Quick Guide

The Elation KL Fresnel 6 CW is a professional LED lighting fixture. Before operation, ensure the unit is properly grounded and installed by qualified personnel. The fixture is designed for indoor, dry locations only. During initial operation, a light smoke or smell may occur; this is normal as excess paint burns off from the casing.

Safety Guidelines

  • Protection Class 1: The fixture must be properly grounded.
  • No User Serviceable Parts: Do not attempt repairs yourself, as this voids the warranty.
  • Heat Warning: Never touch the fixture housing during operation. Allow 15 minutes to cool before servicing.
  • Environment: Use in indoor, dry locations only. Keep flammable materials away.
  • Ventilation: Do not block air ventilation slots. Maintain at least 6 inches (15cm) of clearance.
  • Eye Safety: Never look directly into the light source.

Installation

The fixture must be installed following all local, national, and country commercial electrical and construction codes. When rigging in a suspended environment, always use a secondary safety cable.
