DO NOT TOUCH the driver housing during operation. Turn OFF the power and allow approximately 15 minutes for the driver to cool down before servicing.
DO NOT shake driver, and avoid brute force when installing and/or operating.
DO NOT operate driver if the power cord is frayed, crimped, damaged and/or if any of the power cord connectors are damaged and do not insert into their sockets securely and with ease. NEVER force a power cord connector into a socket. If the power cord or any of its connectors are damaged, replace it immediately with a new one of the same power rating.
DO NOT block any air ventilation slots.

Always disconnect driver from main power source before performing any type of service and/or cleaning procedure. Only handle the power cord by the plug end, and NEVER pull out the plug by tugging the wire portion of the cord.
Consistent operational breaks will ensure driver will function properly for many years.
ONLY use the original packaging and materials to transport the driver for service.

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE!

CLEANING

Frequent cleaning is recommended to ensure proper function and an extended life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the driver operates: damp, smoky, or particularly dirty environments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the driver. Clean the external surface periodically with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation.

NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.

MAINTENANCE

Regular inspections are recommended to ensure proper function and extended life. There are no user serviceable parts inside this driver, please refer all other service issues to an authorized MAGMATIC service technician. Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local MAGMATIC dealer. Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:

A detailed electrical check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make sure the circuit contacts are in good condition in order to prevent overheating.
Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Loose screws may fall out during normal operation, resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.
Check for any deformations on the housing, rigging hardware, and rigging points (ceil- ing, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for dust or liquids to enter into the driver. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the driver to fall and seriously injure a person(s).
Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue, or sediments.

NEVER remove the ground prong from the power cable.

This driver is suitable for use with the following Magmatic lighting fixtures:

Prisma Mini BAR 20
