Maintenance
The Showtec Titan Strobe 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 glass clean with glass cleaner and a
soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
The glass will require regular cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light-output
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.
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.
The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.
Changing the Lamp
1.
Disconnect mains power supply.
2.
Follow directions for installing a new lamp, page 6.
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 screwdriver into the 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.
3.
Remove the used 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.
