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 move‐
ment 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.

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).
The flashing ‘DMX’ LED indicates an incoming DMX signal.
