MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING THE PRODUCT
WARNING: Disconnect from the mains before starting any maintenance work
It is recommended to clean the front at regular intervals, from impurities caused by dust, smoke, or
other particles to ensure that the light is radiated at maximum brightness.
•
For cleaning, disconnect the main plug from the socket. Use a soft, clean cloth moistened with a
mild detergent. Then carefully wipe the part dry. For cleaning other housing parts use only a soft,
clean cloth. Never use a liquid, it might penetrate the unit and cause damage to it.
• The user must clean the product periodically to maintain optimum performance and cooling. The
user may also upload firmware (product software) to the fixture via the DMX signal input port or USB
port using firmware and instructions from PROLIGHTS.
• The frequency of such maintenance operations is to be performed according to various factors, such
as the amount of the use and the condition of the installation environment (air humidity, presence
of dust, salinity, etc.). It is recommended that the product is subject to annual service by a qualified
technician for special maintenance involving at least the following procedures:
• General cleaning of internal parts.
•
For all the parts subject to friction, using lubricants specifically supplied by PROLIGHTS.
• General visual check of the internal components, cabling, mechanical parts, etc.
• Electrical, photometric and functional checks; eventual repairs.
• Cleaning the lenses. Only use neutral soap and water to clean the lenses, then dry it carefully with
a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
WARNING: the use of alcohol or any other detergent could damage the lenses.
• All other service operations on the product must be carried out by PROLIGHTS, its approved service
agents or trained and qualified personnel.
• It is PROLIGHTS policy to apply the strictest possible calibration procedures and use the best quality
materials available to ensure optimum performance and the longest possible component lifetimes.
However, optical components are subject to wear and tear over the life of the product, resulting
in gradual changes in colours over many thousands of hours of use. The extent of wear and tear
depends heavily on operating conditions and environment, so it is impossible to specify precisely
whether and to what extent performance will be affected. However, you may eventually need to re
-
place optical components if their characteristics are affected by wear and tear after an extended pe
-
riod of use and if you require fixtures to perform within very precise optical and colour parameters.
•
Do not apply filters, lenses or other materials on lenses or other optical components. Use only ac-
cessories approved by PROLIGHTS.
REPLACING THE FUSE
WARNING: Before replacing the fuse, unplug the product from the mains.
• Remove the old fuse from the housing with a suitable screwdriver (anticlockwise) and replace it with
one of the same type and of the same classification (T3.15A 250V).
VISUAL CHECK OF PRODUCT HOUSING
• The parts of the product cover/housing should be checked for eventual damages and breaking
start at least every two months. In addition, especially the parts of the front lens holder have to be
checked mechanically (by means of movement by the part) if it is firmly fastened to the fixture. If
hint of a crack is found on some plastic part, do not use the product until the damaged part will be
replaced.
• Cracks or another damages of the cover/housing parts can be caused by the product transportation
or manipulation and also ageing process may influence materials.
•
This checking is necessary for both fixed installations and preparing product for renting. Any free
moving parts inside of the product, cracked cover/housing or any part of front lens not sitting prop
-
erly in place need to be immediately replaced.
