Maintenance - Elation PROTEUS HYBRID WMG User Manual

MAINTENANCE

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 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 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.
