Maintenance

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are to be inspected by an expert after every four years 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:

01) All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded.
02) There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.
03) Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.
04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.

The PAR 20 Warm-On-Dim 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.

Troubleshooting

No Light

This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems.

If a problem occurs, follow the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit operates properly, do not carry out the following steps.

If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.

Suspect two potential problem areas: the power supply and the LED.

01) Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.
02) The LED. Return the PAR 20 to your Showtec dealer.
03) If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.
04) If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not modify the PAR 20, as this may damage the unit and the warranty will become void.
05) Return the device to your Showtec dealer.
