1. Maintenance

The manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the non-observance of this manual or any unauthorized modification to the device. Damages caused by manual modifications to the device are not subject to warranty.

During operation, the housing becomes hot. Allow the fixture to cool approximately 20 minutes prior to manipulation.

Ensure the available voltage is not higher than stated on the rear panel.

Always disconnect from the mains when the device is not in use or before cleaning. Only handle the power-cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power cord.

This device falls under protection class I. Therefore, it is essential to connect the yellow/green conductor to earth.

The electric connection, repairs, and servicing must be carried out by a qualified employee.

Do not connect this device to a dimmer pack.

Do not switch the fixture on and off in short intervals, as this would reduce the fixture's life.

During initial start-up, some smoke or smell may arise. This is a normal process and does not necessarily mean the device is defective.

Do not touch the device's housing bare hands during operation (housing becomes hot)!

For replacement, use fixtures and fuses of the same type and rating only.

CAUTION! Be careful with your operations. With a high voltage, you can suffer a dangerous electric shock when touching the wires!

2. Operating determination

Attention: The powerCON is a connector without breaking capacity, i.e., the powerCON should not be connected or disconnected under load or live!

If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g., after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. Condensation may damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.

Before switching the fixture OFF, turn the fixture OFF and allow it to cool for a while.

Never run the device without fixture!

Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.

Never lift the fixture by holding the projector-head, as the mechanics may be damaged. Always hold the fixture at the transport handles.

When choosing the installation spot, ensure the device is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture, or dust. Ensure there are no cables lying around, as this endangers yourself and others!

The minimum distance between light output and the illuminated surface must be more than 8 meters.

Ensure the area below the installation place is blocked when rigging, derigging, or servicing the fixture.

Always fix the fixture with an appropriate safety rope. Fix the safety rope at the correct holes only.

Only operate the fixture after checking that the housing is firmly closed and all screws are tightly fastened.

The fixture must never be ignited if the objective-lens or any housing-cover is open, as discharge fixtures may explode and emit high ultraviolet radiation, which may cause burns.

The maximum ambient temperature of 45°C must never be exceeded.

3. Attention Item

1. For product longevity, do not place it in wet areas or areas above 40 degrees Celsius.
2. Do not place the product on an un-fixable or shakable surface.
3. Consult a professional for maintenance to avoid the danger of electric shock.
4. Power supply should not deviate by more than +/-10% while the light is in use. If the power is too high, it will decrease the fixture's life; if the power is too low, it will affect luminosity.
5. After power off, if it needs to be used again, please allow it to cool down for over 20 minutes.
6. Refer to the manual to ensure the product can be used normally.

4. Rigging the fixture

A structure intended for installation of the fixture(s) must safely hold the weight of the fixture(s) placed on it. The structure must be certified for the purpose.

The fixture(s) must be installed in accordance with national and local electrical and construction codes and regulations.

For overhead installation, the fixture must always be secured with a safety wire that can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.

When rigging, derigging, or servicing the fixture, staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under high working places, and other endangered areas is forbidden.

The operator must ensure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation again.

The operator must ensure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person once a year.

Allow the fixture to cool for ten minutes before handling.

The projector should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.

IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the projector. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but use the help of professional companies.

CAUTION: Fixtures may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do not install the fixture!

The fixture must be installed out of the reach of the public.

The fixture must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.

Danger of fire! When installing the device, ensure there is no highly inflammable material (decoration articles, etc.) within a distance of min. 1 m.

The minimum distance of 8 meters between light output from the moving head and the lit objects must be kept!

CAUTION! Use 2 appropriate fixtures to rig the fixture on the truss. Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base. Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.

The fixture can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its operation characteristics.

For securing a fixture to the truss, install two safety wires which can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. Use only the safety wires with screw-on carabines.

5. DMX-512 connection

The fixture is equipped with both 3-pin sockets for DMX Input and Output. The sockets are wired in parallel.

Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.

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

• 1 - Shield
• 2 - Signal (-)
• 3 - Signal (+)

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

• 1 - Shield
• 2 - Signal (-)
• 3 - Signal (+)

Building a serial DMX-chain:

Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected. Up to 32 fixtures can be connected.

Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω resistor between Signal (-) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin (5-pin) XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.

7. Maintenance and cleaning

It is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and that dust, dirt, and smoke-fluid residues do not build up on or within the fixture. Otherwise, the fixture's light-output will be significantly reduced. Regular cleaning ensures maximum light-output and allows the fixture to function reliably throughout its life.

A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning fluid is recommended. Under no circumstances should alcohol or solvents be used!

DANGER! Disconnect from the mains before starting any maintenance work.

The front objective lens requires weekly cleaning as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing light-output quickly. The cooling-fans should be cleaned monthly.

The interior of the fixture should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet.

Remove dust and dirt from the fans and cooling vents using a soft brush and vacuum-cleaner.

Important! Check the air filters periodically and clean before they become clogged!

Clean two air filters placed in the fixture's covers and two in the fixture base. Use a vacuum cleaner, compressed air, or wash them and put them back dry.

8. Replacing the fuse

Before replacing the fuse, unplug the mains lead.

1. Remove the fuse holder on the rear panel of the base with a fitting screwdriver from the housing (anti-clockwise).
2. Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder.
3. Install the new fuse in the fuse holder (only the same type and rating).
4. Replace the fuse holder in the housing and fix it.

Checking plastic parts of the fixture:

The plastic parts of the fixture should be checked for damages and beginning cracks at least every two months.

Additionally, the plastic part of the front lens must be checked mechanically (by means of movement of the plastic part) to ensure it is firmly fastened to the fixture. If a crack is found on some plastic part, do not use the fixture until the damaged part is replaced.

Cracks or other damages to the plastic parts can be caused by fixture transportation or manipulation, and the aging process may also affect plastic materials.

This checking is necessary for both fixed installations and preparing fixtures for renting. Any free-moving parts inside the fixture head, cracked plastic, or any plastic part of the front lens not sitting properly in place need to be immediately replaced.
