Connection Cables

Take care of the connector cables, always holding them by the connectors and avoiding knots and

twists when coiling them: This gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability, which is always to

your advantage. Periodically check that your cables are in good condition, that they are correctly wired

and that all their contacts are perfectly efficient: a great number of problems are caused entirely by

using unsuitable or faulty cables.

Maintenance

The Calypso 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. Wipe the front glass panel clean with glass cleaner and a soft

cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents. The front glass panel will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid

tends to build up residues, reducing the light-output very quickly. Do not immerse in liquid.

Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX 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 safety-relating and machine-technical installations are to be

inspected by an expert after every year 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:

1. All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must

not be corroded.

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

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

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

Replacing a 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 to do

so.

1. Unplug the unit from electric power source.

2. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into a slot in the fuse cover. Turn the screwdriver to the left, at the same

time gently push a bit (Turn and Push). The fuse will come out.

3. Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out.

4. 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 LED and the fuse.

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

2. The LEDs. Return the Calypso to your Showtec dealer.

3. The fuse. Replace the fuse. See page 19 for replacing the face.

4. If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.

5. If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the Calypso, as this may

damage the unit and the warranty will become void.

6. Return the device to your Showtec dealer.
