  • Page 35: Maintenance And Cleaning

    Dimensions (mm) Accessories Omega holder (No.99010420)........2 pcs 10. Maintenance and cleaning It is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and that dust, dirt and smoke-fluid residues must not build up on or within the fixture. Otherwise, the fixture‘s light-output will be significantly reduced. Regular cleaning will not only ensure the maximum light-output, but will also allow the fixture to function reliably throughout its life.

  • Page 36: Changelog

    The front objective lens will require weekly cleaning as smoke-fluid tends to building up residues, reducing the light-output very quickly. The cooling-fans should be cleaned monthly. The interior of the fixture should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet. Dichroic colour filters and gobo wheels and the internal lenses should be cleaned monthly.
