• Installation

Make sure all parts for fixing the projector are in a good state of repair.
Make sure the point of anchorage is stable before positioning the projector.
The safety chain must be properly hooked onto the fitting and secured to the framework, so that, if the primary
support system fails, the fitting falls as little as possible.
If the safety chain gets used, it needs to be replaced with a genuine spare.

• Minimum distance of illuminated objects

The projector needs to be positioned so that the objects hit by the beam of light are at least 7.5 metres (24’ 7”) from
the lens of the projector.

• Minimum distance from flammable materials

The projector must be positioned so that any flammable materials are at least 0.20 metres (8”) from every point on

he surface of the fitting.

against dripping water, rain, splashes or jets of water (second digit 0).

SAFETY INFORMATION

tc150°C

• Protection against electrical shock

Connection must be made to a power supply system fitted with efficient earthing (Class I appliance according to
standard EN 60598-1). It is, moreover, recommended to protect the supply lines of the projectors from indirect
contact and/or shorting to earth by using appropriately sized residual current devices.

• Connection to mains supply

Connection to the electricity mains must be carried out by a qualified electrical installer.
Check that the mains frequency and voltage correspond to those for which the projector is designed as given on the
electrical data label.
This label also gives the input power to which you need to refer to evaluate the maximum number of fittings to
connect to the electricity line, in order to avoid overloading.
IMPORTANT: to prevent EMI disturbances, in some condition it might be necessary to clip around the DMX and the
Ethernet cable, as close as possible to the projector, an appropriate ferrite bead. Shielded cables must always be used.

• Temperature of the external surface

The maximum temperature that can be reached on the external surface of the fitting, in a thermally steady state, is
150°C (302°F).

• Maintenance

Before starting any maintenance work or cleaning the projector, cut off power from the mains supply.
After switching off, do not remove any parts of the fitting for at least 10 minutes. After this time the likelihood of
the lamp exploding is virtually nill. If it is necessary to replace the lamp, wait for another 20 minutes to avoid
getting burnt.
The fitting is designed to hold in any splinters produced by a lamp exploding. The lenses must be mounted and, if
visibly damaged, they have to be replaced with genuine spares.

tc150°C

• Protezione contro la scossa elettrica

È obbligatorio effettuare il collegamento ad un impianto di alimentazione dotato di un’efficiente messa a terra
(apparecchio di Classe I secondo la norma EN 60598-1).
Si raccomanda, inoltre, di proteggere le linee di alimentazione dei proiettori dai contatti indiretti e/o cortocircuiti
verso massa tramite l’uso di interruttori differenziali opportunamente dimensionati.

• Collegamento alla rete di alimentazione

Le operazioni di collegamento alla rete di distribuzione dell’energia elettrica devono essere effettuate da un
installatore elettrico qualificato. Verificare che frequenza e tensione della rete corrispondano alla frequenza ed alla
tensione per cui il proiettore è predisposto ed indicate sulla targhetta dei dati elettrici. Sulla medesima targhetta è
pure indicata la potenza assorbita. Fare riferimento a quest’ultima per valutare il numero massimo di apparecchi da
collegare alla linea elettrica, al fine di evitare sovraccarichi.
IMPORTANTE: per evitare l'insorgere di interferenze elettromagnetiche, in alcune situazioni può rendersi
necessario avvolgere attorno al cavo DMX ed al cavo Ethernet, il più possibile vicino al proiettore, una ferrite
appropriata. Usare sempre cavi schermati.

• Temperatura della superficie esterna

La temperatura massima raggiungibile sulla superficie esterna dell’apparecchio, in condizioni di regime termico, è

Cleaning the Fresnel lens

Only use neutral soap and
water to clean the Fresnel
lens, then dry it carefully with
a soft, non-abrasive cloth.

Parts requiring frequent cleaning.

Periodical cleaning

To ensure optimal operation and performance for a long time it is essential to periodically clean the parts subject to dust and grease deposits. The
frequency with which the following operations are to be carried out depends on various factors, such as the amount of the effects and the quality of the
working environment (air humidity, presence of dust, salinity, etc.).
Use a soft cloth dampened with any detergent liquid for cleaning glass to remove the dirt from the reflectors and filters. It is recommended that the
projector undergoes an annual service by a qualified technician for special maintenance involving at least the following operations:

• General cleaning of internal parts.

• Restoring lubrication of all parts subject to friction, using lubricants specifically supplied by Clay Paky.

• General visual check of the internal components, cabling, mechanical parts, etc.

• Electrical, photometric and functional checks; eventual repairs.
