  DJ Spot 300                                         Fuse & Lamp Replacement

This fixture is fitted with a halogen lamp which is 

highly  susceptible  to  damage  if  improperly  han-
dled. Never touch the lamp with your bare fingers 
as the oil from your hands will shorten lamp life. 

Also, never move the fixture until the lamps have 

had  ample  time  to  cool.  Remember,  lamps  are 
not covered under warranty conditions.

Caution:

 

Always  replace  with  the  exact  same  type  lamp  and  fuse, 

unless  otherwise  specified  by  an  authorized  American  DJ

  service 

technician. Replacing with anything other than the specified part can 
damage your unit and will void your manufactures warranty.

Warning: 

If  you  continue  to  blow  lamps  or  fuses,  STOP  using  the 

unit. Contact customer support for further instructions, you may have 
to return the unit for servicing. Continuing to use the unit may cause 
serious damage.

Lamp Replacement:

 

Caution!  Never  attempt  to  change  the  lamp 

while  the  fixture  is  plugged  in.  Always  disconnect  the  main  power 

and allow the unit ample time to cool before attempting to replace the 
lamp. Lamp replacement has been made simple by incorporating the 
use of a slide out socket assembly that is retained by thumb screws.
1.   Be sure to follow the proper handling procedures that deal with  
 

discharge lamps.

2.   Remove the two small screws (A,B) on the rear of the unit 
3.   After removing the screws, gently slide out the socket assembly  

      from the rear of the unit to expose the lamp.

4.  Carefully remove the old lamp and discard it in the trash.

5.  Replace the lamp with an exact match and reassemble in reverse  

 

order.

6.  After replacing the lamp follow the optimization procedures on the  

 

next page to be sure the lamp is center in the reflector

Fuse Replacement:

 Locate and remove the unit’s power cord. Once 

the cord has been removed located the fuse holder located inside the 
power  socket.  Insert  a  flat-head  screw  driver  into  the  power  socket 
and gently pry out the fuse holder. Remove the bad fuse and replace 
with a new one. The fuse holder has a built-in socket for a spare fuse 
be sure not to confuse the spare fuse with active fuse.

GOBO REPLACEMENT:

1. To change the gobos, you must remove the bottom half of the    
    moving head. The bottom half of the moving head is were the fan  
    is located. 

 
2. Unscrew the four phillips screws, that secure the bottom half, and  
    remove.

3. When you remove the bottom half, the gobo and color wheel will  

    now be accessible. Turn the wheel with your hand until you find the  

    gobo you would like to change. Turn the color wheel until the emp-
    ty space is behind the gobo you would like to change.

4. Remove the gobo fixation-ring with a small flat-head screwdriver.  
    Put your finger through the empty space in the color wheel, and  

    push the gobo out towards the front. When doing this you do not  
    need a lot of pressure. You can also use tweezers to gently pull  

    the gobo out, or a small flat-head screwdriver and gently pry out  

    the gobo.

5. Change the gobo, replace the fixation-ring, and reassemble the  

    unit.
