WARNING

Unpacking Instructions

Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure

that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer immediately and

retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself

shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be

returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.

Your shipment includes:

• Showtec Tracker 300 with powercable 1,75m

• Quick-lock brackets and M10 nuts

•User manual

LED Expected Lifespan

LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration

of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular

optimum conditions. For this reason when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is

significantly reduced. It is estimated that a viable lifespan of 40,000 to 50,000 hours will be achieved

under normal operational conditions. If improving on this lifespan expectancy is of a higher priority, place

care in providing for lower operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the

reduction of overall projection intensity.
