Cleaning
Fixture Cleaning: Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning
the external lenses should be carried out periodically to optimize light
output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the out-
side casing.
2. Microphone - This microphone receives external low frequencies
to trigger the unit in Sound-Active mode. This microphone is designed
to receive low frequency sounds only, tapping on the microphone and
high pitch sounds may not trigger the unit.
2. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every
20 days.
3. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture
operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy use we rec-
ommend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure
longevity, and crisp beam output.
3. Power Cord Connection - This connection is used to supply main
power to the fixture. Use only the supplied I.E.C. power cord. Be sure
the main power matches the required power of your fixture. The rated
power requirements are clearly marked on the rear panel of the unit.
4. Fuse Holder - This housing stores the 2 amp GMA protective
fuse. Always replace with the exact same type fuse, unless otherwise
instructed, by an authorized American DJ®
