Safety recommendations and warnings
Warning! Carefully read the warnings below before using or working with the product!
• Always adhere to the local rules and regulations when installing or using the fixture.
• Do not use the fixture when either its lamp or its power cord are damaged. Replace the power cord only with original certified cords. Replace the lamp only with lamps specified by Gavita (see paragraph 10.1).
• Do not expose the fixture to:
- condensing humidity, heavy mist, fog or direct spray.
- temperatures outside the specified range.
- dust and contamination.
• Only use the lamps specified by Gavita for this product. The use of other lamps may damage the product and lamp and will void the warranty.
• Always disconnect the fixture from the mains before performing any task on it.
• Always allow for a cool down period of at least 30 minutes before touching the lamp or reflector. Touching the lamp or the reflector when the lamp is lit or immediately afterwards will result in severe burns!
• Do not use the fixture near flammable, explosive or reactive substances. The lamp and the reflector of the fixture become very hot during use.
• Do not use sulfur vaporizers or water misters close to your fixture. Sulfur and calcium deposits on your reflector will decrease its efficiency.
• Never touch the lamp or the inside of the reflector with bare hands as this will cause damage to the lamp or reflector.

• Switch the power selector knob on the Gavita ballast to the “EXT” (5) position.
• Connect the controller to the included RJ14 splitter (4D) using the controller’s connection cable (4C).
• Connect one output of the splitter to the RJ14 plug of the fixture using the interconnect cable (4E). The indicator light on the ballast will blink when the connection is successful.
• Connect the other output of the splitter to the input of the following RJ14 splitter using and interconnect cable (4F).
• Repeat this process to connect up to 40 ballasts per controller port (4A/B).

Connecting the fixture to the mains
Warning! Ensure the cord is not coiled and does not touch any hot surfaces.
Warning! If external switching gear is used to switch the fixture, ensure it can cope with the inrush current of the fixture (see paragraph 3.2). Always use a double throw contactor suitable of switching a capacitive load. Never use household timers to switch the fixture!
• If a controller is used, ensure the controller is connected to the fixture.
• Plug the power cord into the mains.

Product use
Warning! Never use the fixture without a lamp or reflector!
8.1.
Adjusting the output of the lamp manually
Note: This fixture has a soft-dim feature that will gradually dim or boost the output when it is switched. It will take about 60 seconds per step. The dimming process is so slow that your eyes will not see it happen. Soft-dim increases the lifespan of your lamp.
• Turn the output control knob to adjust the output of the lamp:
300/400/500/600/660 Watt (6).
8.2.
Using the controller to adjust the output of the lamp
The lamp is steplessly variable when connected to a controller (50 -110%). Consult the manual of the controller for more information on controlling the output of the lamp.

Inspection, maintenance and repair
Warning! Disconnect the product from mains before performing any maintenance or repairs.
Warning! Do not open or disassemble the fixture, it contains no servicable parts inside. Opening the fixture can be dangerous and will void the warranty.
Warning! Always allow for a cool down period of at least 30 minutes before touching the lamp or reflector.
Caution! Do not clean the fixture with detergents, abrasives or other agressive substances.
Caution! Do not touch the inside of the reflector and do not use water, abrasives or detergents to clean it. This will damage the reflective surface.
Caution! Ensure the exterior of the fixture is dry after cleaning it.
• Regularly check the fixture for dust or dirt buildup. Clean if necessary.
Contamination may couse overheating and decreased performance:
- Clean the inside of the reflector only with a soft, dry cloth.

10.1.
Placement and replacement of the lamp
Caution! Do not touch the lamp with bare hands as this will damage the lamp.
Always use a fabric glove to handle the lamp.
Caution! Only use lamps specified by Gavita (see paragraph 3.3).
Note: Gavita recommends replacing the lamp every year or after 5000 lighting hours, whichever one comes first.
• Use a fabric glove to carefully unscrew the lamp from the socket (7). Use a protective glove if the lamp is damaged.
• Use a fabric glove to carefully screw a new lamp into the socket (8).
• Plug the fixture back into the mains.
10.2.
Placement and replacement of the reflector
Depending on the environment and contamination levels the reflector will degrade.
The vega/Miro tm aluminum can not be cleaned without damage. Therefore we recommend to change the reflector once every year or two years.
• Remove the lamp from the fixture (see paragraph 10.1).
• Support the reflector on the side of the reflector lever to prevent it from falling
(9).
• Move the reflector lever up to retract the two pins holding the reflector in place
(10).
• Remove the reflector (11) and place a new reflector in the fixture. Ensure the reflector lever is in the opened position to allow the reflector to pass.
• Ensure the holes in the reflector are aligned with the pins in the fixture (12).
• Release the reflector lever so its two pins hold the reflector in place.
• Insert the lamp in the lamp holder (see paragraph 10.1).
