PREVENTING ELECTRIC SHOCK
• This machine uses mains electrical power at 100-240VAC. When directly contacted, such voltages are
hazardous to human life. Follow all local electrical codes and take precautions when using this product.
• This product is designed to operate from three-wire power systems, where one of the wires is a safety
ground. DO NOT disconnect the safety ground, or use extension cords or adapter plugs to connect this
machine to a two-wire system. Operation without a safety ground may result in hazardous electrical shock.
• Use only extension cords that are of appropriate length and are rated for X-Effects LED’s specified voltage
and current. If an extension cord shows signs of wear or gets warm to the touch, discontinue its use and
obtain a cord with a higher current rating. Improper extension cords are hazardous and may result in poor
performance due to excessive voltage drop.
• Disconnect unit from power source before servicing and when not in use.

ASSEMBLY
1.) Insert Effects Glass Gobos
Prior to operating the X-Effects LED Projector, it is recommended that the unit’s Effects Glass Gobos (96mm)
be inserted into the fixture’s Motor Rotation Module.
The Motor Rotation Module can be accessed by loosening the (4) recessed quick-turn screws on the front of
the unit. (Image A)
Carefully remove the front Lens Tube Module and set aside. Check to ensure Effects Glass Gobos are free of
dust, fingerprints and other residue prior to inserting into the projector.
Insert the Effects Glass Gobos into the rotation carriers, ensuring that the flat portions of the effects wheel
flanges are facing each other. Improper orientation of the effects wheels can cause damage to the unit or
may not produce the desired illumination effect. (Image C, D)
