1.1 Safety Instructions

The VVOOLLKKSSLLIICCHHTT SSPPOOTT 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. 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 --

5. Use only one DMX Input / Output at the same time.

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
chapter 2. Operating the VVOOLLKKSSLLIICCHHTT SSPPOOTT 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 Mounting

The VVOOLLKKSSLLIICCHHTT SSPPOOTT 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),

DIN VDE 0711-217 and BGI 810-3.

The installation shall be done by qualified staff only.

For the various mounting positions of the VVOOLLKKSSLLIICCHHTT SSPPOOTT (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 SSPPOOTT 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 SSPPOOTT in an hanging position, please
attach one half-coupler centrically with a M10 thread bolt (max. length 11
mm). You can also use a dedicated mounting plate which is attached to
the fixture through two Camlock quick connectors  see section below.

2-Camlock

M10
length max.11mm

2.1.3 Mounting in a sideway Position

To operate the VVOOLLKKSSLLIICCHHTT SSPPOOTT in a sidewise position, please use
the dedicated mounting plate which is attached to the fixture two
Camlock quick connectors.

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 SSPPOOTT you'll have to
use a stipulated safety wire. Swipe it through one of the two handles of the
fixture and connect it to the primary support structure. Pay attention to a safe
and proper fastening. The safety cable must comply with BGI 810-3 (EN 60598­2-17 Section 17.6.6) and be capable of bearing a static suspended load that is
ten times the weight of the fixture and all installed accessories.

2.3 Connections

2.3.1 Power Supply

~100-240 Volt AC, 50-60 Hz, earth contact type plug, via Powercon
Connected load 400 VA (W) <=> T5A (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 NEUTRIK® powerCON

The VVOOLLKKSSLLIICCHHTT SSPPOOTT is fitted with NEUTRIK

®

powerCON locking 3
conductor AC connectors. Up to max. 11 fixtures can be linked via the
power outlets staying within the power limits of the 20A of the
connectors.

Note: Regional regulations and
limits might be lower and differ
from that.
