                        Gobo Replacement

This unit comes with interchangable gobos. Changing the 
gobos is a easy procedure. Follow the instructions below.

Caution!

 

Never open the unit when in use. Always disconnect 

the main power before attempting to change the gobos.

1. To change the gobo, you must remove the top half of the       
    unit.
2. First unscrew the four phillips screws on the top half of the  
    shell. Remove the top half of the shell.
3. When you remove the top shell you will be able to access the  
    colored gobo wheel. Turn the wheel with your hand until you  
    come across the gobo you would like to change. 
4. Remove the fixation-ring with a small flat-head screwdriver.  
    Push the gobo out towards the rear. When doing this you       
    do not need a lot of pressure. 

   

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

                          Trouble Shooting

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 120v  
 

 wall outlet.  

2.    Be sure the external fuse has not blown. The fuse is located  
 

 on the back panel of the unit inside the power socket.

3.    Remove the lamp holder and be sure the lamp is seated in  
 

 its socket properly. Occasionally lamps become loose dur-

 

 ing shipping be sure the lamp is push in to its socket all the  

 

 way.

4.   Be sure the fuse holder is completely and properly seated. 

 
Unit does not respond to sound;

1.     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.  

Fixture Cleaning:

 

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust clean-

ing the internal and external optical lenses and mirror should be 
carried  out  periodically  to  optimize  light  output.  Cleaning  fre-
quency depends on the environment in which the fixture oper-
ates (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.
1.  Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the  
  outside casing.
2.  Use a brush to wipe down the cooling vents and fan grill.
3.  Clean the external optics and mirror 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.
