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).

COOLING

After usage, the lamp may be switched o󰤰, but the 󰤱xture should remain connected to power

in order to allow the fan time to cool down the 󰤱xture.

UNPACKING

Every device has been thoroughly tested and has been shipped in perfect operating condition.

Carefully check the shipping carton for damage that may have occurred during shipping. If

the carton is damaged, carefully inspect the device for damage, and be sure all accessories

necessary to install and operate the device have arrived intact. In the event damage has been

found or parts are missing, please contact our customer support team for further instructions.

Please do not return this device to your dealer without 󰤱rst contacting customer support.

Please do not discard the shipping carton in the trash. Please recycle whenever possible.

WARRANTY RETURNS (USA ONLY)

To obtain warranty service, a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number must 󰤱rst be ob-

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.

Products returned for warranty service must be sent without any accessories (i.e., power, data,

and safety cables, brackets, clamps, rigging hardware, frost 󰤱lters, gel frames, barn doors,

lens, hoses, nozzles, rack mounting hardware, etc.), must be boxed using the original and/or

suitable packaging materials (double-box and foam) that provides ample product protection

for ground and/or air freight transit, and must be shipped freight pre-paid and insured to ELA-

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

(including parts replacement) are within the terms of this warranty, ELATION will pay return

ground transportation shipping charges to a single designated point within the United States.

FROM THE SURFACE 5 FEET (1.5 METER)

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 65.6 feet (20m). 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

THAT MAY CONCENTRATE THE LIGHT/RADIATION OUTPUT.

INDIVIDUALS SUFFERING FROM A RANGE OF EYE CONDITIONS, SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE DISORDERS,

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.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

DISCHARGE LAMP WARNING

This 󰤱xture is 󰤱tted with a DISCHARGE LAMP, which is highly susceptible

to damage if improperly handled. NEVER touch the lamp with your bare

hands, as the oil from your hands will shorten the life of the lamp.

Also, NEVER move the 󰤱xture until the lamp has had ample time to cool.

Lamps are NOT covered under warranty conditions. Avoid switching the

󰤱xture ON and OFF repeatedly in short intervals, as this will reduce lamp

life and intensity. To achieve the intensity associated with discharge

lamps, these lamps use gas sealed in a high-pressure environment to

emit a brilliant output.

Due to the high pressure involved with the construction of the lamp, the lamp MAY

EXPLODE DURING PROLONGED EXTENSIVE USE. This risk is increased with age; added care

is encouraged when dealing with older lamps. Thus, the lamp must always be replaced at

the end of their recommended duty cycle. Extreme caution should be used when operating

this or any 󰤱xture 󰤱tted with a gas discharge lamp.

UV RADIATION NOTICE

This 󰤱xture emits intense UV radiation, which is harmful to the eyes and skin.

The intense luminance of the lamp can cause severe damage to the retina.

NEVER operate this 󰤱xture with ANY of the protective covers removed. These

covers have been specially designed to shield against UV radiation.

LAMP REPLACEMENT

Please note that the lamp must be replaced between 1500-6000 hours based on

usage as indicated on display. Use only genuine Philips™ Platinum Flex Lamps.

Other lamp brands may cause damage and void the warranty.
