2 Safety instructions
This device is intended to be used as moving-head spotlight. The device is designed
for professional use and is not suitable for use in households. Use the device only as
described in this user manual. Any other use or use under other operating conditions
is considered to be improper and may result in personal injury or property damage.
No liability will be assumed for damages resulting from improper use.
This device may be used only by persons with sufficient physical, sensorial, and intellectual abilities and having corresponding knowledge and experience. Other persons
may use this device only if they are supervised or instructed by a person who is
responsible for their safety.
DANGER!
Danger for children
Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and
are not within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard!
Ensure that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. knobs or the
like) from the unit. They could swallow the pieces and choke!
Never let children unattended use electrical devices.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by high voltages inside
Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present.
Never remove any covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Do not use the device if covers, protectors or optical components are
missing or damaged.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord)
with a protective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the
plug. Failure to do so could result in electric shock/death or fire. If in
doubt, seek advice from a registered electrician.
WARNING!
Eye damage caused by high light intensity
Never look directly into the light source.

WARNING!
Risk of epileptic shock
Strobe lighting can trigger seizures in photosensitive epilepsy. Sensitive
persons should avoid looking at strobe lights.
WARNING!
Risk of injury by falling off
Make sure that the installation complies with the standards and rules
that apply in your country. Always secure the device with a secondary
safety attachment, such as a safety cable or a safety chain.
The carrying capacity of the truss or other mounting must be sufficient
for the intended number of devices. Note that the movement of the
head may additionally stress the load-bearing structures.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to movements of the device
The head of the device can move quickly (pan, tilt) and can produce
very bright light. This is also valid immediately after you turn on the
device, when the device operates in automatic mode or under remote
control and when you turn off a DMX controller that is connected to the
device. Persons staying near the device could be injured or frightened.
Before you turn on the device and during the operation, always ensure
that nobody stays close to the device. If work has to be performed in the
area of movement or in the near vicinity of the device, it must remain
turned off.
NOTICE!
Risk of fire
Do not cover the device nor any ventilation slots. Do not place the
device near any direct heat source. Keep the device away from naked
flames.
NOTICE!
Operating conditions
This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage,
never expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid direct sunlight,
heavy dirt, and strong vibrations.

NOTICE!
Power supply
Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet)
matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result
in damage to the device and possibly injure the user.
Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused
for long periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or
your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively.
Lift the device only at the base. When lifted at the rotatable mounting, the device
may be damaged.
You can install the device standing or hanging. When in use, the device must be
mounted at a solid surface or clamped to an approved truss.
Work from a stable platform whenever you install or move the device or when you
perform any kind of maintenance. Block access under the work area.
WARNING!
Risk of injury by falling off
Make sure that the installation complies with the standards and rules
that apply in your country. Always secure the device with a secondary
safety attachment, such as a safety cable or a safety chain.
The carrying capacity of the truss or other mounting must be sufficient
for the intended number of devices. Note that the movement of the
head may additionally stress the load-bearing structures.

NOTICE!
Possible damage caused by movements of the device
Always ensure that enough space is free around the device for the
movements of the head (pan, tilt).
NOTICE!
Possible data transmission errors
For error-free operation make use of dedicated DMX cables and do not
use ordinary microphone cables.
Never connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as mixers
or amplifiers.
Please note that this device must not be connected to a dimmer.
The quick lock openings on the housing bottom are used for secure attachment of
Omega brackets. To these, the flight adapters (half coupler, trigger clamps, C-hooks,
etc.) are attached. The safety cable must be threaded through the cut-outs on the
bottom or the carrying handles.

5 Starting up
Establish all connections as long as the unit is switched off. Use the shortest possible
high-quality cables for all connections.
Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or
another DMX device. Connect the output of the first DMX device to the input of the
second one, and so on to form a daisy chain. Always ensure that the output of the
last DMX device in the daisy chain is terminated with a resistor (110 Ω, ¼ W).
When you configure a group of devices in master/slave mode, the first unit will control the other units for an automatic, sound-activated, synchronized show. This function is ideal when you want to start a show immediately. Connect the DMX output of
the master device to the DMX input of the first slave device. Then connect the DMX
output of the first slave device to the DMX input of the second slave device and so
on.
