Truss Booster RDM 1-6 

Maintenance 

The Showtec Truss Booster RDM 1-6 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. Do not use alcohol or solvents. 
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. 
 

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-headed 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 holder. Be sure 
to use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details. 

 
 

Troubleshooting 

 

No Light 

If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician. 
Suspect three potential problem areas as: the power supply, the distributor, the fuse. 
01)

 

Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply. 

02)

 

The distributor. Return the Truss Booster to your Showtec dealer. 

03)

 

The fuse. Replace the fuse. See page 12 for replacing the fuse. 

04)

 

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

05)

 

If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the Truss Booster, as this may 
damage the unit and the warranty will become void. 

06)

 

Return the device to your Showtec dealer. 

 

No Response to DMX 

Suspect the DMX cable or connectors, a distributor malfunction, a controller malfunction, a light effect 
DMX card malfunction. 
01)

 

Check the DMX setting. Make sure that DMX addresses are correct. 

02)

 

Check the DMX cable: Unplug the unit; change the DMX cable; then reconnect to electrical power. 
Try your DMX control again. 

03)

 

Determine whether the distributor, controller or light effect is at fault. If the distributor or controller 
does not operate properly, take the distributor or controller in for repair. Otherwise, take the DMX 
cable and the light effect to a qualified technician.
