Sunstrip II Stageblinder
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 Sunstrip II Stageblinder 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 the DMX and audio connections
with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying
electric power.
Troubleshooting
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.
No Light
If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.
Suspect two potential problem areas as: the power supply, the bulb.
01)
Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.
02)
The bulb. Replace the old bulb with a new one with the same specifications. See page 7 for
replacing the bulb.
03)
If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.
04)
If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the Sunstrip II Stageblinder, as
this may damage the unit and the warranty will become void.
05)
Return the device to your Showtec dealer.
