Limited Warranty (USA Only)

Magmatic Effects warrants its products to be free of manufacturing defects in material and workmanship for a period of two years (730 days) from the original date of purchase. This warranty excludes discharge lamps and all product accessories. The warranty is valid only if the product is purchased within the United States of America, including possessions and territories. The owner is responsible for establishing the date and place of purchase with acceptable evidence when seeking service.

For warranty service, products must be sent to the Magmatic Effects factory with all shipping charges pre-paid. If repairs or service are within the warranty terms, Magmatic Effects will pay return shipping charges to a designated point within the United States. Products must be shipped in their original packaging. No accessories should be shipped with the product, and Magmatic Effects assumes no liability for loss or damage to accessories.

This warranty is void if the product serial number or labels are altered or removed; if the product is modified in a way that affects its reliability; if the product has been repaired or serviced by anyone other than the Magmatic Effects factory without prior written authorization; or if the product is damaged due to improper maintenance.

This is not a service contract. Magmatic Effects will replace defective parts at its expense and cover warranty service and repair labor costs due to defects in material or workmanship. The sole responsibility of Magmatic Effects is limited to repair or replacement at its discretion. Products covered by this warranty were manufactured after January 1, 1990, and bear identifying marks.

Magmatic Effects reserves the right to make design and performance improvements without obligation to include these changes in previously manufactured products.

No warranty, expressed or implied, is made for accessories supplied with the products. Implied warranties of merchantability or fitness are limited to the warranty periods stated. Magmatic Effects shall not be liable for any direct or consequential loss or damage arising from the use or inability to use this product.

This warranty is the only written warranty applicable to Magmatic Effects products and supersedes all prior warranties and descriptions.

Warranty Returns (USA Only)

To obtain warranty service, a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number must first be obtained from MAGMATIC. The customer must provide proof of purchase and serial number (e.g., invoice copy or MAGMATIC Extended Warranty Certificate) and any relevant maintenance records. Failure to provide this information may result in denial of warranty service.

Products returned for warranty service must be sent without accessories (e.g., power, data, safety cables, brackets, clamps, rigging hardware, frost filters, gel frames, barn doors, lenses, hoses, nozzles, rack mounting hardware, etc.). They must be boxed using original or suitable packaging materials for transit. Shipments must be freight pre-paid and insured to MAGMATIC in Los Angeles, CA, or a MAGMATIC Authorized Service Center. The RMA number must be clearly written on the outside of the return box, with a brief description of the problem and the RMA number included inside the box.

Products returned without an RMA number clearly marked will be refused and returned to the shipper at the customer's expense. Products returned for warranty service, which are received damaged due to inadequate packaging or shipping carrier damage may incur additional repair charges or void the warranty. MAGMATIC is not liable for loss or damage to any accessories shipped with the product. If requested warranty repairs are within the warranty terms, MAGMATIC will pay return ground transportation shipping charges to a single designated point within the United States.

Installation Instructions

Flammable Material Warning

Keep fixture minimum 5.0 feet (1.5m) away from flammable materials and/or pyrotechnics.

Electrical Connections

A qualified electrician should be used for all electrical connections and/or installations.

Use caution when power linking other model fixtures, as their power consumption may exceed the max power output of this fixture. Check the silk screen for max amps.

DO NOT INSTALL THE FIXTURE IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO!

The installation height should be at least 9.8 FT (3.0 METERS) above the ground.

Fixture MUST be installed following all local, national, and country commercial electrical and construction codes and regulations.

Before rigging/mounting a single fixture or multiple interconnected fixtures for custom matrix designs to any metal truss/structure or placing the fixture(s) on any surface, a professional equipment installer MUST be consulted to determine if the metal truss/structure or surface is properly certified to safely hold the combined weight of the fixture(s), clamps, cables, and accessories.

Ambient operating temperature range is from 14°F (-10°C) to 113°F (45°C). Do not operate this fixture when ambient temperature falls outside this range.

Fixture(s) should be installed in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or away from areas where unauthorized personnel might reach the fixture by hand.

NEVER stand directly below the fixture(s) when rigging, removing, or servicing.

Overhead fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an appropriately rated safety cable (not included) that meets all local, national, and country codes and regulations. Allow approximately 15 minutes for the fixture to cool down before servicing.

Clamp Installation

This fixture features a mounting clamp attachment point, located on the mounting yoke, as well as a safety cable rigging point, located on the back side of the fixture. When mounting this fixture to truss, be sure to secure an appropriately rated clamp (not included) to the clamp attachment point and attach a separate SAFETY CABLE of the appropriate rating to the safety cable rigging point.

Diagram Description: An illustration shows a clamp attached to a truss, connected to the fixture's mounting yoke via the "Mounting Clamp Attachment Point". A safety cable is shown attached from the truss to the "Safety Cable Rigging Point" on the back of the fixture. Text emphasizes: "SAFETY CABLE: ALWAYS ATTACH A SAFETY CABLE WHENEVER INSTALLING THIS FIXTURE IN A SUSPENDED ENVIRONMENT TO ENSURE THE FIXTURE WILL NOT FALL IF THE CLAMP FAILS."

Rigging

Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including but not limited to: calculating working load limits, understanding the installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.

System Menu

The fixture includes an easy-to-navigate system menu. The control panel, located on the back side of the fixture, provides access to the main system menu where all necessary system adjustments can be made.

During normal operation, pressing the MODE button once accesses the fixture's main menu. Once in the main menu, you can navigate through different functions and access sub-menus with the UP and DOWN buttons. To adjust a field, press ENTER to activate it, then use UP and DOWN buttons. Pressing ENTER again confirms the setting. You can exit the main menu at any time without making adjustments by pressing the MODE button.

The display screen automatically times out after 30 seconds of inactivity. To unlock the display screen, press and hold the MODE button until it unlocks.

Diagram Description: A simple line drawing shows the control panel with four buttons labeled: MODE, DOWN, UP, ENTER.
