Maintenance; Cleaning - Martin PAR 2 RGBW Zoom User Manual

Maintenance

Read 'Safety information' on page 4 before servicing the
fixture.
Refer any service operation not described in this user manual
to a qualified service technician.
Disconnect the fixture from mains power and allow to cool
completely before cleaning or servicing.
Service fixtures in an area where there is no risk of injury from
falling parts, tools or other materials.
Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particle buildup degrades performance,
causes overheating and will damage the fixture. Damage caused by
inadequate cleaning or maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.

Cleaning

The cleaning of external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning schedules for lighting fixtures vary greatly
depending on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible to specify
precise cleaning intervals for the fixture. Environmental factors that may
result in a need for frequent cleaning include:
•
Use of smoke or fog machines.
•
High airflow rates (near air conditioning vents, for example).
•
Presence of cigarette smoke.
•
Airborne dust (from stage effects, building structures and fittings or the
natural environment at outdoor events, for example).
If one or more of these factors is present, inspect fixtures within their first
100 hours of operation to see whether cleaning is necessary. Check again at
frequent intervals. This procedure will allow you to assess cleaning
requirements in your particular situation. If in doubt, consult your RUSH by
Martin dealer about a suitable maintenance schedule.
Use gentle pressure only when cleaning, and work in a clean, well-lit area.
Do not use any product that contains solvents or abrasives, as these can
cause surface damage.
To clean the fixture:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 15
minutes.
2. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles from the outside of
the fixture and the air vents with low-pressure compressed air.
