nect the cable's shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield
conductor to come in contact with the XLR's outer casing. Grounding
the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.

used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic
behavior. A terminator is a 90-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con-
nected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and
DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last
unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator
(ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic
behavior.

First unplug the power. Locate and remove the unit's power cord.
Once the cord has been removed located the fuse holder located
inside the power socket. Insert a flat-head screw driver into the power
socket and gently pry out the fuse holder. Remove the bad fuse and
replace with a new one. The fuse holder has a built-in socket for a
spare fuse be sure not to confuse the spare fuse with active fuse.

internal and external optical lenses and mirror should be carried out
periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on
the environment in which the fixture operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue,
dust, dew). In heavy club use we recommend cleaning on a monthly
basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure longevity, and crisp output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the out-
side casing.
2. Use a brush to wipe down the cooling vents and fan grill.
3. Clean the external optics and mirror with glass cleaner and a soft
cloth every 20 days.
4. Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every

30-60 days.
5. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit
back in.

Trouble Shooting: Listed below are a few common problems that
you may encounter, with solutions.
No light output from the unit;
1. Be sure the external fuse has not blown. The fuse is located on
the rear panel of the unit.
2. Be sure the fuse holder is completely and properly seated.
