b. Maintenance 

With care the Color Block PSU-30 will require little maintenance. However, as the unit is likely to 
be used in a stage environment we recommend periodical internal inspection and cleaning of 
any resulting dust and cracked oil residue. In addition the internal battery will need to be 
replaced on a regular basis (see following section). 

 
Do not spray liquids on the front or rear panel. If the front enclosure requires cleaning, wipe 
with a mild detergent on a damp soft cloth.  

 

c. Battery replacement 

The CR20/32 Lithium battery should last approximately 5 years from the date the battery was 
made – note that a 4 year life from date of product sale would not be unexpected when delivery 
and manufacturing times are allowed for. 
 

Caution: 

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or 

equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the 
battery manufacturer’s instructions and local regulations.
