEUS HYBRID User Manual

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 at least every 20 days with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation.
NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.

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 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 always tightened. Lose 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 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 light to run for approximately 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 allowing 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.
