Fixture Cleaning:
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and exter-
nal optical lenses and mirror should be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environ-
ment in which the fixture operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust,
dew). In heavy club use we recommend cleaning on a monthly basis.
Periodic cleaning will ensure longevity, and crisp output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the out-
side casing.
2. Use a brush to wipe down the cooling vents and fan grill.
3. Clean the external optics and mirror with glass cleaner and a soft
cloth every 20 days.
4. Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every
30-60 days.
5. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit
back in.

with solutions.

the bottom panel of the unit.

Orbitron™
This fixture is fitted with halogen lamps which
are highly susceptible to damage if improp-
erly handled. Never touch the lamps with your
bare fingers as the oil from your hands will
shorten lamp life. Also, never move the fixture
until the lamps have had ample time to cool.
Remember, lamps are not covered under war-
ranty conditions.
