be plugged in, out of the box. There is no power switch, after

plugging the unit if there is no lamp output check the fuse and

bulb. If the fuse and bulb are good, please return the unit for

servicing. After plugging this fixture in, the units X-axis mirror

dichroic dish that will also rotate. This fixture features a light

the thumb screw and pull back the front case housing. The hous-

ing is hinged which allows it to pull back without being removed.

the new lamp, be sure to follow all the installation guide lines

that are included with your new lamp. Close the front cover and

replace the thumb screw.

Fixture Cleaning:

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and

external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to

optimize light output.

1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the

outside casing.

2. Use a brush to wipe down the fan grill.

3. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft

cloth every 20 days.

4. Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth

every 30-60 days.

5. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging

the unit back in.

Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the

fixture operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy

club use we recommend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic

cleaning will ensure longevity, and crisp output.

Fuse Replacement:

Disconnect from the main power supply. Insert a standard flat

head screw driver in to the fuse holder housing as illustrated in

figure two. Turn the screwdriver in counter-clockwise direction

to remove the fuse holder. Remove the old fuse and discard it,

replace the fuse with the same type. Insert the fuse back into

it’s housing.

If you continue to blow fuses, STOP using the unit. Returning the

unit for servicing. Continuing to use the unit may cause serious

damage.

Caution: Always replace with the exact same type lamp and

fuse, unless otherwise specified by an authorized American DJ®

technician.
