Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your new CHAUVET lighting effect. We are confident you will enjoy many trouble free hours with this unit. To assist with the care and use of the product we have prepared this short guide.

Operation

Before connecting this unit to the mains power supply for the first time you must first install the lamps. (See ‘Replacing Lamps’ for details) and the simulated flame cloth.

This lighting effect has been designed to function on a mains power supply of either 120V~60Hz or 230V~50Hz and has been fitted with a suitable power plug for use with your local voltage. Check the label and voltage selector switch (if fitted) on the unit and the power plug for the correct voltage.

When connected to the mains power supply the unit should illuminate. The fan will also start to blow.

Due to the high operating temperature of halogen lamps it is advisable that the effect be used in well ventilated areas taking care not to obstruct the air vents. After use allow time to ‘cool’ for safety and to ensure lamp life before moving or touching.

The simulated flame cloth has two magnets attached. The magnets should be affixed to the two metal plates above the air grill.

Installation / Mounting

This unit is designed to be used either standing on three legs or hanging. The three legs attach easily to the bottom of the unit by means of two screws each. The screws will be found separately in a plastic bag.

Alternatively, you can hang the unit by means of the included chain. The chain affixes to the unit by means of tree clips. Be careful to properly secure the chain when hanging the unit.

Use in a well-ventilated area without obstruction to air vents.

Replacing Lamps

1.Disconnect from main power supply before attempting to replace either lamps or fuse.

2.Ensure that the unit is sufficiently cool, before removing blown lamps.

3.Never touch new lamps with your fingers; use a tissue or a cloth.

In order to replace the lamps, disconnect from main power supply first, and unscrew the three screws on the side of the unit, which are highlighted on the diagram (fig.1). Only use the appropriately rated lamps as use of any other lamp type may cause the unit to be non-operational.

Due to the nature of halogen lamps it is vitally important that you do not touch the new replacement lamp with your fingers, as this will reduce lamp life considerably. Once again a tissue or cloth can be used for fitting the replacement lamp.

Finally before using, check that the lamps are housed correctly in the lamp holder and that the top has been screwed back into place.

If after replacement of the lamp, the unit is still not working then please contact your dealer or CHAUVET for servicing.

Replacing Fuses

If the unit does not function at all when connected to the main power supply i.e. the fan does not blow, then it is highly likely that the fuse has blown.

Disconnect from main power supply before attempting to replace either lamps or fuse.

In order to replace the fuse, disconnect from the main power supply first, and then unscrew the fuseholder cover to reveal the fuse. The unit has a label attached which indicates the correct fuse rating and you will also find this listed as part of the specifications for the unit later in this guide. It is most important that replacement fuses are of the correct rating. Failure to use the correct fuse could damage the lighting effect beyond economic repair.

The fuse should simply be placed inside the holder and the screw cap replaced, when this is done connect to the main power supply to check. If the unit is still not working then please contact your dealer or CHAUVET for servicing.

Cleaning

The body of the unit should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. We recommend internal cleaning be carried out by a fully qualified technician.

Maintenance & Servicing

Work on internal parts should be carried out by a qualified technician. Removal of covers other than to replace the lamps or the fuseholder is considered a breach of warranty and will not be covered under any such agreement unless authorized first by the company.
