6.3 Software update
The Sparx 12 can be updated via a USB stick with micro-USB connection. To do this, copy the
file directly into the root directory of the USB stick. Then press and hold the right key below the
display and switch on the power. As soon as the message “Insert USB stick” appears on the
display you can release the key. Now plug in the USB stick on the back of the device below the
signal connections and follow the instructions on the display. The Sparx 12 completes the soft-
ware update with a reset. You will find the latest software on our homepage.
6.4 Testing of electrical equipment
According to the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) Regulation 3 / Regulation 4, elec-
trical systems and equipment must be subjected to regular inspections. The fixing screw of the
DMX 5-pin socket can be used as measuring point for insulation and residual current measure-
ment. The screw is connected to all sheet metal parts via a contact washer.

6.2 Cleaning the device
You should check the function of the fans in the head and foot at regular intervals. Above all,
make sure that the air intakes and the interior of the Sparx 12 are free of fluff and dust. Also make
sure that the dust filters in the covers are clean.
To do this, open the fan cover on the head (6x Phillips head screws with bayonet fastener) and
the base plate on the foot. You can now clean the Sparx 12 with a brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Also vacuum the dust protection mats in the lids. If the dust protection mats are no longer clean,
they must be replaced.
ATTENTION:
Disconnect the device from the mains and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes!
When looking directly into the light source, use welder’s goggles with weakening 4-5!
