The
IMPRESSION X4 Bar 20
is a High-Tech Product. To
guarantee a smooth operation, it is necessary to respect the
following rules. The manufacturer of this device will not take
responsibility for damages through any disregard of the
information provided in this manual. Warranty claims also will be
voided in the case that the fixture housing is opened.
Never look directly into the beam of light or into one of the
LEDs. Attention: LED Class 2M can cause injuries of your eyes
even without optical instruments in front of them or within a
distance of less than 0.5m and short exposure time.
Hence: Avoid direct radiation into your eyes!
WARNING:
Never let optical parts come in contact with alcohol,
solvents or similar cleaners.
2 Safety Instructions
1. Before powering on the fixture, make sure that the fixtures fans and air inlets
are clean and not blocked.
2. Ensure that the fixture head can rotate unhindered throughout its complete
range of pan and tilt movement. A safety distance of at least 0.5 m must be
maintained between the fixture and any easily inflammable material (e.g.
decoration material).
3. Attention! Don’t touch the fixture during the operation. This can cause injuries
and/or damages.
4. The fixture doesn’t contain any user serviceable parts. Opening the fixture
will void all warranties.
5. It is necessary to wait at least 15 minutes after disconnecting the mains power
before handling the fixture. Pay attention to possible hot parts of the fixture.
6. To ensure safe operation, follow also the Installation guide described in the
chapter below. Operating the IMPRESSION X4 Bar 20 without suitable safety
aids like Safety cables or clamps/hooks can increase the risk of an accident and
must be avoided.
7. Repair, maintenance, and installation work shall be done by qualified or GLP
certified staff only. You need to pay attention to the common rules of technology
that are not explicitly mentioned in this manual.
8. Use only original GLP spare parts. Any structural modification of the system will
9. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.

terminate all warranty claims.

Important Safety Information
The IMPRESSION X4 Bar 20 fixture from GLP is fitted with a number of plano-convex
lenses in a highly efficient collimator cluster. This type of lens can act as a strong
magnifying glass.
If the rays from a strong light source (such as the sun or another lighting fixture) are
directed towards the front of any of these fixtures, then internal damage may occur.
In a worst case scenario with a high power light source this can happen very quickly,
damaging the fixture internally, potentially melting components or causing an internal
fire within seconds.
In order to avoid these possible problems please adhere to the following
requirements:
Do not expose the front of a fixture to direct sunlight or any other strong light
sources.
For outdoor applications during daylight make sure that the front face of any
fixture is either shielded or points away from the sun, even when fixtures are
not in use.
Do not modify the front glass or lenses of any fixture.
These requirements have to be followed regardless of whether a fixture is powered
on or off as the magnifying effect is an optical effect and therefore independent from
the (electrical) state of the fixture.
Especially when working with high powered beam-lights; extreme caution and
observance of these safety instructions is mandatory.
Should you have any questions about the operation of your fixture then please contact
your local GLP office, or their authorized distributor, a list of which can be found at
www.glp.de.

3 Mounting
The
IMPRESSION X4 Bar 20
is fully operational whether it hangs or is mounted to
the wall. It can also be operated while standing on the floor. Keep a safety distance
of min. 0.5 m towards any easily inflammable materials (decoration etc.).
For the various mounting positions of the IMPRESSION X4 Bar 20 (standing on the
floor, sideways or hanging) different accessories kits are available. Through this a
safe and firm installation is assured. You'll find dedicated connectors on the bottom
side of the fixture which should be used.

3.1.1 Operating on the Floor (Upright)
The IMPRESSION X4 Bar 20 is fitted with 4 rubber feet. Additional securing is usually
not required when placed on a surface that is level and not slippery.
3.1.2 Mounting in hanging or sideways position
To operate the IMPRESSION X4 Bar 20 in a hanging position please use the two (2)
dedicated brackets supplied with your fixture. They are fixed to the base of the fixture
with fasteners called Camlock quick-release connectors. Insert the four fasteners of
each and turn each 90° to lock them. Do the opposite to release them again.
3.2 Securing the Fixture
Regardless of the mounting method of the IMPRESSION X4 Bar 20 you'll have to
use a stipulated safety wire.
Attach the safety wire through the two attachment points shown below and connect it
to the primary support structure.
The safety attachment points can be deployed by simply swinging them out from the
base.
Pay attention to a safe and proper fastening. The safety cable must comply with BGI
810-3 (EN 60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6) and be capable of bearing a static suspended
load that is ten times the weight of the fixture and all installed accessories.
3.3 Alignment of the Fixtures
For precise and easy alignment of multiple fixtures the IMPRESSION X4 Bar 20 is
equipped with alignment pins on the side.
To deploy them, simply slide them to the side and insert the pins in the related holes
of the next fixture.
Push the knob down to slide the pins in again after every usage to avoid any damage
or injuries that could be caused by them.
