INSTALLATIONS
Cautions :
For added protection mount the fixtures In areas outside walking paths,
seating areas, or In areas were the fixture might be reached by unauthorized
personnel.
Before mounting the fixture to any surface, make sure that the Installation
area can hold a minimum point load of 1 O times the device’s weight.
Fixture Installation must always be secured with a secondary safety
attachment, such as an appropriate safety cable.
Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing, or servicing
the fixture.
from a ceiling, or set on a flat level surface (see illustration below). Be
sure this fixture is kept at least 0.5m (1.5 ft) away from any flammable
materials
(decoration etc.).
Always use and install the supplied safety cable as a safety measure to
prevent accidental damage and/or injury in the event the clamp fails.
Mounting points:
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including amongst others
calculating working load limits, a fine knowledge of the installation material
being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and
the fixture.
If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself.
Improper installation can result in bodily injury.
Be sure to complete all rigging and installation procedures before connecting
the main power cord to the appropriate wall outlet.
Clamp Mounting:
FOS Nitro BSW provides a unique mounting bracket assembly that Integrates the
bottom of the base, and the safety cable rigging point In one unit (see the
Illustration below). When mounting this fixture to truss be sure to secure an
appropriately rated clamp to the included omega bracket using a M10 screw
fitted through the center hole of the “Hanging Kit”. As an added safety
measure be sure to attached at least one properly rated safety cable to the
fixture using on of the safety cable rigging point Integrated In the base
assembly .
CONTROL CONNECTION
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pln XLR output of your
controller and the other side to the male 3-pln XLR Input of the moving head.
You can chain multiple Moving head together through serial llnklng. The cable
needed should be two core, screened cable with XLR Input and output
connectors. Please refer to the diagram below. OMX-512 connection with OMX
terminator.
For installations where the OMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an
electrically noisy environment, such as In a discotheque, It Is recommended to
use a OMX terminator.
This helps In preventing corruption of the digital control sign al by
electrical noise. The OMX terminator Is simply an XLR plug with a 3 resistor
connected between pins 2 and 3,whlch Is then plugged Into the output XLR
socket of the last fixture In the chain. Please see Illustrations below.

Maintenance and cleaning
It Is absolutely essential that the fixture Is kept clean and that dust, dirt and smoke-fluid residues must not build up on or within the fixture. Otherwise, the fixture’s light-output will be slgnlflcantly reduced. Regular clean Ing will not only ensure the maximum light-output, but will also allow 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 will require weekly cleaning as smoke-fluid tends to
building up residues, reducing the light-output very 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 you can wash them and put back dry.
After replacing the air filters, reset the elapsed time counter In the menu
“Information• (Information–• >Air Fllters—>Elapsed Time).
Replacing the fuse. Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.
- Remove the fuse holder on the rear panel of the base with a fitting screwdriver from the housing (anti- clockwise).
- Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder.
- Install the new fuse in the fuse holder (only the same type and rating).
- Replace the fuse holder In the housing and fix It.
