Maintenance 

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are to be 
inspected by an expert after every four years in the course of an acceptance test. 
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating 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: 

1. 

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

    not be corroded.

 

2. 

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

 

3. 

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

 

4. 

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

 

The Showtec Dreamer 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. 
The cooling-fans, dichroic colour-filters, the gobo-wheel, the gobos and the internal lenses should be 
cleaned monthly with a soft brush. 

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. 
 

Changing the Lamp 

1.

 Disconnect mains power supply, and allow 15 minutes to cool down. Loosen the 2 screws on the back  

    of housing. 

2.

 Gently remove the metal housing. 

3.

 Follow directions for installing a new lamp, page 7.

 

 

Replacing a 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 to do 

so.

 

1.

 Unplug the unit from electric power source. 

2.

 Insert a flat-head screwdriver into a slot in the fuse cover. Gently pry up the fuse cover. The fuse will  

    come out. 

3.

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

4.

 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.
