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 II™ 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
TM
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
Fixture does not
respond to DMX
control.
Noise from fixture unit.
Low LED output.

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.
