Chauvet YA-15 - Manual (Page 2)

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 your local voltage.
Check the label on the unit and the power plug for the correct voltage.
When connected to the mains power supply the unit should illuminate.
Replacing Lamps
1. Disconnect from main power supply before attempting to replace lamp.
2. Ensure that the unit is sufficiently cool, before removing blown lamp.
In order to replace the lamp, disconnect from main power supply first, and remove the lamp
retaining clip, which is highlighted on the diagram (fig.1). Only use the appropriately rated lamps
as use of any other lamp type may cause the unit to be non-operational.
On the rear of the lamp you should find two screw terminals which simply hold the spade
connectors attached to the two cables found inside the pinspot when cover and lamp is removed.
These terminals must be screwed up tight to ensure good connection. It does not matter which of
the two terminals goes to which cable, so you cannot get it the wrong way round.
Finally before switching on, check that the lamp is housed correctly in the lamp holder and that
the lamp retaining clip has been replaced.
Optional Accessories
There are a number of optional accessories available from CHAUVET for your new Pinspot
including; rotating color wheel (CH-04), and color gels (CL-36). We also supply mirrorballs and
motors which provide a great partner for some dazzling effects! Ask your dealer for further details.
Replacing Fuses
If the unit does not function at all when connected to the main power supply i.e. does not
illuminate after replacing the lamp. Then it is highly likely that the fuse has blown.
Disconnect from main power supply before attempting to replace either lamps or fuse.
In order to replace the fuse, disconnect from the main power supply first, and then unscrew the
fuseholder cover to reveal the fuse. The unit has a label attached which indicates the correct fuse
rating and you will also find this listed as part of the specifications for the unit later in this guide. It
is most important that replacement fuses are of the correct rating. Failure to use the correct fuse
could damage the lighting effect beyond economic repair.
The fuse should simply be placed inside the holder and the screw cap replaced, when this is
done connect to the main power supply to check. If the unit is still not working then please contact
your dealer or CHAUVET for servicing.
Cleaning
The most important part of your lighting effect to keep clean is the lens on the lamp 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.
Maintenance & Servicing
Work on internal parts should be carried out by a qualified technician. Removal of any covers
other than the lamp replacement access is considered a breach of warranty and will not be
covered under any such agreement unless authorized first by the company.
Troubleshooting
• If the unit is not functional – check main power supply is ‘on’ and check fuses.
• 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.
Caution
No user serviceable parts inside, 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 3A fuses.
