AC Power
This product uses a transformer-based power supply with a fixed input voltage of
either 120 V, 60 Hz or 230 V, 50 Hz.
To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to
the back plate of the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart. A fixture’s
listed current rating indicates its average current draw under normal conditions.
Always connect this product to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse),
making sure that it has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.
Never connect this product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit,
even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.
Resetting the Breaker
This product is equipped with a resettable circuit breaker on the power input circuit.
In the event that the breaker trips, the power will be cut to the entire product. Please
see the instructions below for resetting this breaker.
1. Remove the power cord from mains power.
2. Allow unit to cool for 15 minutes.
3. After 15 minutes, you may attempt to reset the breaker by pressing the
button with your index finger.
4. Plug the fixture power cord into the power outlet and continue recommended
use.
In the event that the breaker will not reset (the breaker button will not remain
inserted), contact CHAUVET® immediately, as this indicates a possible internal
malfunction.

Mounting
Orientation
The Arena™ Hazer 3 is a haze machine and it uses fluid. Keep this in mind when
selecting the orientation, as the fluid will leak out of the fluid reservoir if the unit is not
horizontal.
Rigging
When hanging this product overhead, always use all three of the fly points. The
cables and structure to which you are hanging the product from must be capable of
supporting at least 10 times the weight of the Arena™ Hazer 3. Please see the
“Technical Specifications” section of this manual for weight information.
Always consider ease of access to the unit for maintenance and programming
purposes before deciding on a location for this product.
Overhead rigging is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by
certified/experienced riggers. The installer/user is responsible for ensuring that
the Arena™ Hazer 3 is rigged safely, following current national, state, and local
regulations.
CHAUVET® recommends that the unit be inspected every 90 days. If any
damage is detected, remedial action should be taken immediately!
