GENERAL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION
This fixture has been designed to perform reliably for years when the guidelines in this booklet are followed. Please read and understand the instructions in this manual carefully and thoroughly before attempting to operate this unit. These instructions contain important information regarding safety during use and maintenance.
IP65 RATED
An IP rated lighting fixture is one, which is commonly installed in outdoor environments and has been designed with an enclosure that effectively protects the ingress (entry) of external foreign objects such as dust and water. The International Protection (IP) rating system is commonly expressed as “IP” (Ingress Protection) followed by two numbers (i.e. IP65) where the numbers define the degree of protection. The first digit (Foreign Bodies Protection) indicates the extent of protection against particles entering the fixture and the second digit (Water Protection) indicates the extent of protection against water entering the fixture.
An IP65 rated lighting fixture is one, which has been designed and tested to protect against the ingress of dust (6) and low-pressure water jets from any direction (5).

 ENSURE ALL CONNECTIONS AND END CAPS ARE PROPERLY SEALED WITH A DIELECTRIC GREASE (AVAILABLE AT MOST ELECTRICAL SUPPLIERS) TO PREVENT WATER CORROSION AND/OR AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT. 

UNPACKING

SAFETY GUIDELINES
DO NOT TOUCH the fixture housing during operation. Turn OFF the power and allow approximately 60 minutes for the fixture to cool down before serving.
DO NOT shake fixture, avoid brute force when installing and/or operating fixture.
DO NOT operate the fixture if the power cord has become frayed, crimped, damaged and/or if any of the power cord connectors are damaged and do not insert into the fixture securely with ease.
NEVER force a power cord connector into the fixture. If the power cord or any of its connectors are damaged, replace it immediately with a new one of a similar power rating.
DO NOT block any air ventilation slots, these must remain clean and never blocked.
Allow approx. 6” (15cm) between the fixture and other devices or a wall for proper cooling.
When installing fixtures in a suspended environment, always use mounting hardware that is no less than M10 x 25 mm, and always attach an appropriately rated safety cable.
ALWAYS disconnect fixtures from the main power source before performing any type of service and/or cleaning procedure. Only handle the power cord by the plug end, never pull out the plug by tugging the wire portion of the cord.
During the initial operation of this fixture, light smoke or smell may emit from the interior of the fixture.
This is a normal process and is caused by excess paint in the interior of the casing burning off from the heat associated with the lamp and will decrease gradually over time.
Consistent operational breaks will ensure fixtures will function properly for many years.
ONLY use the original packaging and materials to transport the fixture in for service.

OVERVIEW

SAFETY CABLE RIGGING POINTS
INSTALLATION
FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
WARNING
Keep fixture at least 5.0 ft (1.5m) away from any flammable materials, decorations, pyrotechnics, etc.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
A qualified electrician should be used for all electrical connections and/or installations.

ENSURE ALL CONNECTIONS AND END CAPS ARE PROPERLY SEALED WITH A DIELECTRIC GREASE (AVAILABLE AT MOST ELECTRICAL  SUPPLIERS) TO PREVENT WATER CORROSION AND/OR AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT.

DO NOT INSTALL THE FIXTURE IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO!
Fixture MUST be installed following all local, national, and country commercial electrical and construction codes and regulations. Before rigging/mounting the fixture to any metal truss/structure or placing the fixture on any surface, a professional equipment installer MUST be consulted to determine if the metal truss/structure or surface is properly certified to safely hold the combined weight of the fixture, clamps, cables, and accessories. Overhead fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an appropriately rated safety cable that meets all local, national, and country codes and regulations. The fixture ambient operating temperature range is 5° to 113°F. (-15° to 45°C) Do not use this fixture outside this temperature range. The fixture should be installed in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or away from areas were unauthorized personnel might reach the fixture by hand. NEVER stand directly below the fixture when rigging, removing, or servicing. Allow approximately 15 minutes for the fixture to cool down before serving.
CLAMP INSTALLATION
The fixture provides an integrated adjustable yoke with rotating floor stands. When mounting this fixture to truss, (2) Omega Brackets (optional not included) are required. Be sure to secure appropriately rated clamps to the Omega Brackets. Be sure to attach an appropriate Safety Cable to the fixture using the safety cable rigging points integrated in the fixture.
RIGGING
Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including amongst others calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury. The fixture is fully operational in the specific mounting positions illustrated below.

SAFETY CABLE
ALWAYS USE A SAFETY CABLE WHENEVER
INSTALLING THIS FIXTURE IN A
SUSPENDED ENVIRONMENT TO ENSURE THE FIXTURE WILL NOT DROP IF THE CLAMPS FAIL.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION 
Disconnect power before cleaning or maintenance.

CLEANING
Frequent cleaning is recommended to ensure proper function, optimized light output, and extended life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty environments can cause a 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 ensure 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 securely tightened at all times. Loose 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 into 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.
