• Installation

Make sure all the 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 rope, properly hooked onto the fitting and secured to the framework, must
be installed so that, if the primary support system fails, the fitting falls as little as
possible. If the safety rope 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

2.5 metres from the lens of the projector.

•Minimum distance of flammable materials

The projector must be positioned so that any flammable materials are at least

0.1m (4”) from every point on the surface of the fitting.

SAFETY INFORMATION

INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL

Carefully read this instructions manual in its entirety and keep it safe for future
reference.

It is essential to know the information and comply with the instructions given
in this manual in order to ensure the fitting is installed, used and serviced
correctly and safely.

CLAY PAKY S.p.A. disclaims all liability for damage to the fitting or to other
property or persons deriving from installation, use and maintenance that have
not been carried out in conformity with this instructions manual, which must
always accompany the fitting.

CLAY PAKY S.p.A. reserves the right to modify the characteristics stated in
this instructions manual at any time and without prior notice.

Congratulations on choosing a Clay Paky product! We thank you for your
custom. Please note that this product, as all the others in the rich Clay Paky
range, has been designed and made with total quality to ensure excellent
performance and best meet your expectations and requirements.

• Maximum ambient temperature

For the fitting to operate well and reliably, the ambient temperature should not
exceed 35°C (95°F).

•IP20 protection rating

The fitting is protected against penetration by solid bodies of over 12mm (0.5”) in
diameter (first digit 2), but not against dripping water, rain, splashes or jets of water
(second digit 0).

• Protection against electrical shock

This fitting is classified in accordance with the type of protection against electrical
shock, in Class I. It must therefore be connected to a power supply system with
efficient earthing.
It is however recommended to protect the supply lines of the projectors from indirect
contact and/or shorting to earth by using appropriately sized residual current
devices.

• Connecting to the supply mains

Connection to the electricity mains must be carried out by a qualified electrical
installer.
Check that the mains frequency and voltage correspond to the frequency and
voltage stated on the electrical data label for which the projector is designed.
This label also gives the input power. Refer to this to evaluate the maximum number
of fittings to connect to the electricity supply in order to avoid overloading.

• 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 10 minutes.
After this time the likelihood of the lamp exploding is virtually null. If it is necessary to
replace the lamp, wait for another 15 minutes to avoid getting burnt.
The fitting is designed to hold in any splinters produced by a lamp exploding.
The lenses must be fitted and, if visibly damaged, they have to be replaced with
genuine spares.

• 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 90°C (194°F).

• Lamp

The projector mounts a high-pressure lamp that needs an external igniter.
This igniter is fitted onto the projector.

- Carefully read the "operating instructions" provided by the lamp manufacturer.

- Immediately replace the lamp if damaged or deformed by heat.

It is permissible to mount the fitting on normally flammable surfaces.

The products referred to in this manual conform to the
