Installation

• Unpack and check carefully for transport damage before using the product. Never put a damaged product into operation.
• This product must be installed with strong hooks of adequate size for the weight carried. The product must be screwed to the hooks and tightened properly to prevent it from falling due to vibrations. Also check that the structure (or hanging point) can support at least 10X the weight of the hanging unit. The device must be installed by a qualified person and must be placed out of reach of the public. It is necessary to use a secondary hanging system (safety sling) approved for the weight of the device.
• This unit is intended for indoor use only. Exposing the unit to rain or moisture may result in electric shock or fire.
• Do not place the unit, speakers, or any other object on top of the power cord and ensure it is not pinched.
• For proper protection against electric shock, the unit must be connected to earth (ground). The electrical supply circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and a differential protection device.
• Power Disconnection Notice: To disconnect the device from the power source, the power plug must be removed from the power outlet. For this reason, the device must be placed in a position that allows constant, unobstructed access to the power outlet. This way, in case of an emergency, you can disconnect the power plug immediately.
• The unit should only be installed in a well-ventilated area. Make sure that no ventilation slots are blocked. To ensure adequate ventilation, leave at least 20 cm of free air space around the sides and top of the unit.
• To reduce the risk of strangulation, the flexible wiring connected to this luminaire shall be effectively fixed to the wall if the wiring is within arm's reach.

Usage

• This appliance must not be used by persons (including children) with limited physical, physiological or mental capabilities or lack of experience and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or are instructed by that person in the operation of the appliance.
• Never leave this equipment unattended.
• If you experience any problems with the unit, stop using it immediately. Do not attempt to repair it yourself. Contact your dealer or an authorized service center. There are no user replaceable parts.
• NEVER use the unit under the following conditions:
  • In areas subject to vibration or bumps.
  • In places where the ambient temperature is above 45°C or below 2°C.
  • In areas exposed to excessive dryness or humidity (ideal conditions: between 35% and 80%).
• Never use the unit near flames, flammable or explosive materials or hot surfaces. Doing so may cause a fire.
• The exterior of the unit can become very hot. It is important to avoid contact with the unit during operation and for at least 10 minutes after use.
• It is important to use the supplied power cable (grounded cable).
• Before turning on the power, make sure that the voltage and frequency of the power supply match the power requirements of the unit, as described in this manual.
• Never cut or tamper with the power cord or plug. If a power cord is provided with a ground wire, it is required for safe operation! Risk of fatal electric shock!
• Always hold the power cord by the plug. Do not pull on the cord itself and never touch the power cord with wet hands as this may cause a short circuit or electric shock.
• Do not connect this device to a dimmer pack.
• DO NOT allow liquids or objects to enter the unit. If liquid is spilled on the unit, immediately UNPLUG the power supply to the unit and contact customer service.
• You must ensure that the power cord never gets wet during operation. Before a thunderstorm and/or a lightning storm, unplug the unit from the mains.
• Under no circumstances should you open the housing of the device. If you do, your safety will not be assured. There are no operational components inside, only dangerous voltages that can give you a fatal shock!

Maintenance / Service

Product Installation

Power Supply

Use the attached power cable. Ensure the power voltage and frequency match the device's marked voltage and frequency. Connect each device's power separately for individual control.

Diagram shows LEN and FUSE: 3A.

DMX Connection

Use a shielded cable (diameter > 0.5mm) for connecting lights via DMX. Use the attached 3-pin XL plug/socket for DMX input/output. The connection is as follows:

DMX OUTPUT (XLR mounting-sockets, rear view):

• Pin 1: Shield
• Pin 2: Shield (-)
• Pin 3: Shield (+)

DMX INPUT (XLR mounting-plugs, rear view):

• Pin 2
• Pin 3

For standard DMX512 control, the last device's output must connect to a DMX plug containing a 120-ohm resistor between pins 2 and 3 of the XLR connector. This plug prevents signal transmission interference.

Rigging

Installation must be carried out by qualified service personnel only. Improper installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires extensive experience. Respect working load limits and use certified installation materials. Inspect the installed device regularly for safety.
