Hydrogen DMX MKII 

Maintenance 

The Showtec Hydrogen DMX MKII requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit 

clean. Otherwise, the fixture’s light-output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power 

supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass 

cleaner and a soft cloth. 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. 

 

The operator has to make sure that the safety related and machine-technical installations are to be 

inspected 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: 

01)  All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and 

must not be corroded. 

02)  There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots. 

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

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

 

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 screwdriver into the slot in the fuse cover. Gently pry up the fuse cover. 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 cover. Be sure 

to use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details. 

 

Troubleshooting  

 

No Light 

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. 

If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician. 

Response: Suspect three potential problem areas: the power supply, the LEDs, the fuse. 

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

02)  The LEDs. Return the Hydrogen DMX MKII to your Showtec dealer. 

03)  The fuse. Replace the fuse. See above, 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 Hydrogen DMX MKII, as 

this may damage the unit and the warranty will become void. 

06)  Return the device to your Showtec dealer. 

 

No Response to DMX 

Response: Suspect the DMX cable or connectors, 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 controller or the light effect is at fault. Does the controller operate properly 

with other DMX products ? If not, take the controller in for repair. If so, take the DMX cable and the 

light effect to a qualified technician.
