Please read the following Safety Notes carefully before starting to work with the product.
These notes provide important safety information about the installation, usage, and
maintenance.
· This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Any reference to servicing in
this User Manual will only apply to properly trained Chauvet certified
technicians. Do not open the housing or attempt any repairs.
· If product is being used in a mobile or touring application, the VIP™ Media
System must be mounted in a shock resistant (or shock mount) road case. This
will help prevent damage to the hard drives.
Please refer to all applicable local codes and regulations for the proper installation
of the product.
· Always connect the product to a grounded circuit to avoid the risk of electrocution.
· The product is rated IP43 and should only be used in environments meeting that
criteria.
· When hanging the product, always secure to a fastening device using a safety cable.
· The maximum ambient temperature is 122 °F (50 °C). Do not operate the product at
higher temperatures.
· CAUTION: When transferring product from extreme temperature environments,
(e.g. cold truck to warm humid ballroom) condensation may form on the internal
electronics of the product. To avoid causing a failure, allow product to fully acclimate
to the surrounding environment before connecting it to power.
· Do not operate the product if you see damage on the housing, LED modules, or
cables. In any of these cases, have the damaged parts replaced by an authorized
technician.
· Do not open or modify the product.
· To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use
completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
· Make sure the product is connected to the proper voltage provided in this manual's
specifications and/or the specification sticker on the product.
· Never try to repair the product. Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to
damage or malfunction. Please contact Chauvet Technical Support.
· Any damages caused by manual modifications are not subject to warranty.
Chauvet will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by
unauthorized modifications or not observing the safety warnings and
instructions in the manual.
· DO NOT mount this product outdoors! These panels do not allow wind to flow
through them and will act like a sail.
In the unlikely event that your Chauvet product may require service, contact
Chauvet Technical Support.
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. Packaged in
clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal, single LED
conditions. For this reason, using clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly
reduces the LEDs' lifespan. The electrical, thermal management design of the PVP™ X3
panel is designed to provide the longest LED lifespan possible. Under normal operating
conditions, this lifespan can be 50,000 hours or longer. If extending this lifespan is vital,
lower the operational temperature by improving ventilation around the fixture and
reducing the ambient temperature to an optimal operating range. In addition, limiting the
overall projection intensity may also help to extend the LEDs' lifespan.
