by an expert after every four years in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating 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:

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. 

Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.

4. 

The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.

The Showtec Aura 4 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 and audio connections with a
damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power.

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 flat-head screwdriver into a slot in the fuse cover. Gently pry up the fuse cover. 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.
