3.SETUP
AC Power
The JAM™ Pack Ruby products have an external auto-ranging power supply that can
work with an input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
To determine the product’s power requirements (
circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring),
use the current value listed on the label affixed to the power supply
’s back panel, or refer
to the product’s specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the product’s
average current draw under normal conditions.
Always connect the product to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse).
Never connect the product
to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if
the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.
Mounting
Before mounting the product
, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the
Safety Notes.
Orientation
The Products in the JAM™ Pack Ruby
may be mounted in any position; however, make
sure adequate ventilation is provided around the product.
Rigging
•Before deciding on a location for the product, always make sure there is easy access
to the product for maintenance and programming purposes.
•Make sure that the structure onto which you are mounting the product can support the
product’s weight. See the Technical Specifications for weight information.
•When mounting the product overhead, always use a safety cable. Mount the product
securely to a rigging point, whether an elevated platform or a truss.
•When rigging the product onto a truss, use a mounting clamp
of appropriate weight
capacity.
•The bracket adjustment
knobs allow for directional adjustment when aiming the
product to the desired angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs manually.
Using tools could damage the knobs.

5.MAINTENANCE
Product
Maintenance
Dust build-
up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead
to reduction of the light source’s life and/or
mechanical wear. To maintain optimum
performance and minimize wear, clean your lighting product
s at least twice a month.
However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors
to increase the cleaning frequency.
To clean the product, follow the instructions below:
1. Unplug the product from power.
2. Wait until the product is at room temperature.
3.
Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on
the external surface/vents.
4. Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass
cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol.
5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
6. Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.
7. Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
