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 mm². 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.

RISK OF INJURIES

CAUTION! Stroboscope effects may cause epileptic seizures in sensitive people!

To guard against risks from epileptic seizure:

• Do not operate the fixture near stairways, in corridors or near public exits.
• Provide advance notice that strobe lighting is in use. Display advisory notices at the point of ticket sales, on tickets if possible, in the program, and at the entrance(s) to the venue.
• Avoid extended periods of continuous flashing, particularly at frequencies of 10 to 20 flashes per second. At flash rates below 5 flashes per second, it is estimated that only 5% of flicker-sensitive persons will be at risk of seizure.
• Make sure that personnel at the venue are trained in the care of a person who is having an epileptic seizure and able to provide care if necessary.
  • If strobes are in use and a person has a seizure, switch the strobes off immediately.
• Mount the fixture as high above head height as practicable.

RIGGING

The unit may be set up on a stable and even surface. By means of the fixing facilities of the baseplate, the unit can also be mounted upside down to a truss, see below picture. For fixing, certified clamps with correct save working load are required. According to the figure, the quick lock bolts of the omega brackets are placed into the openings provided in the base plate and turned clockwise until they lock (to the stop). 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.

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!

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.

MAINTENACE

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.
