Vortex 1200 Fuse Replacement
Vortex 1200 Cleaning
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and exter-
nal optical lenses and mirror should be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environ-
ment 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 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.
Listed below are a few common problems the user may encounter,
with solutions.
Unit not responding to DMX:
1. Check that the DMX cables are connected properly and are
wired correctly (pin 3 is “hot”; on some other DMX devices
pin 2 may be ‘hot’). Also, check that all cables are connected
to the right connectors; it does matter which way the inputs
and outputs are connected.
Unit does not respond to sound:
1. Quiet or high pitched sounds will not activate the unit.
2. Check the sound sensitivity level.
Vortex 1200 Troubleshooting
Disconnect the unit from its power source. Locate the fuse holder on
the rear panel of the unit. Using a phillips-head screw driver unscrew
the fuse holder. Remove the bad fuse and replace with a new one.
Screw the fuse holder back into the unit containing the new fuse.
