GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Please read and understand the instructions in this manual carefully and thoroughly before
attempting to operate this device. These instructions contain important safety and use
information.
IP65 RATED
An IP rated lighting xture is one, which is commonly installed in outdoor environments and has
been designed with an enclosure that eectively protects the ingress (entry) of external
foreign objects such as dust and water. The International Protection (IP) rating system is
commonly expressed as "IP" (Ingress Protection) followed by two numbers (i.e. IP65) where the
numbers dene the degree of protection. The rst digit (Foreign Bodies Protection) indicates
the extent of protection against particles entering the xture and the second digit (Water
Protection) indicates the extent of protection against water entering the xture. An IP65
rated lighting xture is one, which has been designed and tested to protect against the ingress
of dust (6) and low-pressure water jets from any direction (5).
UNPACKING

WARRANTY RETURNS (USA ONLY)
To obtain warranty service, a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number must rst be obtained
from ELATION. It is the Customer’s responsibility to provide product proof of purchase and serial
number by acceptable evidence such as an invoice copy or an approved ELATION Extended
Warranty Certicate (“EWC”) and any relevant maintenance records at the time warranty service
is sought. Failure to provide acceptable evidence of product proof of purchase or EWC and any
relevant maintenance records may be cause for denial of warranty service.
Products returned for warranty service must be sent without any accessories (i.e., power, data,

Angeles, CA or an ELATION Authorized Service Center. The RMA number must be clearly written
on the outside of the return box, and a brief description of the problem and the RMA number must
be documented and included in the box.
Products returned for warranty service without an RMA number clearly marked on the outside of
the package will be refused and returned to the shipper at the Customer’s expense. Products
returned for warranty service, which are received damaged due to inadequate and/or improper
packaging and/or due to damage caused by shipping carrier, may incur additional repair charges
before warranty service begins and/or may void this warranty. If any product accessories
(included and/or optional) are shipped with the product, ELATION and/or the ELATION Authorized
Service Center shall have no liability what so ever for the loss and/or damage to any such
accessories, nor the safe return thereof. If the requested warranty repairs or service (including

SAFETY GUIDELINES
RISK GROUP 3 - RISK OF EXPOSURE TO ULTRAVIOLET UV
RADIATION! FIXTURE EMITS HIGH INTENSITY WAVELENGTH OF
ULTRAVIOLET UV LIGHT FROM THE UV COLOR FILTER. WEAR
PROPER EYE AND SKIN PROTECTION. AVOID PROLONGED PERIODS
OF EXPOSURE TO UV COLOR FILTER. AVOID WEARING WHITE
COLOR CLOTHING AND/OR USING UV PAINTS ON SKIN. AVOID
DIRECT EYE AND/OR SKIN EXPOSURE AT DISTANCES LESS THAN 11
feet (3.3m). DO NOT OPERATE FIXTURE WITH DAMAGED/MISSING
EXTERNAL COVERS. DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE UV LIGHT
AND/OR VIEW UV LIGHT DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS

INDIVIDUALS SUFFERING FROM A RANGE OF EYE CONDITIONS, SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE DIS-ORDERS,
OR INDIVIDUALS USING PHOTOSENSITIVE MEDICATION, MAY RECEIVE DISCOMFORT IF EXPOSED TO
THE ULTRAVIOLET UV LIGHT EMITTED FROM THE UV LED.
DO NOT TOUCH the xture housing during operation. Turn OFF the power and allow approximately
15 minutes for the xture to cool down before serving.
DO NOT shake xture, avoid brute force when installing and/or operating xture.
DO NOT operate xture if the power cord is frayed, crimped, damaged and/or if any of the power
cord connectors are damaged and do not insert into the xture securely with ease. NEVER force a
power cord connector into the xture. If the power cord or any of its connectors are damaged,
replace it immediately with a new one of similar power rating.
DO NOT block any air ventilation slots.
All fan and air inlets must remain clean and never blocked.
Allow approx. 6” (15cm) between xture and other devices or a wall for proper cooling.
Always disconnect xture from main power source before performing any type of service and/or
cleaning procedure. Only handle the power cord by the plug end, never pull out the plug by tugging
the wire portion of the cord.
During the initial operation of this xture, a light smoke or smell may emit from the interior of the
xture. This is a normal process and is caused by excess paint in the interior of the casing burning
o from the heat associated with the lamp and will decrease gradually over time.
Consistent operational breaks will ensure xture will function properly for many years.
ONLY use the original packaging and materials to transport the xture in for service.

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE!
CLEANING
Frequent cleaning is recommended to insure proper function, optimized light output, and
an extended life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the
xture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty environments can cause greater
accumulation of dirt on the xture’s optics. Clean the external lens surface at least every
20 days with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation.
NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.
MAINTENANCE
Regular inspections are recommended to insure proper function and extended life.
There are no user serviceable parts inside this xture, please refer all other service issues
to an authorized Elation service technician. Should you need any spare parts, please order
genuine parts from an authorized Elation dealer.
Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:
A detailed electric check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make
sure the circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent overheating.
Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Lose screws may fall out
during normal operation resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.
Check for any deformations on the housing, color lenses, rigging hardware and rigging
points (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for dust to
enter into the xture. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the xture
to fall and seriously injure a person(s).
Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or sediments.
NEVER remove the ground prong from the power cable.
