Installation

Installing the Lamp

The Showtec Dance Cube uses the HMI 575 (ordercode 80901O, 80901P, 80901S) bulb as manufactured

by all popular manufacturers. Use only the appropriate lamp for your unit.

Note that, product versions that use other lamps, may be offered in the future. Check your product

specification label for information.

Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before changing lamps.

The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed due to the heat.

Do not install lamps with a higher wattage! Lamps with a higher wattage generate temperatures the

device was not designed for.

Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.

Procedure :

1. Loosen the 8 screws on the housing. Gently remove the metal housing.

2. Loosen the screw on top of the lamp and the power connection.

3. Loosen the 4 screws on the side of the housing.

4. Slide the glass cover to the right side.

5. Slide the rubber (6) and metal (7) cover to the right side.

8. Loosen the screw of the lamp and the power connection.

9. Carefully remove the old lamp. Read lamp instructions. Do not touch the lamp bulb glass.

Oil on hands shortens the lamp life. (If you touch the bulb glass, wipe off the glass with a clean, lint-free

towel and rubbing alcohol.). Insert the lamp (10).

6. Gently turn the screw to fasten the light bulb.

7. Now do the previous steps in reverse order.

Maintenance

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are to be

inspected by an expert after every four years in the course of an acceptance test.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating 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:

1. All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must

not be corroded.

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

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

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

The Showtec Dance Cube 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 glass clean with glass cleaner and

a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.

The cooling-fans and the internal lenses should be cleaned monthly with a soft brush.

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

Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX and audio connections

with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying

electric power.

2. Loosen the screw on top of the lamp and the power connection.

3. Loosen the 4 screws on the side of the housing.

4. Slide the glass cover to the right side.

5. Slide the rubber (6) and metal (7) cover to the right side.
