  FREQ 5 Strobe                                                     Warranty

  FREQ 5 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.

removed located the fuse holder located inside the power socket.

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
