1.1 Safety Instructions

The IIMMPPRREESSSSIIOONN XX44 BBaarr 1100 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.

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. -- Danger of BURNING --

6. Never look directly into the beam of light or into one of the LEDs.
Never use optical apertures to observe the beam of light. LED Class 2M.
You'll risk serious injury of your eyes and in particular of your retina.

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!

7. To ensure safe operation, follow also the Installation guide described in the
chapter below. Operating the IIMMPPRREESSSSIIOONN XX44 BBaarr 1100 without suitable
safety aids like Safety cables or clamps/hooks can increase the risk of an
accident and must be avoided.

8. 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.

9. Use only original GLP spare parts. Any structural modification of the
system will terminate all warranty claims.

10. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.

2 Preparation and Installation

2.1 Safety Information

The IIMMPPRREESSSSIIOONN XX44 BBaarr 1100 fixture from GLP is fitted with a number of plano­convex 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.

contact your local GLP office, or their authorized distributor, a list of which can
be found at http://www.glp.de.

2.2 Mounting

The IIMMPPRREESSSSIIOONN XX44 BBaarr 1100 is fully operational whether it hangs or is mounted

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 BBaarr 1100 (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.
