Maintenance
Make sure fixture is cool and disconnected from power mains before any service.
Weekly operating hours and environmental conditions will establish how often the fixtures need
cleaning. Fixtures should be cleaned and inspected at least once a month to maintain optimum
performance. Accumulation of dust and fog residue increases heat build up, can lead to
malfunctions, overheating and reduction in maximum light output, reduced fixture life and over
all performance. Before conducting any maintenance, disconnect fixture from power mains.
1) Disconnect fixture from power mains.
2) Use a vacuum with a soft brush to remove dust collected on external vents and internal
components. If using an air compressor, use low pressures and extreme care to
prevent damaging any internal parts or effects.
4) Clean all optical elements when the fixture is cold. Use a soft lint free cotton cloth or tissue
and cleaner safe for plastics.
5) Inspect clamps and safety cables to ensure fixture is secure and safe.
Troubleshooting
Diagnostic technique for DMX issues: Set suspect fixture’s Start Address the same as a correctly
functioning fixture. If both units then function correctly, issue is programming.
