ACT Fresnel 50 WW 

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 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 ACT Fresnel 50 WW 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. 
Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX connections with a damp 
cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power. 
 

Replacing the Fuse 

Power surges, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out. If the 
fuse burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens, follow the directions below: 
01)

 

Unplug the unit from electric power source. 

02)

 

Insert a screwdriver into the slot of the fuse cover. Turn the fuse holder counterclockwise. The fuse 
holder will come out. 

03)

 

Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out. 

04)

 

Insert the replacement fuse into the holder where the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse cover. Be sure to 
use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details. 

 
 

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 three potential problem areas as: the power supply, the LED, the fuse. 
01)

 

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

02)

 

The LED. Return the device to your Showtec dealer. 

03)

 

The fuse. Replace the fuse. See page 22 for replacing the fuse. 

04)

 

If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.  

05)

 

If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the device, as this may 
damage the unit and the warranty will become void. 

06)

 

Return the device to your Showtec dealer. 

 

No Response to DMX 

Suspect the DMX cable or connectors, a controller malfunction, a light effect DMX card malfunction. 
01)

 

Check the DMX settings. Make sure that DMX addresses are correct. 

02)

 

Check the DMX cable: Unplug the unit; change the DMX cable; then reconnect to electrical power. 
Try your DMX control again. 

03)

 

Determine whether the controller or light effect is at fault. Does the controller operate properly with 
other DMX products? If not, take the controller in for repair. If so, take the DMX cable and the light 
effect to a qualified technician.
