Set Up and Operation
The set up and operation of all the Firestorm series is similar. The main
difference is that function channels of various items vary, so that dip switch
settings differ slightly. Follow directions below as they pertain to your particular
product and your preferred operation mode.
Before plugging unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the
product specification voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 240V specification
product on 120V power, or vice versa.
Setting up your Firestorm for Audio Control
(1) Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing (Use a 30-kg rated or stronger C-
clamp fastened onto the Firestorm bracket). Leave at least one meter on all
sides for air circulation.

Maintenance
Firestorm series require almost no maintenance. However, you should:
!
Keep the unit clean. Disconnect the mains power supply, then wipe the cover
with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass
cleaner and a soft cloth. Clean internal components about once a year with a
light brush and vacuum cleaner. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
!
Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, 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
Replacing a Fuse
Power surges 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, replace the fuse as follows:
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.
3) Note two fuses: The replacement fuse is covered; The used fuse has both
ends exposed. Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out.
4) Push the replacement fuse out of its cover, then insert the replacement fuse
into the holder where the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse cover.Products are
packed with a replacement fuse. If your replacement fuse is missing, a new
one can be purchased at an electric appliance store. Be sure to use a fuse of
the same type and specification. See the product specification label for
details.
If electrical power is supplied and the lamp does not light, it may be time to
change the lamp. Follow directions below to do so.
1. Disconnect mains power supply. Loosen the two screws on the top
of the lamp cover. Open the cover.
2. With one hand holding the lamp reflector, pull down the lamp lever
(toward the base of the unit). The lamp will be pushed out of the
lamp base. Holding the lamp socket with one hand, pull the lamp
out of the lamp socket with the other.
3. Pull up the lamp lever (away from the unit base, toward the lamp
cover).
4. Follow directions for installing a new lamp.
