FX Drop 

Operation 

Follow the directions below, as they pertain to your preferred operation mode. 
Before plugging the unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification 
voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120 V specification product on 230 V power, or vice versa. 
 

Without a Switch Pack 

If you are not using a switch pack to control the FX Drop, you can connect the FX Drop directly to a 
power outlet using a power cable. The release system will be automatically activated when the FX Drop 
is powered. The drop hook will open and will release the object. 
 

 

When the FX Drop is powered, it will release the suspended object immediately. 

 

With a Switch Pack 

If you are using a switch pack to control the FX Drop, follow the instructions of the user manual supplied 
with the switch pack. Switch on the power to activate the release system. 
 
Note: Make sure that the power remains turned on for more than 1 s. 
 

Releasing Suspended Objects Manually 

If you want to reposition the object, you can release the drop hook (03) manually. Push the release pin 
(06)
 upwards to open the drop hook (03). The object will be released. 
 
 

Maintenance 

Inspect all parts and mounting points of the FX Drop before use. Do not use if parts are weakened, 
discolored, brittle, or otherwise degraded, damaged, or worn. 
 
The FX Drop requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean. Disconnect the 
mains power supply, and then wipe the device 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 connections with a damp cloth. 
Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power. 
 
 

Troubleshooting 

This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems.  
If a problem occurs, carry out the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit 
operates properly, do not carry out following steps. 
 
The FX Drop does not drop the object when power is supplied: 
01)

 

Check if power is switched on and cables are plugged in. 

02)

 

Check whether the load is not heavier than 20 kg.  

03)

 

Supply the FX Drop with power for a longer period. 

 
If none of the above works or if you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the 
FX Drop, as this may damage the unit and the warranty will become void. Return the fixture to your 
Showtec dealer. 
The unit does not contain user-serviceable parts.
