5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 RIGGING THE DEVICE
CAUTION
Please consider the respective national norms during the installation. The installation must only be carried out by a qualified person. The installation of the support structure 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 safety rope. Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing or servicing the fixture. The operator has to make sure the safety relating and machine technical installations are approved by an expert before taking the device into operation for the first time. These installations have to be approved by a skilled person once a year. Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including amongst others 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 yo urself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.
5.2 RIGGING USING THE OMEGA BRACKETS
CAUTION
This step is very important to ensure safe rigging of the fixture. Fix the clamp to the bracket by tightening the M12 nut and bolt
to the bracket through the 13 hole in the middle of the bracket. Insert the quick lock fasteners of the first Omega holder into the
respective holes on the bottom of the device. Tighten the quick lock fasteners fully clockwise. Install the second Omega holder. Pull the safety cable through the holes on the bottom of the base and over the trussing system or another suitable rigging point. Insert the end into the carabiner and tighten the safety screw.

7. DMX-512 CONNECTION WITH DMX
TERMINATION
For installations where the DMX cable has to run over a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing corruption of the digital control signal caused by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is an XLR plug with a 120 resistor connected between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output (female) XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain.
Please see illustrations below.

Be sure this fixture is kept at least 0.1 m away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.).
Always use and install a supplied safety cable as a safety measure to prevent accidental damage and/or injury in the event the clamp fails.
Rig the projector high enough to provide clearance for people who may walk beneath the beam path or establishing a restricted access area that extends beyond the beam hazard distance.
While fixed installation at locations other than cinema theaters should be installed at a height not lower than 3 m vertically. The lowest tip of the Hazard Zone should be no lower than 3 m measured vertically above the floor. Horizontal clearance to the Hazard Zone should be 2.5 m measured horizontally. Any human access to the Hazard Zone, if applicable, is to be restricted by barriers. The fixed installation should be performed by authorized installers, who are trained to perform installations in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION! Please DO NOT let other external intense lights to shine through the fixture front lens, it may cause significant internal damages!
When install fixture outdoor at day time (with power off), please make sure that the fixture front lens is NOT facing the sun.
When use fixture outdoor at day time (with power on), please avoid fixture front lens facing the sun.
When fixture is on standby outdoor at day time (with power ON and no DMX signal), please make sure the “sun protection” mode is ON (default).

8. DEVICE DMX START ADDRESS SELECTION
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the correct fixture responds to the correct control signals This digital starting address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting address is achieved by setting the correct address number on the display located on the base of the device.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different addresses for each fixture individually. If you set the same address on all devices, all the devices will start to “listen to” the same control signal from the same channel number In other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.
If you set a different address, each unit will start to “listen to” the channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control channels of the unit. That means changing the settings of one channel will affect only the selected device.
In the case of the LASER moving head, in 35 channel mode, you should set the starting address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 36 (35+ 1), the third unit to 71 (35 + 36), and so on.

Use a Torque Screwdriver set at 14Kgf.cm (1.4 Nm) for metal cover or 7Kgf.cm (0.7 Nm) for plastic cover.

The following points have to be considered during inspection:
· All screws for installing the devices or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded.
· There must not be any deformations to the housing, lenses, rigging and installation points (ceiling, suspension, trussing).
· Motorized parts must not show any signs of wear and must move smoothly without issue.
· The power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or sediment.

Checking and replacing the desiccant The desiccant is used as humidity indication in the fixture. Dry desiccant is in blue Colour, if it is saturated with water, its Colour changes to light red. If the desiccant Colour changes to pink, the desiccant is losing efficacy, it must be replaced.
CAUTION Unplug the fixture from mains before checking or replacing desiccant! Do not check or replace desiccant in a damp environment!
Further instructions depending on the installation location and usage have to be adhered to by a qualified installer and any safety concerns have to be removed.
In order to ensure the device remains in good condition and does not fail prematurely, we suggest regular maintenance. Clean the outside lens each week to avoid loss of output due to
accumulation of dust/ dirt on the lens. Clean the fans each week to ensure maximum airflow and efficient
thermal cooling. This will ensure the light source is operated in the best possible condition. A detailed electrical check by an approved electrician every quarter to make sure that the circuit contacts are in good condition. This will prevent poor circuit contacts and the resultant overheating.

We recommend frequent cleaning of the device. Please use a moist, lint- free cloth. Never use alcohol or solvents. Please refer to the instructions under “Installation instructions”.
Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local dealer.
