Unpacking Instructions  
Immediately upon receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that  
all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and  
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself

Power  
To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate of  
the fixture or refer to the fixtures specifications chart.  
A fixtures listed current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions.  
All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat (variable  
resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100%  
switch.  
Before applying power to a fixture, check that the source voltage matches the fixtures requirement.  
All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.  
Warning!  
Verify that the power requirement on your unit matches the line voltage applied. All  
fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.

the fixture and remove fixture cover.  
2) If replacing the lamp, remove old lamp first.  
3) Reach in and slide the lamp out of the retaining

fixture using, a suitable Cor Otype clamp. Adjust the angle of the  
fixture by loosening both knobs and tilting the fixture. After finding the  
desired position, retighten both knobs.  
When selecting installation location, take into consideration lamp  
replacement access and routine maintenance.  
Safety cables should always be used.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
The Abyss Jr. is a water ripple or undulation simulation effect that requires no additional connections  
or a controller to operate. It is especially functional when used to project on a light colored surface,  
preferably a pastel or white.  
Whether used in a mobile or permanent environment, you may find it useful to control this effect by  
means of a relay system for remote switching or to go with DMX control, use the latest in DMX  
compatible (Dimmer Relay Pack), all available from CHAUVET.  
A relay system will allow you to remotely trigger the AbyssJr. and any other non-dimmable effect  
light from a switch panel. Make sure to use a cable of at least 25 feet to provide ample distance  
between the control panel and the switch pack for most mobile lighting applications.  
If you would prefer to control it directly from your DMX lighting console then we suggest a DMX  
compatible (relay switch-pack). These devices are an extremely affordable solution to operating non-  
DMX lighting effects remotely.

APPENDIX  
General Maintenance  
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage  
and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should  
be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause  
overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off  
fixture before conducting maintenance.  
Unplug fixture from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust  
collected on external vents and internal components. Clean all glass when the fixture is cold with a  
mild solution of glass cleaner or Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft lint free cotton cloth or lens tissue. Apply  
solution to the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside of the lens. Gently polish optical  
surfaces until they are free of haze and lint. Do not to touch the lamp glass when cleaning fixture. Oil  
and dirt can cause damage and premature aging of the lamp. In the event that the lamp is touched or  
becomes dirty, clean the lamps with an alcohol wipe.  
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to  
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates:  
damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the units  
optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. - Always dry the parts carefully. - Clean  
the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.  
Returns Procedure  
Returned merchandise must be sent prepaid and in the original packing, call tags will not be issued.  
Package must be clearly labeled with a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RA #). Products  
returned without an RA # will be refused. Call CHAUVET and request RA # prior to shipping the  
fixture. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial number and a brief description of the cause  
for the return. Be sure to properly pack fixture, any shipping damage resulting from inadequate  
packaging is the customers responsibility. CHAUVET reserves the right to use its own discretion to  
repair or replace product(s). As a suggestion, proper UPS packing or double-boxing is always a safe  
method to use.  
Claims  
Damage incurred in shipping is the responsibility of the shipper; therefore the damage must be  
reported to the carrier upon receipt of merchandise. It is the customer's responsibility to notify and  
submit claims with the shipper in the event that a fixture is damaged due to shipping. Any other claim  
for items such as missing component/part, damage not related to shipping, and concealed damage,  
must be made within seven (7) days of receiving merchandise.
