their fastest setting.
If the temperature rises above 55°C, the device shall switch to power reduction mode. For every degree
above 55°C, the light output of the device is reduced by 5%. The upper limit is 68°C. When this limit is
reached, the light output is switched off completely until the temperature drops to 60°C or less. It is strongly
advised that the device is not used permanently or regularly in situations where it reaches such extreme
temperature levels. At normal room temperature, the device can maintain full power and will never reach
these extremes of temperature.
Parts and repairs
This product does not include spare parts and can not be repaired by the user. Any inspections and overall
maintenance should be carried out by a specialist only.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the exterior of this device on a monthly basis with a dry, or slightly damp microfibre cloth. Ensure that
the device is unplugged before cleaning it.
Check that all screws are intact and secured and tighten or replace them where needed. Check all metal
parts of the device for any signs of corrosion. If corrosion is found, the device needs to be checked
thoroughly.
Power Output
The Compar 20 Plus is fitted with a Neutrik Powercon power input and a Neutrik Powercon power output.
This makes it possible to link multiple devices with one single power supply, wall socket or power block.
The fuse fitted in this device is intended to protect that single device only. The input and output of the power
supply are directly wired to each other.
Since a standard 230 V group can handle a maximum load of 16A, and each Compar 20 Plus consumes
energy itself, the output can only handle 15A worth of external devices. This also includes a calculated safety
margin.
DMX Terminator
When using the device in DMX mode, it is common for a ‘terminator’ to be used at the end of the DMX
circuit. A DMX terminator is a terminal resistor, consisting of a 120 Ohm resistor placed between the second
and third pins to eliminate any data reflections. Data reflections can cause strange behaviour in DMX
controlled devices.
DMX-terminators are sold read-made but it is possible to solder a 120 Ohm resistor between the second and
third pins of a standard, male XLR connector.
