Service And Maintenance; Cleaning - Martin Tripix 300 User Manual

Service and maintenance

Warning! Read "Safety Information" on page 3 before carrying out
service or maintenance work on the Tripix system. Lock out power
to the entire distribution system and allow fixtures to cool before
servicing or opening any cover.
Important! Opening the fixture by anybody else but a Martin
Distributor may damage the IP66 seal and will void the warranty!
Important! The Tripix system requires regular service and
maintenance to maintain reliable operation and protect the
investment it represents. Excessive dirt and particle build-up
degrades performance, causes overheating and will damage Tripix
fixtures and power supply devices. Damage caused by inadequate
cleaning or maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.
The service and maintenance procedures described in this section
must be carried out by qualified professionals only. Any service
procedures not described in this section must be carried out by the
Martin Service organization or its authorized agents.
It is Martin policy to use the best quality materials available to ensure
optimum performance and the longest possible component lifetimes.
However, optical components in all lighting fixtures are subject to wear
and tear over the life of the Tripix fixture, resulting in gradual changes
in color rendition, for example. The extent of wear and tear depends
heavily on operating conditions and environment, so it is impossible to
specify precise lifetimes for optical components.

Cleaning

Warning! Do not use a high-pressure water jet for cleaning.
Regular cleaning is essential for fixture life and performance. Build up
of dust and dirt degrades the fixture's light output and cooling ability.
Cleaning schedules will vary greatly depending on the operating
environment. It is therefore impossible to specify precise cleaning
intervals for the Tripix system. Inspect fixtures within their first few
weeks 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 Martin
dealer about a suitable maintenance schedule.
