ULTRAPAR UP1000

1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! With the BEHRINGER ULTRAPAR UP1000 you purchased a first-class Par spotlight
mounted in a compact, extremely robust and durable casing and featuring a comprehensive range
of accessories.

1.1 Before you begin

Your ULTRAPAR was carefully packed in the factory and the packaging is designed to protect the
unit from rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging
and its contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have occurred during transit.

+ If the unit is damaged, please do not return it to BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer

and the shipping company immediately, otherwise claims for damage or replacement
may not be granted. Shipping claims must be made by the consignee.

1.2 Mains connection

Prior to the initial operation of the spotlight UP1000, a mains plug must be attached to the power
cord. Please use a commercially available shockproof plug with a minimum power rating of 2.5 A
(220 / 240 V). The wires of the connecting cable are clearly marked according to their function.

The spotlight can be operated from a power supply of max. 120 V / 5 A or
240 V / 2.5 A. The mains frequency must be 50 / 60 Hz.

+ Please note that your ULTRAPAR spotlight must be grounded properly. For your own

safety, you should not remove or defeat the ground connection of the spotlight or
power cord.

+ Make sure that the spotlight will be installed by qualified personnel only. Proper

grounding of the installer must be ensured both during and after installation of the
spotlight, otherwise electrostatic discharge or similar effects might impair the
performance of your UP1000.

2. HPL LAMP

Your ULTRAPAR spotlight should be equipped exclusively with recommended HPL halogen lamps
made by GE Lighting: Use the models GKV 600 W/230 V (item # 35376) or 575 W/115 V (item #

47665). Make sure that the HPL lamp matches the supply voltage provided in the location in which
the spotlight is operated.

+ If a lamp other than those recommended by BEHRINGER is used, your ULTRAPAR

may not work in compliance with CE safety standards, which will void your warranty.
Additionally, this spotlight might infringe a patent.

+ If the HPL lamp is operated with a voltage surpassing its nominal operating voltage,

it can be damaged/destroyed or its service life reduced considerably.
