GENERAL INFORMATION
FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY
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. For professional use only
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

tained 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 Ex-
tended Warranty Certi󰤱cate (“EWC”) and any relevant maintenance records at the time war-
ranty 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.

TION in Los 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. Prod-
ucts returned for warranty service, which are received damaged due to inadequate and/or im-
proper 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 acces-
sories (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

SAFETY GUIDELINES
• 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.

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.
• 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 the plug

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
FLAMMABLE MATERIAL WARNING
Keep 󰤱xture minimum 5.0 feet (1.5m) away from 󰤲ammable materials and/or pyrotechnics.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
A quali󰤱ed electrician should be used for all electrical connections and/or installations.
MINIMUM DISTANCE TO OBJECTS/SURFACES
MUST BE 3.2 FOOT (1.0 METERS)
MINIMUM DISTANCE OF INFLAMMABLE MATERIALS
FROM THE SURFACE 3.2 FEET (1.0 METER)
MAXIMUM AMBIENT TEMPERATURE 194° F (90°C)
DO NOT INSTALL THE FIXTURE IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO!
Fixture MUST be installed following all local, national, and country commercial electrical and
construction codes and regulations.
Before rigging/mounting the 󰤱xture to any metal truss/structure or placing the 󰤱xture on any
surface, a professional equipment installer MUST be consulted to determine if the metal truss/
structure or surface is properly certi󰤱ed to safely hold the combined weight of the 󰤱xture,
clamps, cables, and accessories.
Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including, amongst others, calculating working
load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation
material and the 󰤱xture. If you lack these quali󰤱cations, do not attempt the installation
yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.
Fixture ambient operating temperature range is 4° to 113°F. (-20° to 45°C)
Do not use the 󰤱xture under or above this temperature.
Fixture should be installed in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or away from areas
were unauthorized personnel might reach the 󰤱xture by hand.
NEVER stand directly below the 󰤱xture when rigging, removing or servicing.
Overhead 󰤱xture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment,
such as an appropriately rated safety cable.
Allow approximately 10 minutes for the 󰤱xture to cool down before servicing.
