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.

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

The unit may be set up on a stable and even surface. By means of various mounting options, the device can also be mounted on a truss, see picture below. For fixing, certified clamps with correct save working load are required. The mounting place must be of sufficient stability and be able to support a weight of 10 times of the unit's weight. Secure the unit with a safety cable so that it cannot fall down.

In the image below, there are two ways to mount the device on a truss. We advise you to choose 'centre load', this keeps the weight load in balance for your truss construction. This 'front load' is not possible when the truss is assembled in a ground 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!

RDM CONTROL

This unit can communicate using RDM (Remote Device Management) via DMX512. RDM is a bi-directional communication protocol for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the open standard for DMX512 configuration and status monitoring.

The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 line without affecting the existing non-RDM equipment. The system allows a controller or special RDM controller to send and receive commands from specific fixtures.

The RDM function allows you, for example to remotely set the DMX start address of your fixtures. This is especially useful when the fixture is installed in an inaccessible location. Each unit has an RDM UID (unique identification number).

CLEANING

The buildup of dust, dirt and other airborne particles will reduce the unit's light output. It will also prevent the unit from cooling correctly, and this will reduce the unit's lifetime. The rate of dirt buildup will vary depending on environmental factors such as airborne dust, use of smoke machines, airflow from ventilation systems, etc. The unit's cooling fans will accelerate buildup, and any smoke particles that are present in the atmosphere will increase the tendency for dirt to clog.

To get the best performance and lifetime from the unit, inspect it regularly and clean it as soon as you see signs of dirt buildup.

Assess the operating environment each time you begin to use the unit. In dusty or smoky conditions, inspect the unit after a few hours and check it frequently the unit may attract dirt faster than you expect. Draw up a cleaning schedule that will make sure that dirt is removed before it can build up.

Use the following guidelines:

• Disconnect the unit from power and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Do not use solvents, abrasives or any other aggressive product to clean the unit.
• Vacuum or use low-pressure compressed air to remove dust and loose particles from surfaces and air vents. Prevent the blades of cooling fans from turning before you aim a vacuum or air jet at the fan, or you may spin the fan too fast and damage it.
• Clean glass components by wiping gently with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth moistened with a weak detergent solution. Put the solution on the cloth and not on the surface to be cleaned. Avoid rubbing glass surfaces.
• Dry the unit with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air before reapplying power.

REPLACING THE FUSE

If the fuse is defective, replace the fuse with a fuse of the same type and value. Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.

FUSE

Procedure:

Step 1: Open the fuse holder on the rear panel with a fitting screwdriver.

Step 2: Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder.

Step 3: Install the new fuse in the fuse holder.

Step 4: Replace the fuse holder in the housing.
