Maintenance 

The 

RGB Studio Beam Driver

 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.  
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. 

 

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 broken 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. 

 
 

Troubleshooting 

 

Showtec RGB Studio Beam Driver

 

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. 
If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician. 

1.

 If the device does not operate properly, unplug the device. 

2.

 Check the fuse, power from the wall, all cables etc. 

3.

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

 

4.

 If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the RGB Studio Beam Driver, as  

    This may damage the unit and the warranty will become void. 

5. 

Return the device to your Showtec dealer.
