Installation / Mounting

This unit has been designed to be hung on a truss in various ways. You may utilize the integral bracket or a suitable clamp. It is recommended that, for safety purposes, products be properly mounted using a suitable safety cable. CHAUVET offers a range of items, which are ideal for safe mounting.

Replacing Fuses

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

Disconnect from main power supply before attempting to replace the 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 CHAUVET.

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 Chauvet.
