INSTALLATION

DANGER TO LIFE!

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

The installation of the mirrorball 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. 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 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 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.

Attachment

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 mirrorball. 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 motor must only be installed in an absolutely horizontal position at a vibration-free, oscillation-free and fire-resistant location. By using a water-level, make sure that the motor is installed absolutely horizontally and that the motor axle points exactly to the bottom.

The motor and the mirrorball have to be installed out of the reach of people.

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

Caution: Mirrorballs may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the motor!

Before attaching the device, make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device's load (e.g. maximum load 3 kg - point load 30 kg).

The mirrorball motor must always be installed via all fixation holes. Do only use appropriate screws and make sure that the screws are properly connected with the ground.

The durability of the installation depends very much on the material used at the installation area (building material) such as wood, concrete, gas concrete, brick etc. This is why the fixing material must be chosen to suit the wall material. Always ask a specialist for the correct plug/screw combination indicating the maximum load and the building material.

Procedure:

Step 1: The fixation holes are located on the baseplate.

Step 2: Hold the baseplate onto the location where the device is to be installed.

Step 3: Mark the boreholes with a pen or a suitable tool.

English

Step 4: Drill the holes.

Step 5: Hold the baseplate in the desired position and tighten it.

The installation material must never include abrading material e. g. steel cables in order to avoid material wearing.

The length of the chain must never exceed 100 cm.

Install the mirrorball chain with the screw-on chain link at the installation eyelet of the mirrorball and tighten the fixation screw.

Insert the fourth chain link of the mirrorball chain with the mirrorball in the screw-on chain link and tighten the fixation screw.

For overhead use, always install a safety chain on the mirrorball that can hold at least 12 times the weight of the installation. The safety chain must be slightly longer than the mirrorball chain so that the safety chain will always be tension-free. Pull the safety chain through the safety eyelet of the mirrorball and in the safety eyelet of the motor.

The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20 cm.

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

There must never hang a mirrorball or other load at the safety eyelet. Loads must only be hanged at the quick link of the installation eyelet at the motor axle. If a mirrorball hangs for any reason at the safety eyelet, the motor must be taken out of operation immediately and the mirrorball must be uninstalled. The whole installation has to be checked for defects by an expert.

Make sure that the rotation of the mirrorball is never slowed down or stopped by decoration material etc.

Make sure that no side forces can impact on the installation.

Make sure that the mirrorball cannot be moved by air streams. The mirrorball and the motor must be installed and operated absolutely swivel free.

Please check in regular intervals, if the installation material (e.g. key ring, shackles or screw-on chain links) or chain links have been deformed. Uninstall the mirrorball immediately in such a case.

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	[cxz2]

Attention! 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 3 mm 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 30 mA.

DANGER TO LIFE!

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

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).
3) Mechanically moved parts like axles, eyes and others must not show any traces of wearing (e.g. material abrading or damages) and must not rotate with unbalances.
4) 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.

Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers.

Should you need any spare parts, please use genuine parts.
