Trouble Shooting:
Listed below are a few common problems that
you may encounter, with solutions.
No light output from the unit;
1. Be sure you have connected your unit into a standard
110V wall outlet.
2. Be sure the external breaker has not popped. The breaker is locat-
ed on the rear panel.
3. Remove the lamp cover and be sure the lamp is seated
in its socket properly. Occasionally lamps become loose
during shipping be sure the lamp is push in to its socket
all the way.
Unit does not respond to sound;
1. Be sure the unit's mode switch is in the "I" position, this is
the only mode that allows the unit to operate in sound
active mode.
2. Low frequencies (bass) should cause the unit to react to
sound. Tapping on the microphone, quiet or high
pitched sounds may not activate the unit.

Lamp Replacement
This fixture is fitted with halogen lamps which are
highly susceptible to damage if improperly han-
dled. Never touch 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 cov-
ered under warranty conditions.

will void your manufactures warranty.
Warning:
If after you have replaced the lamp or reset the breaker

age.
Lamp Replacement:
Caution! Never open the unit when in use.
Always disconnect the main power and allow the fixture ample time
to cool before attempting to replace the lamp. Lamp replacement has
been made simple by incorporating a split dome that is retained by
thumb screws.
Again, please remember to always replace with the
exact same type lamp.
1. Be sure to follow the proper procedures when handling halogen
lamps.
Never touch the new lamp with your bare fingers.
2. Unscrew the two thumb screws located on the bottom front of
the unit.
3. Once the thumb screws have been removed, pull the lamp
assembly cover plate up to expose the lamp.
4. Remove and replace the lamp with an exact match.
5. Reassemble in reverse order.

Cleaning
Fixture Cleaning:
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the
internal and external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the
outside casing.
2. Use a brush to wipe down the fan grill.
3. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft
cloth every 20 days.
4. Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth
every 30-60 days.
5. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging
the unit back in.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fix-
ture operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy club use
we recommend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will
ensure longevity, and crisp output.
