  RollerTron 250™   

                Trouble Shooting

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 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 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.

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 breaker has not blown. The breaker is locat 

       ed on the bottom panel of the unit. 
3.    Remove the lamp cover and be sure the lamp is seated in its    

 

 socket properly. Occasionally lamps become loose during ship- 

 

 ping be sure the lamp is push in to its socket all the way.

 

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.  

2.   Be sure the 

SeNSITIvITy kNob (1)

 is not set to the minimum   

 

 position (full counter-clockwise).

RollerTron 250™                                        Lamp Replacement

Caution:

 

Always replace with the exact same type lamp, unless oth-

erwise  specified  by  an  authorized  American  DJ

®

  service  technician. 

Replacing  with  anything  other  than  the  specified  part  can  damage 
your unit and will void your manufactures warranty.

Warning: 

If you continue to blow lamps or the breaker, SToP using 

the unit. Contact customer support for further instructions, you may 
have to return the unit for servicing. Continuing to use the unit may 
cause serious damage.

Lamp Replacement:

 

Caution!  Never  attempt  to  change  the  lamp 

while  the  fixture  is  plugged  in.  Always  disconnect  the  main  power 

and allow the unit ample time to cool before attempting to replace the 
lamp. Lamp replacement has been made simple by incorporating the 
use of a flip-up front cover that is retained by thumb screws.

1.   Be sure to follow the proper handling procedures that deal with  

 

halogen lamps.

2.   Remove the thumb screws on the front of the unit that holds the  
 

lamp socket assembly cover in place.

3.   After removing the thumb screw, remove cover from the front   

 

of the unit to expose the lamp socket assembly.

4.  Carefully remove the old lamp and discard it in the trash.

5.  Replace the lamp with an exact match and reassemble in reverse 

 

order.

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.

                                               Breaker Reset

This fixture is fitted with halogen lamps which are 

highly susceptible to damage if improperly han-
dled. Never touch the lamps with your bare fin-
gers as the oil from your hands will shorten lamp 

life. Also, never move the fixture until the lamps 

have had ample time to cool. Remember, lamps 
are not covered under warranty conditions.
