Always insert batteries correctly, paying attention to the polarities (+ and -) marked on the battery and the equipment. Replace all batteries in a set at the same time. Do not short-circuit batteries. Do not charge batteries. Do not force discharge. Store batteries in a well-ventilated, dry place at a moderate temperature.
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. Use it only in a dry location. 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 make sure 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 (approx. 8 inches) 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 (113°F) or below 2°C (35.6°F).
- 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
- Never attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the unit yourself. Otherwise, the warranty becomes void. Repairs by unqualified persons may result in damage or malfunction. Please contact the nearest authorized service center. The light source contained in this fixture should only be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a person of equivalent qualification.
- Screens, lenses, or UV filters should be replaced if they are visibly damaged to an extent that compromises their effectiveness, such as by deep cracks or scratches.
- The lamp should be replaced if it has been damaged or deformed by heat.
- Disconnect the unit from the mains before servicing.

- CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, replace the fuse with the same type and rating.
Product Installation
Power Supply
Please use the attached power cord. Note that the power voltage and frequency are the same as the marked voltage and frequency of the device when connecting power. Each device's power should be connected separately so that the device can be controlled individually.
DMX Connection
Connection between lights and DMX must use a shielded cable of diameter more than 0.5 mm. Please use the attached 3-pin XLR plug/socket to connect the DMX output/input interface. The connection between the socket and cable is as follows:
In professional use, the DMX512 standard requires the presence of a "DMX terminator" on the last DMX device in the chain to properly terminate the signal loop. This terminator consists of a 120-ohm resistor placed between pin 2 and pin 3 of the XLR connector.
Rigging
Attention! 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! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials should be used, and the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.

DMX-OUTPUT: Female XLR 3-pin connector
DMX-INTPUT: Male XLR 3-pin connector
Pinout for XLR connectors:
- 1: Shield
