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 Spectral D4000 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. 

Troubleshooting 

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

1.

 If the device does not operate properly, unplug the device.
