Flourescent Blacklight Bulb
Housing
Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new CHAUVET lighting effect. We are confident you
will enjoy many trouble free hours with this unit. To assist with the care and use of the product
we have prepared this short guide.
Operation
This lighting effect has been designed to function on a mains power supply of either 120V~60Hz
or 230V~50Hz and has been fitted with a suitable power plug for use with this voltage. Check
the label on the unit and the power plug for the correct voltage.
Before beginning operation refer to section on Installing/Replacing Bulbs. Connect to the mains
power supply and switch on. The unit should illuminate casting an ultra - violet glow.
Installing/Replacing Bulbs
1. Disconnect from main power supply before attempting to install/replace lamp.
2. Ensure that the unit is sufficiently cool, before removing blown lamps.
In order to install the lamp, disconnect from main power supply first. Gently twist flourescent
bulb counterclockwise to remove (fig. 1). Replace bulb. Only use the appropriately rated bulb
as use of any other lamp may cause the unit to be non-operational.
Finally, before using, check that the bulb is housed correctly.
Cleaning
The most important part of your lighting effect to keep clean is the bulb as this allows the light
output to transmit. This should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. The body of the unit may also
be cleaned in the same way. We recommend internal cleaning be carried out by a fully qualified
technician.
Troubleshooting
•
If the unit is not functional - check main power supply is ‘on’.
•
If the bulb does illuminate - shipping may cause bulb to loosen. Tighten bulb.
• If the unit is functional but lamp does not light - lamp may require replacing.
If after trying this solution you still have a problem contact your dealer or CHAUVET.
Maintenance & Servicing
Work on internal parts should be carried out by a qualified technician. Removal of any covers is
considered a breach of warranty and will not be covered under any such agreement unless
authorized first by the company.
No user serviceable parts, please refer to CHAUVET for service.
Power Connections
The unit is supplied with a power plug appropriate to its voltage and destination. Should any
other connections be required they must be carried out with the following configuration.
Earth = Green/Yellow cable
Neutral = Blue cable
Live = Brown cable
In the USA & Europe, it is required that all plugs are 3-pin type i.e. with Earth/Ground
connection.
In the UK, it is required that all mains plugs are fitted with 5A fuses.
