5. Technical Information

Maintenance	Followspot 1200 frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in
	To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, the user should clean the
	determining the cleaning frequency. As a rule, the user should clean the fixture at least
	twice a month. Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause
	overheating. This can lead to reduced light source life and increased mechanical wear.
	The cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates.
	Damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt
	on the unit’s optics. Even in the cleanest type of surroundings, the user should clean
	the external optics at least once every 30 days. CHAUVET® recommends cleaning the
	fixture’s external optics with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.

To clean the Followspot 1200, follow the below recommendations:

•Unplug the fixture from power.

•Wait until the fixture is cold (15 minutes minimum).

•Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external vents and reachable internal components.

•Clean all optics and glass surfaces with a mild solution of glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol, and a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.

•Apply the solution directly to the cloth or tissue and drag any dirt and grime to the outside of the lens.

•Gently polish the glass surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.

•When cleaning movable mirrors, to avoid scratching or damaging their surface, minimize the contact with the mirror surface to a minimum.

Always dry the optics and glass surfaces carefully after cleaning them.

If the fixture has fans, never spin them using compressed air.
