  Matrix Beam LED  

 

                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 the external fuse has not blown. The fuse is located on  

   the rear panel of the unit. 

2.   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 cleaning 

the internal and external optical lenses and mirror should be carried 

out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends 

on the environment in which the fixture 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 out-

put.
1.  Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the out- 

  side 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.

 Matrix Beam LED                                             Fuse Replacement

Disconnect the unit from its power source. Remove the power cord 

from the unit. Once the cord has been removed, you will find that 

the fuse holder is 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 also 

has a holder for a spare fuse.
