Listed below are a few common problems the user may encoun-
ter, followed by possible solutions.
No light from the unit;
1. Check if the ‘Power On’ (red) LED is lit and the fan is running.
If not, there is no main supply.
2. Check the fuse.
3. Check if lamp is lit. The user should be able to see some light
escape through the fan. If power is present but the lamp is not
lit, lamp may need to be replaced.
4. Be sure the main power is pushed in all the way on the rear
of the unit as well as the power outlet
5. Be sure the power switch is in the on position.
The fan is on but there is not light output;
1. Be sure to give lamp ample time to warm up.
2. Open the socket assemble and be sure the lamp is properly
installed.
Unit not responding to DMX;
1. Be sure your dip switch settings are correct.
2. 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.
3. If DMX connectors are fairly short, ordinary microphone
cables may be used. For longer runs, this may cause data
transmission problems (which will show up as random or
incorrect movements) for best result, use proper balanced
data transmission cable.
If problems are not resolved;

FS-150SCI™ Cleaning
FS-150SCI™ Lamp Replacement
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust, cleaning the internal and external
optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside
casing.
2. Use a brush to wipe down the fan grill and remove as much built up
as possible.
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 in.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture
operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew).
