2.8 Thermal Performance

The Color Force 72 and Color Force 48 fixtures feature 2 internal fans that drive the internal
cooling system.
If the internal temperature of the Color Force exceeds 75ºC the output of the fixture is 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 operating
capacity of the Color Force.

3. 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.
