specification label for information.
Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before changing lamps.

Set Up and Operation
Follow the directions below, as they pertain to your preferred operation mode.
Before plugging the unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification
voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 230V power, or vice versa.
Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before cleaning or servicing.
Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.
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:
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 Parcan 36 Pinspot 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 lightoutput very quickly.
Changing the Lamp
01) Disconnect mains power supply. Allow the fixture to cool for at least 15 minutes before handling and
replacing lamp.
02) Read lamp instructions.
03) Follow directions for installing a new lamp on page 8.
Troubleshooting
No Light
This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems.
If a problem occurs, follow the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit operates
properly, do not carry out the following steps.
If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.
Response: Suspect two potential problem areas: the power supply and the lamp.
01) Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.
02) The lamp. Replace the old lamp with a new one with the same specifications. See page 8 for
replacing the lamp.
03) If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.
04) If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not modify the Parcan 36 Pinspot, as
this may damage the unit and the warranty will become void.
05) Return the device to your Showtec dealer.
