Product
Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean this product
frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the
cleaning frequency.
As a rule, clean this product at least twice a month. Dust build-
up reduces light
output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced light source
life and increased mechanical wear.
Cleaning the ÉPIX Bar Tour:
1. Unplug the product.
2. Wait until the product is at room temperature.
3. Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected
on the external vents and accessible internal components.
4. Clean all external surfaces with a mild solution of non-ammonia glass cleaner
or isopropyl alcohol.
5. Apply a solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning
tissue.
Wipe any dirt or grime to the outside edge of the surface. Gently polish the
surfaces with the lint-free cotton cloth or lens cleaning tissue until they are free
of haze and lint. Always dry the external surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
Expected LED
Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. Packaged in
clusters, the
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. Under normal conditions, this lifespan can
be 40,000 to 50,000 hours.
If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperature by improving the
ventilation around the product and reducing the ambient temperature to an optimal
operating range. In addition, limiting the overall projection intensity may also help
to extend the LED’s lifespan.
