determining the installation material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked
regularly. Do not attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper
installation may result in injuries.
• Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable
norms.
• The construction to which the device is attached should be able to support 10 times the weight of the
device for one hour without deformation.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.
• Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a qualified
technician check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.

d) general
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 50cm radius of the device and there is sufficient
cooling.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electrical connection.
• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. All fixtures must be powered directly off a
grounded switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or
dimmer channel is used solely for 0% to 100% switch.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.
• Insert the plug into the mains outlet.
• Set the mode switch [4] to I (AUTO-RUN) to use the stroboscope in manual mode: light intensity is set by
control [6], strobe speed is set by control [7].
• Set the mode switch [4] to II (SOUND) to use the stroboscope in sound controlled mode: sound sensitivity is
set by control [5]; light intensity is set by control [6].
Using a remote controller (not incl., e.g. VDL1500RCN)
• Plug the connector of the remote control cable (not incl.) into the input jack [8] of the VDL1500ST.
• Set the mode switch [4] to II (SOUND) and rotate the sound sensitivity control [5] fully anticlockwise to
avoid that the VDL1500ST reacts to sound.
• Switch on the remote controller and control the strobe speed using the knob on the remote.
Connecting multiple VDL1500STs
• If you want to connect multiple VDL1500STs, plug one side of the connection cable wit h 6.35mm TRS
stereo connectors (not incl.) in the output jack [10] of the master [A] and plug the other end into the
input jack [8] of the slave device [B].
Note: when using a remote controller in this setting, it must be connected to the master device.
NOTE: It is possible that your stroboscope is not working. In this case, open the cover at the front and check the
connections. The insulation may be too deep in the connector. Loosen the screws and pull the wires out a
few millimetres to make a good connection. Fasten the screws again.
• To switch off the device, set the mode switch [4] to the middle position (O).
7. Cleaning and maintenance
