Maintenance 

The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be 

inspected by an expert after every year in the course of an acceptance test. 

The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be 

inspected by a skilled person once a year. 

 

The following points have to be considered during the inspection: 

01)

 

All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and 

must not be corroded. 

02)

 

There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots. 

03)

 

Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing. 

04)

 

The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue. 

 

The Spectral M950 Q4 Tour requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean.  

Otherwise, the fixture’s light-output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power supply, and 

then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass cleaner and 

a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents. 

The front lens will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light-

output very quickly. 

Please clean internal components once a year with a light brush and vacuum cleaner.  

Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX and audio connections 

with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying 

electric power. 

 

Troubleshooting 

This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems.  

If a problem occurs, carry out the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit 

operates properly, do not carry out following steps. 

 

No Light 

If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician. 

Suspect two potential problem areas as: the power supply and the LEDs. 

01)

 

Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply. 

02)

 

The LEDs. Return the Spectral to your Showtec dealer. 

03)

 

If both of the above appear to be O.K., plug the unit in again.  

04)

 

If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the Spectral, as this may 

damage the unit and the warranty will become void. 

05)

 

Return the device to your Showtec dealer.
