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 Showtec ColorCue 1 requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean.  
Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in 
liquid. Do not use alcohol or solvents. 
Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX and audio connections 
with a damp cloth. Make sure that the 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 ColorCue 1 does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician. 
Suspect three potential problem areas: the power supply, the ColorCue 1, the LED fixture. 
01)

 

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

02)

 

The ColorCue 1. Return the ColorCue 1 to your Showtec dealer. 

03)

 

The LED fixture does not respond to the ColorCue 1. Check the DMX address of the fixture and the 
controller. Make sure that they match. Make sure that the connections are correct.  

04)

 

If all appears to be OK, plug the unit in again. 

05)

 

If nothing happens after 30 seconds, unplug the device. 

06)

 

If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the ColorCue 1, as this may 
damage the unit and the warranty will become void. 

07)

 

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 setting. 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.
