CAUTION ! EYE DAMAGE !

Avoid looking directly into the light source!

This device has left our premises in absolutely perfect condition. In order to maintain this condition & to ensure a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to follow the safety instructions and warning notes written in this manual.

The manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the non-observance of this manual or any unauthorized modification to the device.

Please consider that damages caused by manual modifications to the device are not subject to warranty.

1. Safety instructions

Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated on the rear panel of the fixture. This fixture should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied, consult your authorized distributor or local power company.

Always disconnect the fixture from AC power before cleaning, removing or installing the fuses, or any part. The power plug has to be accessible after installing the fixture. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords

as this can result in fire or electric shock. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this fixture where the cord may be damaged by

persons walking on it. Make sure that the power cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Check the fixture and the power

cord from time to time. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

Do not connect this fixture to a dimmer pack. During the initial start-up some smoke or smell may arise. This is a normal process and does not necessarily

mean that the device is defective. Do not touch the device’s housing with bare hands during its operation (housing becomes hot)!

For replacement use lamps and fuses of same type and rating only.

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE READ THIS USER MANUAL CAREFULLY

BEFORE YOU INITALLY START

This light was designed for indoor use and it is intended for

professional application only. It is not for household use.

CAUTION!

Disconnect the fixture from mains before you remove any cover of the fixture.

With a high voltage you can suffer a dangerous electric shock when touching

live wires and electrical parts under covers!

This fixture falls under protection class I. Therefore this fixture has to be connected to

a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

If the fixture has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.

Do not shake the fixture. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the fixture. This fixture was designed for indoor use only; do not expose this unit to rain or use near water. When choosing the installation spot, please make sure that the fixture is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture

or dust. Air vents and slots in the fixture´s head and base are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of

the device and to protect it from overheating. Do not block the front objective lens with any object when the fixture is under operation. The openings should never be covered with cloth or other materials, and never must be blocked. The fixture becomes very hot during operation. Allow the fixture to cool approximately 5 minutes prior to

examination. This fixture should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided. Only operate the fixture after having checked that the housing is firmly closed and all screws are tightly

fastened. Always use a secondary safety cable when mounting this fixture. Make sure that the area below the installation place is blocked when rigging, derigging or servicing the

fixture.

The maximum ambient temperature 45°C must never be exceeded.

Operate the device only after having familiarized with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not qualified for operating the device. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation!

Please keep the original packaging if the device is to be transported or returned to the deal for service or repair.

Warning

The minimum distance between light output and the illuminated surface must be more

than 0.5 meters.

CAUTION!

The lens has to be replaced when it is obviously damaged,

so its function is not impaired, e. g. due to cracks or deep scratches!

2.2 Rigging the fixture

A structure intended for installation of the fixture (s) must safely hold weight of the fixture(s) placed on it. The structure has to be certificated to the purpose.

The fixture (fixtures) must be installed in accordance with national and local electrical and construction codes and regulation.

When rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person once a year.

Allow the fixture to cool for ten minutes before handling. The projector should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated. IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including calculating working

load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the projector. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but use a help of professional companies.

CAUTION: Fixtures may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do not install the fixture!

Fixtures must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all

national and local electrical and construction codes and regulations.

For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be earthed!

For overhead installation, the fixture must be always secured with a safety wire

Page 5

The fixture has to be installed out of the reach of the prying fingers of the public.

The fixture can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its operation characteristics. For securing a fixture to the truss, install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. Use only the safety wire with screw-on carabineer. Pull the safety wire through the safety attachment point on the bottom of the base and around the truss as shown on the pictures below.

Truss installation

1. Bolt each hook clamp to the omega holder with M10 bolt and lock nut through the hole in the holder.

2. Fasten the omega holders on the bottom of the base by inserting both quick-lock fasteners into the holes of the base and tighten fully clockwise.

3. Pull the safety bond wire through the attachment point and around the truss as indicated below

Alternatively, fixtures handles can be used stood vertically on the floor or solid surface

Danger of fire !

When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inflammable

material (decoration articles, etc.) in a distance of min. 1 m.

CAUTION!

Use 2 appropriate clamps to rig the fixture on the truss.

Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base.

Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the

structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.

Power supply connection

The equipment can be used on a wide voltage input from 100 to 240v AC. Please make sure the voltage is in this scale when connecting the power.

Mains input is via industry standard Powercon (Blue) Connectors. You can daisy chain a maximum of 6 units using Powercon link cables (Blue & white connectors) for ease of rigging.

This unit’s mains supply must NOT be connected to a Dimmer

The unit is externally fused with a 3.15a 20mm ceramic fuse located on the Input/Output panel and must be replaced with the same rating in the case of failure.

DMX Signal Connection

1. Use standard 3 pin DMX cable to plug into the 1st light (male) and daisy chain further lights as Required. The DMX signal conforms to industry standard protocol as per the picture below;

2. Although not always necessary we would always recommend the use of a DMX signal Terminator on the last light in the chain to prevent stray signals causing interference. This is particularly important on a long run of DMX.

A DMX terminator can be made by soldering a 120Ω resistor between DMX- (pin2) & DMX+ (pin3) of a 3 pin XLR male Connector

When installing fixtures side-by-side,

avoid illuminating one fixture with another!

DANGER TO LIFE!

Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be approved by

an expert!
