Stage Blinder 8 DMX 

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 Stage Blinder 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 lamps clean with glass cleaner 
and a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents. 
The lamps will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light 
output very quickly. 
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 connections with a damp 
cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power. 
 

Changing the Lamp

 

01)

 

Disconnect mains power supply. Loosen the 2 screws on the back of the housing. 

02)

 

Follow directions for installing a new lamp, page 8. 

 

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-head screwdriver into a slot in the fuse cover. Turn the screwdriver to the left, at the same 
time gently push a bit (Turn and Push). 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 cover. Be sure to 
use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details.
