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

POWERSUPPLY

On the label on the backside of the unit is indicated on this type of power supply must be connected. Check that the mains voltage corresponds to this, all other voltages than specified, the light effect can be irreparably damaged. The product must also be directly connected to the mains and may be used. No dimmer or adjustable power supply.

The unit has a powerconnector output on board. Depending on the local conditions several units can be linked by powerconnector in- and output. Connect a maximum of four (when using 230V/16A) units in a row. Use an approved three-core cable with a cross-section of at least 1.5 ~mm^2 . The installation instructions of the manufacturer and the colour coding of the cable must be observed. Do not turn off the unit by turning the powerconnector but use the power on/off switch or schuko!

WARNING! Always connect the unit to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the unit has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.

RIGGING

In temporary installations, you can suspend the fixture from a rigging truss by means of a rigging clamp that is approved for the weight of the fixture securely fastened through the hole in the center of the bracket (A). The fixture must be installed hanging vertically downwards only. When using a rigging clamp, secure the fixture with a safety cable, that is approved for the weight of the fixture so that the safety cable will hold the fixture if the rigging clamp fails. Remove as much slack as possible from the safety cable (by looping it more than once around the truss chord, for example). Check that the truss and all fasteners used can support 10 times the weight of all the fixtures and equipment that they will support.

When carrying out any installation, always comply European and national guidelines concerning rigging, truss and all other safety issues. Always let the installation checked out by an authorized dealer!

MOUNTING ON A SURFACE

To anchor the mounting bracket to a wall or other flat surface, use three high-strength corrosion-resistant fasteners that are safe for the application. Use selflocking nuts! Install washers under all nuts and bolt heads. Make sure that there is a washer between each fastener and the bracket. Ensure that the surface and all fasteners used can support 10 times the weight of all the fixtures and equipment that they will support.

Fasten the center of the bracket with a 10mm (25/64inch) shaft diameter bolt in the center hole A. Then use two bolts with 8mm (5/16 inch) shaft diameter passing through the curved slots B to anchor the fixture. This setup will give approximately 90^ of pan adjustment.

PROTECTION CLASS IP65

Units with protection class IP65 are dust-tight and completely protected against contact (first code number). They are also protected against splash water from any angle (second code digit). That is why this unit can also be used out- doors. Events units are generally only designed for temporary use however (event lighting) and not for permanent use outdoors. The specified protection class does not make a statement about the weather resistance of the units (resistance to changing ambient conditions as well as against the effects of sunlight and UV rays). The seals and screw connections of the units must be checked regularly to ensure a fault-free operation.

MAINTENANCE

This unit is virtually maintenance-free, but you should check the unit regularly for mechanical and electrical aspects.

Assess the operating environment and establish an inspection and cleaning schedule that follows the guidelines below:

• Disconnect the unit from the power supply and allow it to cool completely before inspecting and cleaning.
• Check that the screws and bolts used to install the unit are securely tightened and free from corrosion.
• Check the housing, fixing points and installation points, they must not show any signs of deformation, wear or fatigue.
• Check the mechanically moving parts, these must not show any signs of wear or fatigue.
• Check the electrical power and signal cables, they must not show any damage or fatigue.
  • Do not use solvents, abrasives or other aggressive products to clean the unit.
• Wipe the unit and clean the glass plate with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth moistened with a weak cleaning solution. Place the solution on the cloth and not on the surface to be cleaned. Avoid rubbing glass surfaces.
• Dry the unit, connectors and contacts with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air before re-powering the unit.
