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.
