Maintenance

Installing and replacing the lamp

DANGER: Risk of death from electrical current!

• The device contains parts where high voltage is present.
• Disconnect the device completely from the power supply before opening or removing covers. Do not reconnect the unit until the covers are fully refitted and tightly closed.
• Do not use the device if covers, safety equipment or optical components are missing or damaged.

WARNING: Risk of eye damage caused by high light intensity!

• The light source used in this device produces visible and invisible light beams of high intensity. Looking directly into the light source can damage the eyes.
• Never operate the device without a fully installed cover.
• Never look directly into the light source.

WARNING: Danger of burns on the device surface and inside the device

• The device surface and interior get very hot during operation. Skin contact can result in burns.
• Wait at least 15 minutes after switching off the device before starting any maintenance work.
• Before touching any parts inside the device, always ensure that all surfaces have cooled down sufficiently.

NOTICE: Possible damage due to dirt or fingerprints on the glass bulb!

• Even the slightest contamination of the glass bulb can destroy the lamp when it is switched on due to the high temperature.
• Never touch the lamp directly with your fingers. Always use clean gloves or a clean cloth made of lint-free material.

NOTICE: Damage to the device due to the use of incorrect illuminants!

• Any attempt to operate the unit with a light source other than that specified in this manual may result in serious damage to the device.
• Only use only light sources of the type specified.

Notes on the light source

The light source in this device is a two-pin capped metal vapour discharge lamp. For suitable replacement light sources (type designation depending on manufacturer, for example Sirius HRI 280W 7800K), go to www.thomann.de. Observe the safety instructions of the light source manufacturer.

Procedure

1. Make sure that the device is turned off, disconnected from the mains and completely cooled down.
2. Move the head of the device in a horizontal position.
3. Open the housing by unscrewing the four cross-head screws on the top of the device, which are marked “A” in the figure above, and remove the upper part of the housing.
4. Carefully remove the old light source.
5. Carefully insert the new light source in the lamp socket and check that it fits securely.
6. Put the top of the device back on and attach it with the four corresponding cross-head screws.
7. Reconnect the device to the mains.

Cleaning

Optical lenses

Clean the optical lenses, that are accessible from the outside, regularly in order to optimize the light output. The frequency of cleaning depends on the operating environment: wet, smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause more accumulation of dirt on the optics of the device.

• Clean with a soft cloth using our lamp and lens cleaner (item no. 280122).
• Always dry the parts carefully.

Fan grids

The fan grids of the device must be cleaned of any contamination, such as dust, etc. on a regular basis. Before cleaning, switch off the device and disconnect mains-operated devices from the mains. Only use pH-neutral, solvent-free and non-abrasive cleaning agents. Clean the unit with a slightly damp lint-free cloth.

Troubleshooting

NOTICE: Data transfer errors due to improper wiring!

• If the DMX connections are wired incorrectly, this can cause errors during the data transfer.
• Do not connect the DMX input and output to audio devices, e.g. mixers or amplifiers.
• Use special DMX cables for the wiring instead of normal microphone cables.

In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation.

We give you some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:

connection and main fuse.
No response to the DMX controller| 1. The “DMX” LED should be on. If this is not the case, check that the DMX connectors and cables are properly connected.
2. If the “DMX” LED lights up and there is no response, check the address settings and the DMX polarity.
3. Try using another DMX controller.
4. Check whether the DMX cables run near or parallel to high-voltage cables that may cause damage or interference to a DMX interface circuit.

If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service Center. You can find the contact information at www.thomann.de.
