Polar 340 WashFX IP65 Moving Head
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 Polar 340 WashFX IP 65 Moving Head 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.
Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe all connections with a damp cloth.
Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power.
Replacing the 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.
01)
Unplug the unit from electric power source.
02) Insert a flat-headed screwdriver into the slot in the fuse cover. Turn the screwdriver to the left, at the
same time gently push a bit. The fuse will come out.
03) Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out.
04) Insert the replacement fuse into the holder where the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse holder. Be sure
to use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details.
Draining Condensation Water
The Polar WashFX IP65 Moving Head is designed to resist water and moisture. If the device is exposed to
extreme humid conditions during servicing, condensation may form inside the device. This can happen
also during transportation, if the device is exposed to extreme temperature variations.
In case condensation occurs on the inside of the lens, proceed as follows:
01)
Carefully remove the M12 GORE
®
valve and the water drainage plug with a wrench.

02) Let the device operate with all LEDs at full output for 60 minutes.
03) Let the device cool down for 30 minutes.
04) Replace the M12 GORE
®
valve and the water drainage plug. Make sure you do not overtighten
them.
