INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Please consider the respective national norms during the installation! The installation must only be carried out by an authorized employee or dealers!

Attention:

• The installation of the fixture has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.
• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
• 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.
• The fixture should be installed in the position where persons cannot reach and where persons may walk by or be seated.

CAUTION: When installing the fixture, make sure there is no highly in inflammable material (decoration articles, etc.) in between a distance of min 0.5 meter.

DMX-512 CONNECTION

If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller directly to the DMX-input of the first unit in a DMX-chain. Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next unit until all units are connected. If you use a controller with 5 pin DMX connection you will need to use a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter.

At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Solder a 120 Ohm resistor between signal (-) and signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR connector and plug this into the DMX output of the last fixture in the chain.

FIXTURE CLEANING

The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit's optics.

• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing
• Housings, fixations and installations spots( ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any deformation
- The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a small problem is detected
- In order to protect the fixture from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be cleaned monthly.
- The interior of the fixture should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.
- Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.
• Always dry the parts carefully.
- Clean the external optics at least every month. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.

ATTENTION: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified worker!
