Titan Strobe BLAZE
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 Titan Strobe BLAZE 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.
The cooling fans and the internal lenses should be cleaned monthly, with a soft brush.
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 and audio 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.
02)
Follow directions for installing the lamp, page 7.
DANGEROUS: Leave the device disconnected for 15 minutes, before opening.
Otherwise, you risk electrocution.
Replacing the Fuse
You do not have to replace the fuse on this device. The fuse is an automatic fuse. It means that in case
of a power surge, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply, you will only need to flip the
switch on the rear, and the strobe will function as before. You may want to check why the problem
occurred, so that you can prevent it in the future.
