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 side panel of the unit, next to the AC Cable.
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 is not set to the minimum
position (full counter-clockwise).

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 removable front cover that is retained by thumb screws.
1. Be sure to follow the proper handling procedures that deal with
discharge lamps.
2. Remove the thumb screws on the replacement cover loctated on
the front of the unit.
3. After removing the thumb screws, remove the top cover to
expose the lamp socket assembly.
4. Carefully remove the old lamp.

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.
