Please read the following Safety Notes carefully before starting to work with the product.
These notes provide important safety information about the installation, usage, and
maintenance.
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Any reference to servicing in this
User Manual will only apply to properly trained Chauvet certified technicians. Do
not open the housing or attempt any repairs.
If product is being used in a mobile or touring application, the VIP Media System
must be mounted in a shock resistant (or shock mount) road case. This will help
prevent damage to the hard drives.
Please refer to all applicable local codes and regulations for the proper installation
of the product.
· Always connect the product to a grounded circuit to avoid the risk of electrocution.
· Do not submerge this product (IP65). Temporary outdoor operation is fine.
· When hanging the product, always secure to a fastening device using a safety cable.
· The maximum ambient temperature is 122 °F (50 °C). Do not operate the product at
higher temperatures.
· CAUTION: When transferring product from extreme temperature environments,
(e.g. cold truck to warm humid ballroom) condensation may form on the internal
electronics of the product. To avoid causing a failure, allow product to fully acclimate
to the surrounding environment before connecting it to power.
· Do not operate the product if you see damage on the housing, LED modules, or
cables. In any of these cases, have the damaged parts replaced by an authorized
technician.
· Do not open or modify the product.
· To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use
completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
· Make sure the product is connected to the proper voltage provided in this manual's
specifications and/or the specification sticker on the product.
· This product is intended to be installed on a static structure. Installing this product on
a mobile structure may void the manufacturer's warranty.

damage or malfunction. Please contact Chauvet Technical Support.
Any damage caused by manual modification is not subject to warranty. Chauvet
will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by unauthorized
modifications or by not observing the safety warnings and instructions in the
manual.
Use CAUTION when mounting these products outdoors! Although these panels
will allow some wind to flow through them, they may act like a sail.
In the unlikely event that your Chauvet product requires service, contact Chauvet
Technical Support.
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. Packaged in
clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal, single LED
conditions. For this reason, using clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly
reduces the LEDs' lifespan. The electrical, thermal management design of the PVP X6IP
panel provides the longest LED lifespan possible. Under normal operating conditions,
this lifespan can be 50,000 hours or longer. If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the
operational temperature by improving ventilation around the fixture and reducing the
ambient temperature to an optimal operating range. In addition, limiting the overall
projection intensity may also extend the LEDs' lifespan.
