  FREQ 16 Strobe                                                    Cleaning

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and exter-

nal optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light 

output.  
1.   Use a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture 

operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). 

Listed below are a few common problems the user may encounter, 

with solutions.
Unit not responding to DMX:
1.  Check that the DMX cables are connected properly and are    

  wired correctly (pin 3 is “hot”; on some other DMX devices    

  pin 2 may be ‘hot’). Also, check that all cables are connected   

  to the right connectors; it does matter which way the inputs    

  and outputs are connected.
Unit does not respond to sound:
1.  Quiet or high pitched sounds will not activate the unit.
If problems are not resolved; Contact American DJ® for service.

  FREQ 16 Strobe                                     Fuse Replacement

With  this  feature  you  can  connect  the  fixtures  to  one  another 

using the IEC input and output sockets. The quantity that can be 

connected is 3 fixtures maximum. After 3 fixtures you will need to 

use a new power outlet. They must be the same fixtures. DO NOT 

mix fixtures.

  FREQ 16 Strobe                            Power Cord Daisy Chain

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.
