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 Candela Pix 100 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. Wipe the front glass panel clean with glass cleaner and a soft
cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
The front glass panel 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 and audio connections
with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying
electric power.
