Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Clean the casing as required using a soft cloth and a neutral detergent. Do not use strong solvents.

Troubleshooting:

• No power: Check that the mains voltage is correct, the outlet is switched on, and the IEC power lead is connected properly.
• No light output: Check control panel mode settings and DMX controller settings (dimmer levels, blackout).
• Unresponsive to DMX: Ensure the unit is in DMX mode, the 'A' on the display is flashing, the controller is not set to blackout, the correct fixture/page is selected, and the master dimmer is up. Check DMX connections and leads.
• Overheating/Cutting out: Ensure adequate ventilation and that the unit is not placed too close to a heat source.
