3. Setup  
AC Power  
Warning!  
Verify that the power requirement label on your unit matches the line voltage  
applied. All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.  
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.  
All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.

This power relay-pack can be mounted on a truss using a clamp in any position or against a flat  
surface using the screw holes  
Rigging  
Hanging Clamp  
The relay pack includes (3) clamp mounting holes for convenience  
of placement. You only need to use one to adhere to a truss or light  
stand. You must supply your own clamp and make sure the clamp is  
capable of supporting the weight of the relay pack. You can order C-  
clamps from any CHAUVET dealer or distributor.  
1.  
Block access below the work area and use  
suitable and stable platform when installing or  
servicing the relay pack.  
2.

4.  
Affix clamp to relay-pack using any of the (3)  
clamp holes provided.  
Surface  
mounting  
Verify the structure can hold 10 times the weight  
of all to-be installed fixtures.  
Always use a safety cable or chain as a  
secondary source of attachment. The safety  
cable must hold 10 times the weight of the  
accessory. If safety cable attachment point is  
provided that is permanently affixed to the  
surface or body of the fixture, use that instead of  
looping through a hanging yoke/arm.

5. Appendix  
Returns Procedure  
Returned merchandise must be sent prepaid and in the original packing, call tags will not be issued.  
Package must be clearly labeled with a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RA #). Products  
returned without an RA # will be refused. Call CHAUVET and request RA # 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.  
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.  
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. Do not to touch the lamp glass when cleaning fixture. Oil  
and dirt can cause damage and premature aging of the lamp. In the event that the lamp is touched or  
becomes dirty, clean the lamps with an alcohol wipe.  
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.
