CAUTION!
Unplug mains lead before opening the housing!
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE READ THIS USER MANUAL CAREFULLY
BEFORE YOU INITIAL START - UP!
1. Safety instructions
Every person involved with installation and maintenance of this device have to:

Never let the power-cord come into contact with other cables! Handle the power-cord and all connections with mains with particular caution!
Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated on the rear panel. Always plug in the power plug last. The power-plug has to be accessible after installing the device.
Make sure that the power cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Check the device and the power cord from time to time.
Always disconnect from the mains when the device is not in use or before cleaning it. Only handle the power-
-cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power-cord.
The electric connection, repairs and servicing must be carried out by a qualied employee.

2. Operating and structural requirements
2.1 Operating determinations
Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device. NEVER place the xture on
the ground with the LED – side down.
When carrying the xture, always use the fork connectors at the sides. They work well as handles. Don’t grab the xture by the diffusor.
Make sure that the area below the installation place is blocked when rigging, derigging or servicing the x-
ture.

Only operate the xture after having checked that the housing is rmly closed and all screws are tightly faste­ned.
Operate the device only after having familiarized with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not
qualied for operating the device. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation!
Please use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
Please consider that unauthorized modications on the device are forbidden due to safety reasons!
If this device will be operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the product may suffer damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to dangers like short-
circuit, burns, electric shock, burns due to ultraviolet radiation, lamp explosion, crash etc.
2.2 Structural requirements
Structural Requirements to StageQube and Accessories (BlindQube– Without LEDs, BlindQube-Expo,
StageQube- Floor Unit)
The modules are adequately capable of bearing loads, if the following conditions are observed: In general: taper pins, property class 5.6.
after driving in of the taper pins, they shall be xed with cotter pins.
2.2.1.0 StageQube, BlindQube Without LEDs, BlindQube- Expo, StageQube- Floor Unit
2.2.1.1 Unsupported Type Combined with StageQube- Floor Unit (max. 5 modules)
- diagonal tubes as sectional tubes RR RR 50x2 AlMgSi 0,5 F22.
- In case of possible impact with a person, a ballast with a weight of 150 kg shall be placed between the bottom ends of each gap of the erected system.
- In case impacts can be excluded, ballast with a weight of 20 kg are required.
2.2.1.2 Suspended Type (max. 12 modules)
- the annular lug must have been approved to bear loads of 350 kg by the manufacturer.
- all suspension points shall be designed for load actions of 1.74 kN.
- dynamic lifting forces and downward motions as a result of elastic materials shall be considered for the suspension points.
2.2.2.0 BlindQube-Mediaadapter
2.2.2.1 Suspended Type (Without Abutment)
BGVC1 (for passenger trafc) max. 3 modules DIN 4113 (without passenger trafc) max. 6 modules
- the annular lug must have been approved to bear loads of 330 kg by the manufacturer.
- all suspension points shall be designed for load actions of 1.65 kN.
- dynamic lifting forces and downward motions as a result of elastic materials shall be considered for the suspension points.
- max. 45 kg at each Qube at a distance of 47 cm.
- this requires exact static calculation

2.2.2.2 Vertical Suspended Type with Abutment
- the annular lug must have been approved to bear loads of 330 kg by the manufacturer.
- all suspension points shall be designed for load actions of 1.65 kN.
- dynamic lifting forces and downward motions as a result of elastic materials shall be considered for the suspension points.
- max. 45 kg at each cube at a distance of 47 cm.
- depending on the number of blind cubes, a certain number of stage cubes will be approved.
(see diagram)
- the max. quantity mainly depends on the weight of the moving lights.
reduced loads will allow for higher quantities.
This requires exact static calculation.
