1.1 Safety Instructions

The VVOOLLKKSSLLIICCHHTT is an advanced technology product. To
guarantee smooth operation, it is necessary to follow the
following instructions.

The manufacturer of this device will not take responsibility of
damages through any disregard of the information in this user
manual. Warranty claims will also be cancelled in the event of
the system casing being opened.

If the external cable of this lighting is damaged, it should be
replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a qualified
person, to avoid danger.

1. Make sure that before powering up the fixture, the fans and air inlets are
clean and not blocked by anything.

2. Before powering up the fixture, ensure that the moving head part of the
fixture can rotate unhindered through its full range of movement.

3. A safety distance of at least 0.5 m to any easily flammable material (e.g.
decoration material) must be adhered to.

4. Attention! Don’t touch the device during operation. Parts of the fixture can
become hot and can cause injuries and / or damages.

5. The system doesn’t contain any user serviceable parts. Opening the fixture
will void the manufacturers warranty.

6. Danger of burning. Wait at least 15 minutes after disconnecting the AC
power before changing the optical carrier on the fixture. Pay attention to
possible hot parts of the system.

7. Never look directly into the beam of light or one of the LEDs. Never use
optical apertures with a distance less than 0.5 m to observe the beam of
light. LED Class 2M. Not following these precautions can result in serious
injury to your eyes and in particular, your retina.

8.

Attention: LED Class 2M can cause inju

ries of your eyes even

without optical instruments in front of them or within a distance
of less than 0.5m and short exposure time.

Avoid direct radiation to your eyes!

9. To ensure proper operation, you must also follow the installation guide
described in chapter 2 of this manual. Operating the VVOOLLKKSSLLIICCHHTT without
suitable mounting devices can increase the risk of an accident.

10. The VVOOLLKKSSLLIICCHHTT features a unique small and lightweight design with no
specific carrying handles. Care needs to be shown when handling the
fixture to ensure that no unnecessary damage should occur. Fragile areas
include the LCD display and cover on one side arm and the front bezel.
Pressure in these areas could result in damages which will not be covered
by the standard warranty.

11. Repair-, maintenance- and installation work should only be performed by
qualified or GLP certified staff. You need to pay attention to the common
rules of technology that are not explicit mentioned in this manual.

12. Use only original spare parts. Any structural modification on the system will
terminate all warranty claims.

13. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.

2 Preparation and Installation

2.1 Mounting

The VVOOLLKKSSLLIICCHHTT is fully operational whether it hangs or is mounted to a wall.
It can also be operated while standing on the floor. Keep a safety distance of

0.5 m from 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 VVOOLLKKSSLLIICCHHTT (standing on the floor,
sideways or hanging) different accessories kits are available. Using any
required kits, along with the standard mounting connectors on the base of the
fixture, will ensure a safe and firm installation.

2.1.1 Mounting on the floor (upright)

The VVOOLLKKSSLLIICCHHTT is equipped with four robust rubber feet. This allows
a firm and safe stand on even surfaces.

2.1.2 Mounting in hanging position (Head down)

To operate the VVOOLLKKSSLLIICCHHTT in an hanging position, please use a half­coupler (clamp) which is mounted directly onto the bottom side of the
system. It is fixed centrically with a M10 thread bolt (max. length 11 mm).

3x M10

(max. length 11mm)

2.1.3 Mounting in a sideway Position

To operate the VVOOLLKKSSLLIICCHHTT in a sidewise position, please use two
half-couplers (clamps) which are mounted directly onto the bottom side
of the system. They are fixed with two M10 thread bolts (max. length 11
mm).

This technique is necessary to cope with the torque which accrues in this
mounting position. In addition it allows a concentrically position between

two truss belts. Never use the "Mounting in hanging position" technique
described above to secure the fixture in a sideway position, as the
fixtures base can become damaged, and a secure installation cannot be
assured.

2.2 Securing the Device

Regardless of the mounting method of the VVOOLLKKSSLLIICCHHTT you'll have to use a
secondary safety wire. This safety wire can be attached to the fixture by
threading it through one of the two holes provided on the base of the fixture.
Ensure that the safety wire is securely fastened through the fixture and the
fixtures mounting support. Install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times
the weight of the fixture.

2.3 Connections

2.3.1 Power Supply

~100-240 Volt AC, 50-60 Hz, earth contact type plug, via Powercon
Connected load 180 VA (W) <=> T2A (micro-fuse 5x20mm)
Please see printing on the case for the right electronic supply!

Disconnect from the mains supply for changing the fuse and use
only the above described micro-fuse type.

2.3.2 DMX

USITT DMX-512 Standard input/output in 3 pole connectors.
3 pole: Pin 1 = [Ground] / Pin 2 = [-] / Pin 3 = [+]
The DMX- Addressing starts at the DMX- Address [001].

The Rainbow-effect will run synchronously only if it is started from one of the predefined colors (see

also 1) before).

Attention: Please note that shutter frequencies over 10 Hz are prohibited in some countries.
Especially frequencies in the range of 5 - 12 Hz can possibly cause epileptic seizures  continuous
blink irritation with a latency period of min. 70 ms. Please also refer to the relevant legislation of each
country (For Germany for example: BGI 810-4 (Anhang 2) "Sicherheit bei Produktionen und
Veranstaltungen - Scheinwerfer").

Maintaining and Cleaning the VVOOLLKKSSLLIICCHHTT

The VVOOLLKKSSLLIICCHHTT is a low maintenance fixture. It is only necessary to clean the air
inlets and outlets as well as the optical LED lenses from time to time. For safe
operation it is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and that dust, dirt and
smoke-fluid residues must not build up on, or within, the fixture. If they do, the
fixture's light output will be significantly reduced, and damages to the fixture may
occur. Regular cleaning will not only ensure the maximum light output, but will also
allow the fixture to operate reliably throughout its entire life.

A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning fluid is recom­mended. Under no circumstances should alcohol or solvents be used to clean
the fixture or its lenses!

5.1 Safety regulations

• Disconnect the fixture from the mains power before commencing any

maintenance work!

• Wait minimum 15 minutes after removing the power to allow the fixture to
cool down.

5.2 Circumference and Interval (rule-of-thumb)

The contamination of the fixture depends on the environment details. Hence no
general guidelines can be given. The intervals given below are only suggestions
from our practice experience.

Maintenance Task Interval How

Cleaning of LED lenses and

optical system

weekly soft brush /lint-free cloth

Cleaning of fans and air channels monthly vacuum cleaner, airbrush, etc.

Attention:

• Never let optical parts come into contact with oil or fat.

• Before running the fixture wait until all parts are touch dry.

• Never touch lenses with bare fingers.
