Maintenance

 

The Showtec LED-Foot 4 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. Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and 
then wipe the connections with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking 
equipment or supplying electric power. 

 

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.

operates properly, do not carry out following steps. 
If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician. 
Response: Suspect potential problem area: the power supply. 

1.

 

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

2.

 

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

3.
