Rover™ Operation

Rover™ Cleaning

General Operation:

This fixture is designed to operate as a stand alone unit, there is no
need of a controller. It has been tested and lamped at the factory there
is no assembly necessary. The Rover™ is ready to be plugged in, out
of the box. There is no power switch. After plugging the unit if there is
no lamp output check the fuse and bulb, sometimes during shipping
the fuse and bulb become loose. If the fuse and bulb are good, please
return the unit for servicing. After plugging this fixture in, the units’
barrel mirror will spin back and forth. The Rover™ features a multi-color
dichroic dish that will also rotate. This fixture features a light weight
case design and a hanging bracket. This unit can be operated in three
different modes. This fixture is designed for mobile DJ’s, clubs, bands,
roller rinks and any arena that requires a compact, light weight, easy
to use fixture.

Operating Modes:

This unit comes with a 3-way multi-operating switch located on the rear
of the unit. The switch controls three (3) different operating modes;
Static, Sound Active, and Continuous Rotation. When the switch is
in the "I" position the internal dichroic dish spin continuously and the
barrel mirror will react to sound, via its internal microphone. When the
unit is in the "0" position the internal dichroic dish is static (does not
rotate) and the barrel mirror will react to sound. When the switch is
in the "II" position the unit's internal dichroic color wheel and barrel
mirror will react to sound.

Fixture Cleaning:

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and external
optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light output.

1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the
outside casing.

2. Use a brush to wipe down the fan grill.

3. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft
cloth every 20 days.

4. Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth
every 30-60 days.

5. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging
the unit back in.

Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture
operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy club use we
recommend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure
longevity, and crisp output.

Fuse Replacement:

Disconnect from the main power supply. Insert a standard flat head
screw driver in to the fuse holder housing as illustrated in figure two.
Turn the screwdriver in counter-clockwise direction to remove the fuse
holder. Remove the old fuse and discard it, replace the fuse with the
same type. Insert the fuse back into it’s housing.

If you continue to blow fuses, STOP using the unit. Returning the unit
for servicing. Continuing to use the unit may cause serious damage.
