Introduction
Congratulationson the purchase of your new CHAUVET lighting effect. We are confident
youwill enjoy many trouble free hours with this unit. To assist with the care and use of the
productwe have prepared this short guide.
Operation
Beforeconnecting this unit to the mains power supply for the first time you must first install
thelamps. (See ‘Replacing Lamps’ for details).
Thislighting effect has been designed to function on a mains power supply of either
120V~60Hzor 230V~50Hz and has been fitted with a suitable power plug for use with
yourlocal voltage. Check the label and voltage selector switch (if fitted) on the unit and the
powerplug for the correct voltage.
Whenconnected to the mains power supply the unit should illuminate and the fan should
rotate.As the effect is sound activated it may be necessary to adjust the audio sensitivity
control.
Dueto the high operating temperature of halogen lamps it is advisable that the effect be
usedin well ventilated areas taking care not to obstruct the air vents or the fan. After use
allowtime to ‘cool’ for safety and to ensure lamp life before moving or touching.
Theduty cycle for this effect should be no more than 15 minutes on then 15 minutes off.
Installation / Mounting
Thisunit has been designed to be hung. It is recommended that,for safety purposes, your
lightingeffect be properly mounted using a suitable hanging clamp and safety cable.
CHAUVEToffers a range of items, which are ideal for safe mounting.
Usein a well-ventilated area without obstruction to the fan.
Replacing Lamps
1. Disconnectfrom main power supply before attempting to replace either lamps or fuse.
2. Ensurethat the unit is sufficiently cool, before removing blown lamps.
3. Nevertouch new lamps with your fingers; use a tissue or a cloth.
Inorder to replace the lamps, disconnect from main power supply first, and unscrew the 3
screwfixings to remove the lamp replacement cover (the head of the unit), which is
highlightedon the diagram (fig.1). Only use the appropriately rated lamps as use of any
otherlamp type may cause the unit to be non-operational.
Dueto the nature of halogen lamps it is vitally important that you do not touch the new
replacementlamp with your fingers, as this will reduce lamp life considerably. Once again
atissue or cloth can be used for fitting the replacementl amp.
Finallybefore using, check that the lamps are housed correctly in the lamp holders and
thatthe lamp replacement cover has been screwed back into place. The lamps may prove
alittle difficult to install as they have been designed to be tightly fitted due to the
movementof the motor.
Ifafter replacement of the lamps, the unit is still not working then please CHAUVET for
servicing.
Replacing Fuses
Ifthe unit does not function at all when connected to the main power supply i.e. the fan
doesnot rotate or the mechanism does not spin. Then it is highly likely that the fuse has
blown.
Disconnectfrom main power supply before attempting to replace either lamps or fuse.
Inorder to replace the fuse, disconnect from the main power supply first, and then
unscrewthe fuseholder cover to reveal the fuse. The unit has a label attached which
indicatesthe correct fuse rating and you will also find this listed as part of the
specificationsfor the unit later in this guide. It is most important that replacement fuses are
ofthe correct rating. Failure to use the correct fuse could damage the lighting effect
beyondeconomic repair.
Thefuse should simply be placed inside the holder and the screw cap replaced, when this
isdone connect to the main power supply to check. If the unitis still not working then
pleasecontact CHAUVET for servicing.
Cleaning
Themost important part of your lighting effect to keep clean are the lenses as they allow
thelight output to transmit. These should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. The body of
theunit may also be cleaned in the same way. We recommend internal cleaning be
carriedout by a fully qualified technician.
Maintenance & Servicing
Workon internal parts should be carried out by a qualified technician. Removal of any
coversother than the lamp replacement access or the fuseholder is considered a breach
ofwarranty and will not be covered under any such agreement unless authorized first by
CHAUVET.
