Internal Lens Condensation

Symptoms/Issue

The inside of the output lens has condensation on it.

Description/Explanation of Issue

Too much internal humidity will cause condensation on the inside of the output lens. 

Fix/Solution

  1. With the fixture powered on, view the Humidity amount in the Info menu. The goal is to have humidity at 10% or less. Note: Viewing Humidity under display battery power will show 0% so the fixture must be powered on to see the correct humidity level.

  11. Once humidity reads 10% or below re-install the cover, tighten the base screws and verify humidity is still at 10% or less.
  12. If humidity is above 10% after installing the lens cover and tightening the base screws, repeat the process again until humidity id 10% or below.
