2 Safety Instructions

The IMPRESSION X4 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 IMPRESSION X4 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 IMPRESSION X4 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.

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 IMPRESSION X4 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 IMPRESSION X4 (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.

3.1Mounting on the Floor (Upright)

To operate the IMPRESSION X4 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.

3.2Mounting in hanging position

To operate the IMPRESSION X4 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.

3.3Mounting in sideways Position

To operate the IMPRESSION X4 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.
