Maintenance

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.

The Showtec Matrix Blinder 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. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass cleaner and

a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.

The front lens will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light-

output very quickly. The cooling-fans should be cleaned monthly with a soft brush.

Please clean internal components once a year with a light brush and vacuum cleaner.

Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX and audio connections

with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying

electric power.

Changing the Lamp

1. Disconnect mains power supply. Loosen the 2 screws on the front of the housing where the lamp is

damaged/broken.

2. Gently remove the small metal front plate.

3. Follow directions for installing a new lamp, page 7.

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.
