• Do not look at the fixture’s light output with optical instruments or any device that
may concentrate the light output.

• Make sure that persons near to or working on the fixture are not looking directly into
the light output when the fixture lights up suddenly. This can happen when power is
applied, when the fixture receives a DMX signal, or when certain control menu items
are selected.

• Provide well-lit conditions to reduce the pupil diameter of anyone working on or
near the fixture.

Strobe safety

• Flashing light, particularly at 5 - 30 Hz, may cause seizures in persons with
photosensitive epilepsy. Do not use strobe effects for extended periods.

• Comply with local regulations on the use of strobe lighting and notify the public in
advance with highly visible warning signs when strobe effects are used.

• If a seizure occurs, stop using strobe effects. Seek professional medical help. Note
the time that the seizure starts and finishes. Call emergency medical help urgently if
the seizure lasts more than five minutes, if it is the person’s first seizure, or if the person
is injured. While waiting for help to arrive, protect the affected person from injuring
themselves on hard or sharp objects. If necessary, move the person to a safe place.
Lay them on their side with their head supported to prevent it from hitting the floor.

Installation safety and protection from personal injury

• Installation must be performed by qualified personnel only and carried out in
accordance with applicable regulations such as DIN VDE 0711-217.

• The fixture is not portable when installed.

• Ensure that the supporting structure and installation hardware used can hold at least

ten times the weight of the load that they support.

• Fasten the fixture to a structure or surface only as directed in this manual and only
with hardware that is specifically designed and rated for its purpose. Do not use a
safety cable as the primary means of support. Check that installation hardware is in
perfect condition. Fasteners must be steel grade 8.8 strength or better. Rigging
clamps must be half-coupler type that completely encircle the rigging truss chord.

• If the fixture is installed in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls,
install as directed in this manual a safety cable or similar secondary attachment that
will hold the fixture if a primary attachment fails. The secondary attachment must be
approved by an official body such as TÜV as a safety attachment for the weight
that it secures, it must comply with EN 60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6, and it must be able
to support a static suspended load that is ten times the weight that it secures.

• If the fixture is installed in a location where it may be exposed to forces such as wind
pressure, vibration or movement, make sure that the installation can withstand these
forces. Monitor weather forecasts constantly. Take down the installation
immediately if there is any risk of weather conditions that could destabilize the
installation.

• Check that all covers and items of rigging hardware are secure before using the
fixture. Do not operate the fixture with missing or damaged covers, shields or any
optical component.

• Restrict access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever
installing, servicing or moving the fixture.

• If the fixture becomes damaged, stop using it immediately and disconnect it from
power. Do not attempt to use a fixture that is obviously damaged.

2. Avoiding damage to the fixture

Important! Follow the directions in this section carefully, or the fixture may suffer
damage that is not covered by the product warranty.

General precautions

Do not drop the fixture or expose it to mechanical stress.

Protect the LCD display and control panel from shocks, or they may suffer damage
that is not covered by the product warranty.

Do not expose the fixture to heat (from other lighting fixtures for example).

Clean optical components only as directed. Oils, solvents, and other chemicals
commonly used for cleaning can damage the lens coatings and surfaces.

Use only original spare parts. Do not make any structural modifications to the fixture or
you will void the product warranty.

Create loose cable bends only. Do not subject connectors to bending forces or allow
connectors to bear the weight of long lengths of cable.

Avoiding damage from light sources and heat

Do not point the front of the fixture towards the sun or other strong light sources. Strong
light can cause internal damage to the fixture, melting components or starting an
internal fire within seconds.

Figure 1. Avoiding damage from light sources

Damage can occur whether the fixture is powered on or off. See Figure 1. Damage
can also occur if the light hits the front of the fixture at an angle: the fixture does not
need to be pointing directly at the sun or other light source.

To avoid problems from strong light sources:

• Do not expose the front of the fixture to sunlight or any other strong light source.

• In outdoor applications during daylight, make sure that the front face of the fixture is

shielded or points away from the sun, even when not in use.

• Do not aim other high-powered beam lights directly at the fixture.

5. Installation

Warning! Read ‘Safety’ starting on page 4 for important safety information

that you must understand before you install or operate the fixture. Install FR
10 Bar fixtures only as described in this chapter, or you may create an
installation that is unsafe.

It is the installer’s responsibility to provide a stable, secure supporting
structure that is suitable for the environment and application and that
meets all applicable codes and legal requirements. Note the requirement
to secure lighting fixtures with safety cables in temporary installations.

Mounting options

An FR 10 Bar fixture may be installed in one of the following ways:

Standing horizontally on a horizontal surface.

Fastened to a rigging truss or similar structure at any angle using the supplied

brackets and two or more rigging clamps (optional accessories).

Securing the fixture with a safety cable

If a fixture can cause injury or damage if it falls you must secure it with at least one
secondary attachment such as a safety cable that will hold it if the primary means of
attachment fails. The safety cable must be approved for the weight that it secures. In
multiple installations, each fixture must have its own safety cable.

Figure 4. Safety cable attachment points

To secure an FR 10 Bar fixture with a safety cable:

Obtain a safety cable that is approved for the weight of the fixture and rigging

hardware that it will secure.

Impression FR10 Bar Quick Start and Safety Manual Rev. A

13

www.glp.de

Loop the cable around a secure anchoring point such as a truss chord or fixed

structure so that it will catch the fixture if a rigging clamp fails. Take up as much
slack as possible in the safety cable (by looping it more than once around the truss
chord, for example).

See Figure 4. Open one of the retractable safety cable attachment eyelets

(arrowed) in the sides of the fixture and fasten the safety cable to it.

If there is any danger that the fixture may swing dangerously from the safety cable

if a primary attachment fails, open the second retractable safety cable eyelet at
the other end of the fixture and add a second safety cable as described above,
fastening it to this second eyelet.

Check that the fixture is now secured.

End-to-end alignment

The FR10 features alignment pins that let you line up
fixtures perfectly end-to-end to create an unbroken
line of pixels. To use the alignment pins:

See Figure 5. The alignment pin release button is

located on the base of the fixture at the left­hand end when viewing the fixture from the
control panel side.

Slide the release button to the left to move the

alignment pins out of the fixture.

Engage the pins in the corresponding holes in

the right-hand end of the next fixture to line the
two fixtures. The pins are for alignment purposes
only, do not apply a load to them.

Standing an FR 10 Bar on a horizontal surface

To place an FR 10 Bar fixture standing
horizontally on a stable horizontal surface:

Stand the fixture on its feet as shown in

Figure 6. Make sure that it is safe and
secure, and that it will not present a
danger of tripping or falling.

If there is any danger of injury or

damage if the fixture falls from the
surface, secure it with a safety cable as
described in ‘Securing the fixture with a
safety cable’ on page 13.

Installing on a rigging truss or similar structure

You can suspend an FR 10 Bar fixture from a rigging truss or pipe using the brackets that
are supplied with the fixture and rigging clamps that are available from GLP as
optional accessories.

If you are going to install the fixture hanging vertically downwards from a horizontal
rigging truss or pipe, you can fasten it to the truss using G-clamps. If you are going to
install the fixture in any other orientation or if the rigging truss is not horizontal, you must
use half-coupler clamps that completely surround the truss chord or pipe. Rigging
clamps must be approved for the weight that they will support.

To install the FR 10 Bar on a rigging truss or pipe:

Check that the truss or pipe is secure and can safely hold ten times the weight that

it will support.

Using high-tensile steel screws or bolts and self-locking nuts, bolt at least one rigging

clamp to each of the two installation brackets that are supplied with the fixture.

See Figure 7. Fasten the two brackets A supplied with the fixture to the bottom of

the base using four quarter-turn fasteners B per bracket. Turn each fastener a full
90° to lock it.

Hold the fixture up to the truss and use the rigging clamps to fasten the fixture

securely onto the truss chord.

If there is any risk that the fixture will cause injury or damage if it falls, secure it with a

safety cable that is approved for the weight of the fixture, rigging hardware, cables
etc. as described in ‘Securing the fixture with a safety cable’ on page 13.

6. AC mains power

Warning! Read ‘Safety’ starting on page 4 for important safety information

that you must understand before you install or operate the fixture.

Check that all cables and connectors are suitable for the installation
environment and application (see recommendations in ‘Avoiding damage to the
fixture’ on page 9).

Use minimum 14 AWG or 1.5 mm2 power input and relay cables that are minimum 16
A-rated and temperature-rated to suit the application. In the USA and Canada the
cables must be UL-listed, type SJT or equivalent. In the EU the cables must be type
H05VV-F or equivalent.

Power cable

The FR 10 Bar is supplied with a power cord with a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connector
for AC mains power input.

Connecting to power

The AC mains power supply must include a connection to ground / protective earth. It
must be protected against ground / earth leakage and overload. The fixture’s internal
auto-sensing power supply accepts AC power at 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz. Do not connect
the fixture to power at any other voltage or to an external dimmer.

The FR 10 Bar does not have a power ON/OFF switch. Power is applied to the fixture as
soon as the power cable becomes live.

The FR 10 Bar has a 3-conductor Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 Mains IN power input socket
that accepts AC power from a TRUE1 female cable connector. Although TRUE1
connectors support hot-plugging, it is still good practice to shut down power to power
cables before connecting them to fixtures.

To connect the fixture to power:

If possible, shut down power to the power input cable.

Note the position of the keys and keyways on the TRUE1 power cable connector

and Mains IN socket and align them with each other carefully. Insert the cable
connector into the socket and twist clockwise to lock. Do not use force. If the
connector feels excessively stiff, remove it and check that it is lined up correctly.

Before applying power to the power cable, check that nobody is looking directly

into the front of the fixture and check that there is no risk of collision if the head tilts
without warning.

To disconnect the fixture from power, pull the latch on the cable connector outwards
to release it, then twist the connector counterclockwise and pull to remove it from the
socket.

Installing power connectors

If you intend to draw power from convenience receptacles / consumer mains power
sockets, it is possible to install a suitable cord cap / power plug on the supplied power
cord / input cable. If you do this, check that the cord cap / plug is rated minimum
250 V, 16 A, that it has a connection to ground / earth and that it has an integral cable
grip. Follow the cord cap / plug manufacturer’s assembly instructions.

If you need to install a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connector on a power cable, follow
the instructions given in the Support area of the Neutrik website at www.neutrik.com.

Respect the color coding used in the supplied power cable and in your local mains
power wiring system. US and EU systems use the color coding shown below:

Live or L Neutral or N

US system Black White Green

EU system Brown Blue Yellow/green

Ground / Earth or

Connecting multiple fixtures to power in a chain

You can connect fixtures to power in a daisy-chain to simplify your power circuit
layout.

Warning! Do not connect more than two (2) FR 10 Bar fixtures in total to

power in one chain at 100-120 V, 60 Hz. Do not connect more than four (4)

FR 10 Bar fixtures in total to power in one chain at 200-240 V, 50 Hz.

The power input cable supplied with the fixture is rated 16 A maximum. Add

together the maximum current draw ratings of all the devices that you
intend to connect to power in a daisy chain and do not create a chain with
a total maximum current draw of more than 16 A, or you will create a risk of
fire and electric shock.

To connect fixtures to power in a chain:

Obtain power relay cables that have male and female Neutrik powerCON TRUE1

connectors. Cables must be minimum 14 AWG or 1.5mm
suitable for the environment and application.

Connect the power input cable to the Mains IN socket of the first fixture.

If you are operating the FR10 Bar on 100-120 V, 60 Hz AC mains power, you can

connect maximum one FR10 Bar to the mains THRU socket (for a maximum of 2
fixtures total connected together in a chain) using a power relay cable. Do not
connect any devices to the Mains THRU socket of the second fixture.

7. Connecting to DMX data

Check that all cables and connectors are suitable for the installation environment and
application (see recommendations in ‘Avoiding damage to the fixture’ on page 9).

The FR 10 Bar supports USITT DMX 512A, Art-Net and sACN DMX control data signal
protocols. It also supports RDM (Remote Device Management).

Two types of data connection are available:

• Two 5-pin XLR connectors for IN and THRU connections on a DMX data link using

standard DMX protocol. We recommend the use of digital 110 Ohm DMX cable with
original Neutrik 5-pin XLR HD connectors if connecting to the XLR connectors.

• Two EtherCON sockets for IN and THRU connections on a DMX data link using Art-

Net or sACN protocol. You can use either socket for data IN or data THRU. Use CAT6
or better Ethernet cables for the data link if connecting to the Ethernet ports.

The EtherCON sockets use fail-safe technology that allows data through even if the
fixture is powered off.

If you would like advice with planning and installing a DMX link, your GLP supplier will
be happy to provide assistance.

8. Starting and stopping operation

Warning! Before you apply power to the fixture or operate it after a

blackout, make sure that nobody is looking directly into the front of the

fixture and that there is sufficient clearance for the head to tilt safely.

The FR 10 Bar’s TRUE1 mains power input connector supports hot-plugging, and
connecting and disconnecting a live power cable is an option, especially if you need
to shut down power urgently, but it is still good practice to shut down power to the AC
mains power circuit before connecting and disconnecting power cables.

To start operation, check that nobody is looking into the front of the fixture and that
there is no risk of collision of the head tilts without warning, then apply power to the AC
mains power circuit.

To stop operation, shut down power to the AC mains power circuit.

Transportation and storage

We strongly recommend that you transport the FR 10 Bar either in a flightcase or in its
original packaging to protect it from damage during transportation. The product

9. Service

Warning! There are no user-serviceable parts inside the fixture. Any service

operation that requires removal of a cover must be performed by a
professional service technician with the tools, skills, and personal
protective equipment to maintain high-powered lighting equipment safely
and efficiently.

Removing the front cover

The FR 10 Bar is supplied with a clear front cover
installed. It is possible to remove the front cover for
cleaning or to replace it with one of the custom front
covers available from GLP.

To remove the front cover:

Place the fixture on a work surface with the head

upright.

See Figure 8. Slide the two front cover quick-

release knobs (arrowed) down towards the base.

Keeping the release knobs held down, slide the

front cover out of the front of the fixture.

When replacing the front cover or installing a

diffuser, hold the release knobs down and slide the
front cover into the channels in the front of the
fixture. Release the knobs and check that the front
cover is prevented from sliding out of the channels.

Cleaning

FR 10 Bar fixtures require occasional cleaning to prevent the buildup of dust, dirt, and
residue from atmospheric effects. Failure to keep the fixture clean will significantly
reduce light output and may cause heat buildup and damage that is not covered by
the product warranty. Regular cleaning will ensure maximum performance and
reliable operation.

The cleaning schedule depends on the operating environment. Check fixtures
regularly for signs of dirt buildup.

You can clean the fixture using a soft cloth slightly dampened with a household or
automotive glass cleaning product. Do not apply pressure to the clear front or display
on the back of the fixture, as you may scratch these surfaces.
