Oby-5 can be set on the flat stage floor directly or use clamp to mount on
any kinds of trusses for fitting the mobility of various venues.
Mount two attached brackets(a) on the bottom (See Figure ), and
collocate the appropriate clamps(b) to rig with trusses. Must use the
safety ropes that can hold the ten times as heavy as the fixture through
the eye bolts(c) on the bottom of the base and trusses; then join the
safety ropes with screw-on carabines(d).

Instructions for gobo replacement
Please choose the suitable gobo dimensions of this fixture. (Appendix A)
3.Push GOBO & the spring ring out with the
fingers carefully. (*Caution: Avoid falling
the spring ring into the fixture.)
2.Turn the open (circle) of the GOBO wheel to
"U" shape gap in order to extract the rotating
GOBO easily.
Rotating GOBO wheel
1.Open the top cover (*Refer to the steps of lamp installation.), and
loosen the screws with appropriate tools then extract A . (See the
figures below.)
4.Insert the new GOBO and the spring ring (*Press the spring ring
tight with the appropriate tools in order to keep GOBO compact),
put A back and screw up the top cover.
Fixed GOBO wheel
The instructions are the same as changing the rotating GOBO; only
winkle the spring ring out with appropriate flat screw driver before
push GOBO out.
DANGER!
Install the gobos with the device switched
off only. Unplug from mains before!

Maintenance
Refer maintenance to qualified technicians. Please disconnect power
and signal wire before maintaining fixtures.
In order to preserve OBY-5 in good condition, keep the routine
maintenance by following date.
The Steps are as follows:
Take the filter out (See Figure.) and clean it every two weeks.
The dichroic colour-filters, the metal gobo-wheel, the internal lenses
and cooling fans should be cleaned with soft brush monthly.
The interior of the fixture should be cleaned at least half-yearly using
a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet.
Caution: Be careful not to damage the interior mechanical structures
or circuits when using the air-jet.
To ensure a proper function and smooth rotation of the gobo-wheel,
we recommend lubrication in six-month intervals.
Caution: Avoid the damage of interior structures when fixtures
rotated, do not use excess lubrication.
Due to emit fog frequently, the optical lens and gobos would be oily;
thus luminosity would be weak. We recommend using moist cloth or a
trace of detergents to wipe them every two weeks. (Prohibit using the
detergents consisted of alcohol and solvents.)

Replacing the Fuse
If the fixture does not function, that may be the fuse was burned out. It
may be time to replace the fuse of same type and specification for
eliminating this fault.
Remove the electric power and flip the switch to " off " position before
replacing the fuse.
Replace the fuse as follows:
Step 1: Unscrew the screw of the fuse holder on the housing
counterclockwise with appropriate tools.
Step 2: Remove the broken fuse and then replace the new fuse.
Step 3: Reinsert and tighten the screw on the fuse-holder.
Step 4: Turn the power on for test.
Please contact with the dealer if the fixture still cannot work or the fuse
burns out again.
