Maintenance

The operator has to make sure that safety-related 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-related 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:

01) All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and

must not be corroded.

02) There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.

03) Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.

04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.

The Mini Q-Strobe 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. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass cleaner and

a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.

The front lens will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light

output very quickly.

Please clean internal components once a year with a light brush and vacuum cleaner.

Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before supplying electric power.

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

operates properly, do not carry out following steps.

No Light

If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.

Suspect three potential problem areas as: the power supply, the lamp, the internal fuse.

01) Power supply. Check if the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.

02) The lamp. Return the Mini Q-Strobe to your Showtec dealer.

03) The internal fuse. Return the Mini Q-Strobe to your Showtec dealer.

04) If all appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.

05) If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the Mini Q-Strobe, as this may

damage the unit and the warranty will become void.

06) Return the device to your Showtec dealer.
