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

No light from the unit;

1.  Check the breaker in the back panel. 
2.  Check if lamp is lit. The user should be able to see some light   
 

escape through the fan. If power is present but the lamp is not lit,  

 

lamp may need to be replaced. 

 

Note: The unit has been designed to shut the lamp down after 60 sec-
onds of inactivity. This is a way of extending lamp life, be assured this 
is not the problem with the fixture.

Unit not responding to DMX;

 

1.  Check the dipswitch settings. 
2.  Check that all cables are connected to the right connectors; it  
 

does matter which way the inputs and outputs are connected.

3.  If it is a bad connection, the Green LED may flash when cables are  
 

wiggled (but remember it may also be the unit sensing audio!)

4.  If DMX connectors are fairly short, ordinary microphone cables  
 

may be used. For longer runs, this may cause data transmission  

 

problems (which will show up as random or incorrect movements)  

 

for best result, use proper balanced data transmission cable.

Unit does not respond to sound;

1.  Be sure the audio sensitivity knob is turn in the full clockwise    
 

position (maximum sensitivity). 

Unit blacks out in stand alone mode;

1.  Some of the units’ built-in patterns include special effects such  
 

as blackout sweeps. 

2.  Be sure the audio sensitivity knob is turn in the full clockwise    
 

position (maximum sensitivity).

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 normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the out- 
 

side 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. Situation may very. If used heavily in clubs with lots of  

 

fog, cleaning may be required more often.

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 in.

Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture 
operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew).

           Breaker Reset

This  unit  is  equipped  with  a  built-in  safety  breaker.  This  breaker  is 
designed  to  close  the  power  circuit  in  the  event  of  an  internal  short 

or power surge. This will reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire and 

protect the circuitry. To reset the breaker, push the breaker button in 
until  you  hear  it  “pop”  back  in  to  place.  If  the  breaker  continues  to 
pop, stop using the unit and contact our customer support team, the 
unit may need to be returned for service.
