Frequently Asked Questions - Skylos Claypaky
How do I replace the lamp in the Claypaky Skylos?
First, disconnect power and let the fixture cool for 30 minutes. Open the rear access panel using a Phillips screwdriver. Release the lamp clamp, carefully remove the old lamp, and insert the new 1200W HMI lamp without touching the glass. Re-clamp, close the panel, and reset the lamp timer via the control menu.
What is the recommended DMX configuration for the Skylos?
The Skylos supports 20 or 22 DMX channels. Set the DMX address using the control panel or RDM. For most applications, use 20-channel mode (mode 1) to control pan, tilt, color, gobo, zoom, dimmer, and strobe. Refer to the manual for complete channel assignments.
How often should I clean the air filters?
Clean the air filters every 250 hours of operation or more frequently in dusty environments. Use a vacuum or compressed air to remove dust. Clogged filters can cause overheating and reduce lamp life.
What safety precautions should I take when using the Skylos?
Always mount the fixture securely using rated clamps and safety cables. Ensure adequate ventilation and keep flammable materials at least 0.5 meters away. Never operate with a damaged lamp or cable. Disconnect power before servicing.
Why is my Skylos not responding to DMX?
Check the DMX cable connections and ensure the fixture address matches the controller. Verify that the DMX terminator is installed on the last fixture. Test with a known working cable. If using RDM, confirm the controller supports RDM for this model.
How do I perform a factory reset?
Press the Menu button on the control panel, navigate to 'System Settings', select 'Factory Reset', and confirm. The fixture will reboot with default settings. Note that this will erase custom DMX addresses and user settings.
What spare parts are available for the Skylos?
Common spare parts include the 1200W lamp, air filters, main motor assemblies (pan/tilt), color wheel, gobo wheel, zoom lens group, power supply unit, and control boards. Contact your Claypaky dealer for genuine parts.
Can I mount the Skylos on the floor?
Yes, the Skylos can be placed on a flat, stable surface using its adjustable feet. For permanent installation, use Omega brackets to bolt it to a truss or rigging frame. Always secure with a safety cable.
What is the lamp life expectancy?
The 1200W HMI lamp is rated for approximately 1000 hours of use. However, frequent on/off cycles can reduce lifespan. Replace the lamp when it appears blackened or dim, and reset the lamp timer after replacement.
How can I update the firmware on my Skylos?
Firmware updates are available from Claypaky's website. Download the latest version and connect your fixture to a PC using the USB-to-DMX interface. Use the Claypaky Firmware Uploader tool. Follow the on-screen instructions; do not power off during upload.
