Systems cannot make specific mounting recommendations. Consider

the following procedure as a suggested guideline only.

Fog Machine Warning

Like all high quality video projection units, the DL.3 fixture must be kept protected from
excessive amounts of glycol fog, mineral oil, and smoke. DL.3 incorporates a two-stage air
filtering system with additional washable prefilters in the head and base housing to reduce
these risks to a minimum. However, you must follow these guidelines to ensure continued
operation of the fixture:
• Air filters (both fixture and projector) should be checked and cleaned on a regular basis.
When used in a closed or fixed environment where fog or haze is used, we recommend at
least a weekly check.
• Do not situate DL.3 in areas of high fog density such as directly in front of a fog machine or
mineral oil hazer.
• Minimize th e exposure of DL.3 to both glycol fog and mineral oil.
DL.3 is a highly complex and sensitive electro-optical device and care and thought in how it is
used, rigged, and positioned will maximize the product’s life and your investment.

Note: Failure to follow these guidelines and carry out regular maintenance

will void the warranty.
