Cleaning Your Trackspot
®
How often you clean your Trackspot depends on the environment. If
your fixture is used in a dusty/oily environment, you should clean your
fixture once a month. A clean fixture helps maintain performance and
reliability, since dust and dirt can accumulate and cause loss of light
output, overheating, and/or malfunctions.
Cautions: 1) If the fixture has been operating, allow the
fixture at least 5 minutes to cool before
handling.
2) Use
only
a low-pressure compressed air
source (25 psi or lower)
3) To avoid personal injury, do not expose
your eyes or skin to the direct jet of
compressed air, since it can constitute a
serious health hazard. Use suitable
protection for your eyes and exposed skin.
Warning: Unplug the fixture before cleaning.
To thoroughly clean your Trackspot, you will need:
• a soft, lint-free cotton cloth
• mild glass cleaning solution
• vacuum
• soft dusting brush or low-pressure compressed air source
•1/4-inch wrench
• cotton swab
Cleaning the Outer Surfaces
Wipe the outer surfaces with a soft cloth or use a vacuum to remove the
dust and dirt. Vacuum dirt from the cooling fan air vents; do not use a
blower to clean the fan, since this will force dirt into the fixture.
To clean the fixture’s lens and mirror, apply a small amount of mild
glass cleaning solution to a clean, soft cloth and gently wipe the lens
and mirror surfaces.
Note: Make sure to clean both sides of the lens glass. To access
the inside of the lens tube glass, loosen the adjustment
thumbscrew and remove the lens tube from the fixture.
See Figure 2-12 on page 2-17 to locate the lens tube and
adjustment thumbscrew.
You must refocus the fixture after removing the lens tube.
For information on focusing the fixture, see “Focusing the
Fixture” on page 2-17.
