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

Important:

Damages caused by the disregard of this user manual are not subject to warranty. The dealer will not accept liability for any resulting defects or problems.

If the device 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.

English

Please make sure that there are no obvious transport damages. Should you notice any damages on the A/C connection cable or on the casing, do not take the device into operation and immediately consult your local dealer.

This device falls under protection-class I. The power plug must only be plugged into a protection class I outlet. The voltage and frequency must exactly be the same as stated on the device. Wrong voltages or power outlets can lead to the destruction of the device and to mortal electrical shock.

Always plug in the power plug last. The power plug must always be inserted without force. Make sure that the plug is tightly connected with the outlet.

Never let the power-cord come into contact with other cables! Handle the power-cord and all connections with the mains with particular caution! Never touch them with wet hands, as this could lead to mortal electrical shock.

Never modify, bend, strain mechanically, put pressure on, pull or heat up the power cord. Never operate next to sources of heat or cold. Disregard can lead to power cord damages, fire or mortal electrical shock.

The cable insert or the female part in the device must never be strained. There must always be sufficient cable to the device. Otherwise, the cable may be damaged which may lead to mortal damage.

Make sure that the power-cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Check the device and the power-cord from time to time.

If extension cords are used, make sure that the core diameter is sufficient for the required power consumption of the device. All warnings concerning the power cords are also valid for possible extension cords.

Always disconnect from the mains, when the device is not in use or before cleaning it. Only handle the power-cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power-cord. Otherwise, the cable or plug can be damaged leading to mortal electrical shock. If the power plug or the power switch is not accessible, the device must be disconnected via the mains.

If the power plug or the device is dusty, the device must be taken out of operation, disconnected and then be cleaned with a dry cloth. Dust can reduce the insulation which may lead to mortal electrical shock. More severe dirt in and at the device should only be removed by a specialist.

There must never enter any liquid into power outlets, extension cords or any holes in the housing of the device. If you suppose that also a minimal amount of liquid may have entered the device, it must immediately be disconnected. This is also valid, if the device was exposed to high humidity.

INSTALLATION

Installing/Replacing the lamp

DANGER TO LIFE!

Only install the lamp with the device switched off!

Unplug from mains before!

CAUTION!

The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed due to the heat!

Before replacing the lamp, unplug mains lead and let the lamp cool down (approx. 5 minutes).

English

During the installation do not touch the glass-bulbs bare-handed! Please follow the lamp manufacturer's notes!

Do not install lamps with a higher wattage! Lamps with a higher wattage generate temperatures the device was not designed for. Damages caused by non-observation are not subject to warranty.

For the installation, you need one GKV 240V/600W G-9.5 lamp.

Procedure:

Step 1: Open the lampholder cover by loosening the fixation screw.
Step 2: If replacing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the spot.
Step 3: Insert the lamp in the lampholder.
Step 4: Insert the lampholder and close the device.

Do not operate this device with opened housing!

Installing/Replacing the lens

(EUROLITE ML-64 and EUROLITE ML-64 Pro)

The lenses should be inserted with the bulge facing outwards. This will ensure the following properties:

1. The mounting clamp for the lenses engages with the groove on the lens and in this way prevents the unintentional falling out of the lens.
2. In case of a possible cracking of the lens, the bulge direction helps prevent single pieces from falling out.
3. The lens has a filter function with regard to the infrared constituent in light. The reflective effect towards the housing rear panel can only function if the lens has been installed correctly.

Please use this device only with installed color filter frames!

Overhead rigging

DANGER TO LIFE!

Please consider the EN 60598-2-17 and the respective national standards during the installation! The installation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer!

The installation of the device 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.

When rigging, derigging or servicing the device 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 an expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.

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

Procedure:

The device should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.

IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to) calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the device. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and or damage to property.

The device has to be installed out of the reach of people.

If the device shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.

Caution: Devices in hanging installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the device!

Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device's weight.

DANGER OF FIRE!

When installing the device, make sure there is no highly-inflammable material (decoration articles, etc.) within a distance of min. 0.5m

Mount the device to your trussing system using an appropriate clamp.

For overhead use, always install an appropriate safety bond.

You must only use safety bonds complying with DIN 56927, quick links complying with DIN 56926, shackles complying with DIN EN 1677-1 and BGV C1 carbines. The safety bonds, quick links, shackles and the carbines must be sufficiently dimensioned and used correctly in accordance with the latest industrial safety regulations (e.g. BGV C1, BGI 810-3).

English

Please note: for overhead rigging in public or industrial areas, a series of safety instructions have to be followed that this manual can only give in part. The operator must therefore inform himself on the current safety instructions and consider them.

The manufacturer cannot be made liable for damages caused by incorrect installations or insufficient safety precautions!

Pull the safety bond through the attachment eyelet and over the trussing system or a safe fixation spot. Insert the end in the quick link and tighten the safety screw.

The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20~cm

A safety bond which already held the strain of a crash or which is defective must not be used again.

Adjust the desired inclination-angle via the mounting-bracket and tighten the fixation screws.

DANGER TO LIFE!

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

Connection with the mains

Connect the device to the mains with the power plug.

The occupation of the connection cables is as follows:

Cable Pin International
Brown Live L
Blue Neutral N
Yellow/Green Earth		1

The earth has to be connected!

If the device will be directly connected with the local power supply network, a disconnection switch with a minimum opening of 3mm at every pole has to be included in the permanent electrical installation.

The device must only be connected with an electric installation carried out in compliance with the IEC-standards. The electric installation must be equipped with a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a maximum fault current of 30mA .

OPERATION

After you connected the spot to the mains, you can control the spots via your lighting controller.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are inspected by an expert after every four years in the course of an acceptance test.

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

The following points have to be considered during the inspection:

1) All screws used for installing the devices or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded.
2) There must not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots (ceiling, suspension, trussing).

English

3) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages, material fatigue (e.g. porous cables) or sediments. Further instructions depending on the installation spot and usage have to be adhered by a skilled installer and any safety problems have to be removed.

DANGER TO LIFE!

Disconnect from mains before starting maintenance operation!

We recommend a frequent cleaning of the device. Please use a moist, lint-free cloth. Never use alcohol or solvents!

The lens has to be replaced when it is obviously damaged, so that its function is impaired, e. g. due to cracks or deep scratches!

CAUTION!

The objective lens will require weekly cleaning as smoke-fluid tends to building up residues, reducing the light-output very quickly.

The interior of the device should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet.

There are no serviceable parts inside the device except for the lamp. Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers.

Please refer to the instructions under "Installing/Replacing the lamps". Should you need any spare parts, please use genuine parts.

If the power supply cable of this device becomes damaged, it has to be replaced by authorized dealers only in order to avoid hazards.

Should you have further questions, please contact your dealer.
