Color 250D™ Cleaning
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and exter-
nal optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light
output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the
outside casing.
2. Use a brush to wipe down the fan grill.
3. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth
every 20 days.
4. Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth
every 30-60 days.
5. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging
the unit back in.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture
operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew).
Color 250D™ Trouble Shooting
Listed below are a few common problems the user may encounter,
with solutions.
No light from the unit:
1. Check if the (green) LED (on the back) is lit and the fan is
running.
2. Check the breaker in the back panel.
3. Check if lamp is lit. If power is present but the
lamp is not lit, the lamp may need to be replaced.
Unit not responding to DMX:
1. Check that the DMX cables are connected properly and are
wired correctly (pin 3 is “hot”; on some other DMX devices
pin 2 may be ‘hot’). Also, check that all cables are connected
to the right connectors; it does matter which way the inputs
and outputs are connected.
Unit does not respond to sound:

Halogen Lamp Warning
This fixture is fitted with halogen lamps which are
highly susceptible to damage if improperly handled.
Never touch the inside lamp with your bare fingers
as the oil from your hands will shorten lamp life.

ample time to cool. Remember, lamps are not cov-
ered under warranty conditions.

halogen bulbs.

Color 250D™ Breaker Reset
Breaker Reset:
This unit is equipped with a built-in safety breaker.
This breaker is designed to close the power circuit in the event of an
internal short or power surge. This will reduce the risk of electrical
shock or fire and protect the circuitry. To reset the breaker, push the
breaker button in until you hear it “pop” back in to place. If the break-
er continues to pop, stop using the unit and contact our customer
support team, the unit may need to be returned for service.
