, the fog machine may still
function, but it will not operate for maximum rated time, as it will begin below
the maximum temperature.
Strobe Control
The Obey™ 70 has a dedicated strobe button that will work with compatible
CHAUVET® products. This button works with the dedicated ¼”
connector that is
located on the back panel of the controller.

7. Technical Information
Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, fixtures should be cleaned
frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency.
As a general rule, fixtures should be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build-
up
reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to
reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off fixture before
conducting maintenance.
•Unplug fixture from power.
•Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust collected on
external vents.
•Clean all lenses when the fixture is cold with a mild solution of glass cleaner or
Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft lint free cotton cloth or lens tissue.
•Apply solution to the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside of the
lens.
•Gently polish optical surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the parts carefully after cleaning them.
Never spin a fan using compressed air.
