6- IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

6.1 Fire prevention:

-It is permissible to place the unit on normally flammable surfaces.
Suitable for mounting on normally flammable materials surfaces greater than 200°C
with some combustion time lag.

-Minimum distance from the closest illuminable surface: 0,5 m.

-Replace any blown or damaged fuses only with those of identical value (T 5A 250V).
Refer to the wiring diagram if there is any doubt.

-Connect the unit to mains power via a thermal magnetic circuit breaker.

6.2 Prevention of electric shock:

-High voltage is present inside the unit. Unplug the unit prior to performing any
function which involves touching the inside of the LED bar.

-The level of technology inherent in the KATANA requires the assistance of
specialised personnel for all servicing.
Please refer to an authorised DTS service centre.

-A good earth connection is essential for proper functioning of the unit.

-Never connect the unit without proper earth connection.

-The fixture should be located in places with a good air ventilation.

6.3 Safety:

CAUTION. Do not look directly into the light output. May be harmful to the eyes and
skin.

-Do not stare at the operating light source.

-The unit is not for household use and must be installed by a qualified electrician or
experienced person.

-The LED bar should always be installed with bolts, clamps and other tools that are
capable of supporting the weight of the unit.

-Always use a second safety cable to sustain the weight of the unit in case of the
failure of the main fixing point.

-The external surface of the unit, at various points, may exceed 50°C. Never handle
the unit until at least 5 minutes have elapsed since the LED bar was turned off.

-Never install the fixture in an enclosed area lacking sufficient air flow.
The ambient temperature should not exceed 40°C.

6.4 Level of protection against the penetration of solid and liquid objects:

-The projector is classified as an ordinary appliance and its protection level against the
penetration of solid and liquid objects is IP 20.

6.5 Waste Electrical and Electronic equipment (WEEE) directive:

-The machine, accessories and packaging should be sorted for environmetal-friendly

7- VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY

KATANA operates at 100-240Vac 50-60 Hz.

8- INSTALLATION

The unit is suitable for dry locations only.
KATANA may be either floor or ceiling mounted.
For floor mounting installations, KATANA is supplied with 2 brackets on the base with
rubber mounting feet.

For ceiling mounted installations, we recommend the use of appropriate clamps to fix
the unit to the mounting surface.
The supporting structure from which the unit is hung should be capable of bearing the
weight of the unit, as should any clamps used to hung it.
Four 1/4 turn Fast Locks connections placed in the base of the unit allow to hang the
KATANA by using the two Omega brackets (provided in the box) in conjuction with
fixing clamps for truss (clamps are not included into the unit box).
The Omega brackets can be installed on the unit even without remove the brackets
for ground installation fixed on the base of the unit.

8.1- Safety cable

A safety cable must be securely fixed to the KATANA and to the suspension truss in
order to avoid the fixture accidentally falling should the main fixing point fail.
Make sure that the safety cable can bear the weight of the entire unit.
A suitable safety cable (code 0521A010) is available on demand.
You may attach the safety cable to the attachment point (A) located on the base of the
fixture, as showed in the picture.
