2 Safety Instructions

The IIMMPPRREESSSSIIOONN XX44 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.

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 IIMMPPRREESSSSIIOONN XX44 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 terminate all warranty claims.

9. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.

Important Safety Information

The IIMMPPRREESSSSIIOONN XX44 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 bbeeaamm--lliigghhttss; extreme caution and
observance of these safety instructions is mandatory.

Warning:

This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause
radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate
measures.

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 IIMMPPRREESSSSIIOONN XX44 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.).

Pay attention to the regulations of: BGV C1 (former VBG 70)

and DIN VDE 0711-217.

The installation shall be done by qualified staff only.

For the various mounting positions of the IIMMPPRREESSSSIIOONN XX44 (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. In addition the base is marked
with a FRONT arrow allowing consistent orientation during installation.

3.1 Mounting on the Floor (Upright)

To operate the IIMMPPRREESSSSIIOONN XX44 in an upright position, please use the
dedicated tri-legged floor stand supplied with your fixture. It is fixed to
the base of the fixture with fasteners called Camlock quick-release
connectors. Insert the two fasteners and turn each 90° to lock them. Do
the opposite to release them again. On both sides you'll find eyelets to
pull though a fixing strap. This allows for additional bracing of the fixture.

3.2 Mounting in hanging position

GLP  German Light Products GmbH

To operate the IIMMPPRREESSSSIIOONN XX44 in a hanging position please use a half­coupler (clamp). This can be mounted directly to the bottom side of the
fixture. It should be attached centrically with a M10x16 mm thread bolt.

Attention: Never use a longer bolt as this may damage the interior
of the fixture.

3.3 Mounting in sideways Position

To operate the

in a sideways position please use an
additional mounting bar. This is fixed by two Camlock quick-release
connectors. Two half-couplers (clamps) are used to mount the bar to a
standard truss bar. This technique is necessary to cope with the torque
which accrues in this mounting position. In addition it allows a re­positioning of the couplers to fit between two truss chords. Never use the
"Mounting in hanging position" technique described above to fasten the
fixture in the sideways position. A safe and sound installation can not be
assured in this way. In addition this can damage the fixture base.
