14. Maintenance
DANGER !
Do not do maintenance in a damp environment (e.g. rain, snowfall)!
Always disconnect the xture from mains before starting any maintenance work.
In order to ensure the xture remains in good condition and does not fail prematurely, we recommend regular
maintenance.
The following points have to be considered during xture inspection:
- All outside covers and screws should be checked for damages, scratches or corrosion.
- All connectors and its rubber caps should be checked for damages or sediments.
- All screws and fasteners has to be securely tightened. Check for any deformation on the housing and
rigging points. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the xture to fall and seriously
injure people.
-Electric power supply cable must not show any damage or material fatigue.
-Fans and heatsink should be checked for sediments or dirt/debris accumulation.
User can do the folloving operations:
- Gobo replacement
- Frost replacement
- LEDs module replacement
- Silica gel desiccants replacement
- Main fuse replacement
- Battery replacement
- Lubrication of internal parts of the xture
Another maintenance and service operations should be carried out by trained technician only. If you need any
spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local Robe distributor.
In case of problem with smooth running of CMY colour mixing system, lubricate sliding bars of CMY ags. As
lubricant we recommend ÄRONIX silicone oil 500 cSt - it is a medium viscosity lubricant, release agent, high
temperature oil.
Fixture metal covers are made of material resistant to corrosion, potential damages of covers (like scratches,
abrasions) are only appearance defects and will not cause corrosion of covers.
To repair small damages of xture metal covers (e.g. scratches), you can use a paint intended for non-rusting
metal surfaces (like aluminium, copper…). The paint can be applied to surface by means of a small brush or
by spraying.
Use the paint with the same colour and sheen as has your cover. The paint can perform as undercoat or top-
coat, it doesn´t matter.
Do not remove xture covers in smoky or particularly dirty
environment (e.g. with fog machines).
IMPORTANT The xture head should be uncovered as short time as possible (about 1-2 hours depending on
air humidity) otherwise silica gel in small boxes in the xture head may become damp.
If you have removed head cover and you need to interrupt your work for longer time (hours, days),we
recommend to place the head cover on the head and fasten it provisionally by means of two screws, next
possibility is unscrewing small boxes with silica gel from the head and put it to a sealed container with limited
access of air (e.g. sealed plastic bag).
The same rule should be kept for silica gel desiccants in the xture base in case of service intervention
(at removing bottom base cover).
Replacing the fuse.
Before replacing the fuse, disconnect the xture from mains.
1. Using a at-blade screwdriver, unscrew (anti-clockwise) the metal cover of the fuse compartment from the rear panel
of the base.
2. Unscrew the fuse holder (anti-clockwise) and remove the blown fuse from the fuse holder.
3. Place a good fuse (only the same type and rating) into the fuse holder and screw the fuseholder back.
4. Screw the metal cover of the fuse compartment back to the r ear panel, use a tightening torque 2.5Nm.
