2 Safety Precautions
The
X4 Atom
is powerful lighting equipment intended for use by
experienced lighting professionals. Read this manual before
installation or use. For safe and trouble-free operation, install and
use only as directed.
The manufacturer will take no responsibility for damages caused by
disregard for the information in this manual. Warranty claims will be
invalidated if any piece of the product casing has been removed.
Attention: Class 2M LED. Brief exposure can cause eye injury
within a distance of 0.5 m (20 in.), even without optical instruments.
Never look directly into the beam of light or into the LED.
Avoid exposing your eyes to direct radiation!
The X4 ATOM
is fitted with a planoconvex lens that focuses and
concentrates light just like a
magnifying glass. Direct sunlight
and other bright light sources can
cause internal damage to the fixture. With a high-power light
source, this can happen quickly, potentially melting components or
starting an internal fire within seconds.
Potentially hazardous light concentration can occur whether fixtures
are powered on or off. To avoid problems, observe the following
precautions at all times:
Never 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 lens of any fixture.
Especially when working with high powered beam lights, extreme
caution and observance of these safety instructions is mandatory.
Also note the following requirements to ensure safe operation.
1. Before powering up the lights, ensure that fans and air vents are clean and
unobstructed.
2. Maintain a minimum distance of 0.5 m (20 in.) between lighting heads and any
flammable object.
3. Hot surfaces! Avoid touching lights during the operation. This can cause injuries
and/or damage.

4. The PSU and lighting head contain no user-serviceable parts. Opening the PSU or
lighting head will void all warranties.
5. Wait at least 15 minutes after turning the system off to handle lighting heads. Handle
carefully and be aware that some surfaces may be extremely hot.
6. Install X4 ATOM system components as directed below with suitable clamps and
other hardware including safety cables. Avoid placing lighting heads in locations
where there is risk of accidental contact.
7. Repair, maintenance and installation work shall be performed only by GLP- certified
technicians or other qualified lighting professionals. These operations require
common trade knowledge that is not explicitly provided in this manual.
8. Use only original spare parts. Any structural modification on the system will
terminate all warranty claims.
9. Keep this user manual for future reference.
Should you have any questions about the safe operation of your X4 ATOM, please
contact your local GLP office, or their authorized distributor, a list of which can be found
at www.glp.de.

Installation shall be performed by qualified personnel only, in
accordance with applicable regulations such as BGV C1 and DIN
VDE 0711-217.
3.1 X4 ATOM Heads
With an IP 65 rating, the X4 ATOM heads are suitable for outdoor use. (The PSU
however must be installed in a dry location.) Heads may be rigged in any orientation or
placed on a level surface. When installing, keep the lighting head at least 0.5 m (20 in.)
from flammable materials including curtains and stage scenery.
Accessories are available to mount the X4 ATOM in a range of configurations. These
fasten quickly and securely to the ATOM connectors.

Attaching the Yoke Bracket / Floor Stand
The yoke bracket / floor stand snaps on to the
connector sockets on the outside of the head.
To attach to a bracket to an X4 ATOM head,
slide the bracket forwards onto two connector
sockets until the bracket locks in place.
To release the bracket, push the lock pins on
both sides of the bracket an slide backwards.
Operating on the Floor (Upright)
The
X4 ATOM
can be placed upright on a floor
or other level surface using the included yoke
bracket/floor stand unfolded as shown to right.
Attach the bracket as described above. Loosen
the tilt lock screw, spread the inner and outer
brackets, tilt the head to the desired angle, and
tighten the tilt lock screw.
Hanging a single head
Heads can be rigged individually on a truss
using a suitable rigging clamp fastened to the
yoke bracket/floor stand as shown. Loosen the
tilt lock screw to adjust tilt angle. Secondary
attachment is also required.
