AC Power  
To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate of  
the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart. A fixture’s listed current rating is its average  
current draw under normal conditions. All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and  
cannot be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer  
channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch. Before applying power to a  
fixture, check that the source voltage matches the fixture’s requirement.  
Check the fixture or device carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection  
switch exists that it is set to the correct line voltage you will use.  
Figure 1 - AC Voltage Switch  
Warning!  
Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit matches the  
line voltage applied. Damage to your fixture may result if the  
line voltage applied does not match the voltage indicated on  
the voltage selector switch. All fixtures must be connected to  
circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.  
Not all fixtures have a voltage  
select switch. Please be sure to  
connect to the proper voltage.

4. APPENDIX  
General Maintenance  
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage  
and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should  
be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause  
overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off  
fixture before conducting maintenance.  
Unplug fixture from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust  
collected on external vents and internal components. Clean all glass when the fixture is cold with a  
mild solution of glass cleaner or Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft lint free cotton cloth or lens tissue. Apply  
solution to the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside of the lens. Gently polish optical  
surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.  
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to  
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates:  
damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s  
optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. - Always dry the parts carefully. - Clean  
the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.  
Returns Procedure  
Returned merchandise must be sent prepaid and in the original packing, call tags will not be issued.

Products returned without an RMA # will be refused. Call CHAUVET and request RMA # prior to  
shipping the fixture. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial number and a brief description  
of the cause for the return. Be sure to properly pack fixture, any shipping damage resulting from  
inadequate packaging is the customer’s responsibility. CHAUVET reserves the right to use its own  
discretion to repair or replace product(s). As a suggestion, proper UPS packing or double-boxing is  
always a safe method to use.  
Note:  
If you are given an RMA #, please include the following information on a piece of  
paper inside the box:  
1) Your name  
2) Your address  
3) Your phone number  
4) The RMA #  
5) A brief description of the symptoms  
Claims  
Damage incurred in shipping is the responsibility of the shipper; therefore the damage must be  
reported to the carrier upon receipt of merchandise. It is the customer's responsibility to notify and  
submit claims with the shipper in the event that a fixture is damaged due to shipping. Any other claim  
for items such as missing component/part, damage not related to shipping, and concealed damage,  
must be made within seven (7) days of receiving merchandise.
