Replacing Lamps
1. Disconnect from main power supply before attempting to replace either lamps or fuse.
2. Ensure that the unit is sufficiently cool, before removing blown lamps.
3. Never touch new lamps with your fingers; use a tissue or a cloth.
In order to replace the lamp, disconnect from main power supply first, and remove the top cover of the
fixture. Only use the appropriately rated lamps as use of any other lamp type may cause the unit to be
non-operational.
Due to the nature of halogen lamps it is vitally important that you do not touch the new replacement lamp
with your fingers, as this will reduce lamp life considerably. Once again a tissue or cloth can be used for
fitting the replacement lamp.
Finally before using, check that the lamp is housed correctly in the lamp holder and that the lamp
replacement cover has been screwed back into place.
If after replacement of the lamp, the unit is still not working then please contact CHAUVET
for servicing.
Replacing Fuses
If the unit does not function at all when connected to the main power supply i.e. the mechanism does not
spin. Then it is highly likely that the fuse has blown.
Disconnect from main power supply before attempting to replace either lamps or 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 con-
nect to the main power supply to check. If the unit is still not working then please contact
CHAUVET for servicing.
Cleaning
The most important part of your lighting effect to keep clean is the lens as it allows the light output to transmit.
This should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. The body of the unit may also be cleaned in the same way.
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 the
front to replace lamp or effect dish, or the fuseholder is considered a breach of warranty and will not be
covered under any such agreement unless authorized first by Chauvet.
Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new CHAUVET lighting effect. We are confident you will enjoy
many trouble free hours with this unit. To assist with the care and use of the product we have prepared this
short guide.
Operation
Before connecting this unit to the mains power supply for the first time you must first install the lamps.
(See ʻReplacing Lampsʼ for details).
This lighting effect has been designed to function on a mains power supply of either 120V~60Hz or
230V~50Hz and has been fitted with a suitable power plug for use with your local voltage. Check the label
and voltage selector switch (if fitted) on the unit and the power plug for the correct voltage.
When connected to the mains power supply the unit should illuminate. The mirrors should also begin to
rotate is the sound sensitivity knob is turned up.
FREE controller
To utilize the shake controller, simply plug the controller into the ” jack on the fixture. Turn the knob on the
controller to adjust the rotation of the fixture to the desired amount of shaking.
Due to the high operating temperature of halogen lamps it is advisable that the effect be used in well ven-
tilated areas taking care not to obstruct the air vents. After use allow time to ʻcoolʼ for safety and to ensure
lamp life before moving or touching.
At the rear of the unit are two knobs that allow the user to adjust the sound sensitivity of the four dichroic
prism mirrors as well as the shaking motion.
The duty cycle for this effect should be no more than 15 minutes on then 15 minutes off.
Installation / Mounting
Although this unit can be used in an upright position, it is recommended that, for safety purposes, your
lighting effect be properly mounted using a suitable hanging clamp and safety cable. CHAUVET offers a
range of items, which are ideal for safe mounting.
Use in a well-ventilated area without obstruction to air vents.
