elektraLite MY 150 - Manual (Page 4)

GENERAL GUIDELINES
MY 150 is a lighting effect for professional use on stages, in clubs, theatres, and so on.
This fixture should only be operated at the voltage, which stated in the technical specifications in the last page
of this manual.
MY 150 is designed for indoor use only.
MY 150 is not designed for permanent operation. Consistent operation breaks may ensure that the device will
serve you for a long time without defects.
Do not shake MY 150.
Do not use physical force when installing or operating MY 150.
While choosing the installation position, please make sure that MY 150 is not exposed to extreme heat,
moisture or dust.
The minimum distance from MY 150 front lens to any illuminated surface must be more than 3 feet.
Please be careful what surface you shine the light onto; light also has heat and this can effect the illuminated
surface. Elektralite will not be responsible for fading, color distortion or heat distortion caused by the light
beam.
When you hang MY 150 please use an appropriate safety cable. Please make sure that any hanging
equipment, like threaded rod or C clamp is appropriate for the job. Remember, with a moving yoke fixture, that
the momentum of moving this large mass will cause extra “stress” on any mounting materials. When mounting
MY 150 in the air you need to use M10 bolts. The M10 bolts should be no less than 25mm long and the thread
type should be 1.5mm.
Metric explanation:- If you go to a good hardware store (like Home Depot or Lowes) you will be purchasing
bolts that have written on the packaging 10mm x 1.5mm x 25mm. [The last figure of 25mm can be a higher
value read on].
10mm is the diameter of the bolt itself. 10mm is roughly 0.4 of an inch. In engineering drawings 10mm is also
written or described as M10.
1.5mm is the distance between each thread or turn of the screw. Engineering drawings refer to this as the pitch
of the screw. Now in places like Home Depot they stock 10mm bolts with 1.0mm, 1.25mm and 1.5mm pitch. So
be careful you buy the right pitch: 1.5mm.
25mm is the minimum length of bolt you should use. Bolts are available in 5mm steps. So you can get 25mm,
30mm, 35mm and so on. Choose the bolt that best fits the length you will need to hold the C clamp or whatever
clamping device you will be using.
Finally, just FYI 25.4mm is 1 inch.
Only operate MY 150 after you know its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not qualified.
Please use the original packaging if the device is to be transported. [Beware the majority of shipping
companies will not accept any liability for damage if the fixture is not shipped in the manufacturer’s original box
and insert packaging material].
If this fixture is operated in any other way different to that described in this manual, the fixture could be
damaged and any warranty would be void.
