PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK

• Disconnect the fixture from AC power before removing or installing any cover or part and when not in use.
• Always ground (earth) the fixture electrically.
• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both overload and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
• Before using the fixture, check that all power distribution equipment and cables are in perfect condition and rated for the current requirements of all connected devices.
• Power input and throughput cables must be rated 20 A minimum, have three conductors 1.5 mm² (16 AWG) minimum conductor size, and outer cable diameter of 5 – 15  mm. Cables must be hard usage type (SJT or equivalent) and heat-resistant to 90° C minimum.
• Use only PowerCON TRUE 1 ® cable connectors to connect to power input sockets. Use only PowerCON TRUE 1 ® cable connectors to connect to power throughput sockets.
• Isolate the fixture from power immediately if the power plug or any seal, cover, cable, or other component is damaged, defective, deformed, wet, or showing signs of overheating. Do not reapply power until repairs have been completed.
• Refer any service operation not described in this manual to a qualified technician.
• Socket outlets used to supply fixture fixtures with power or external power switches must be located near the fixtures and easily accessible so that the fixtures can easily be disconnected from power.

PROTECTION FROM BURNS AND FIRE

• The exterior of the fixture becomes hot during use. Avoid contact with persons and materials.
  Allow the fixture to cool for at least 5 minutes before handling.

• Keep all combustible materials (e.g. fabric, wood, paper) at least 100 mm away from the fixture.

• Keep flammable materials well away from the fixture.

• Ensure that there is free and unobstructed airflow around the fixture.

• Do not illuminate surfaces within 200 mm of the fixture.

• Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses.

• If you relay power from one fixture to another using power throughput sockets, do not connect more than ten fixture fixtures in total to each other in an interconnected chain.

• Connect only other fixture fixtures to fixture power throughput sockets.

• Do not connect any other type of device to these sockets.

• Do not stick filters, masks, or other materials onto any optical component.

• Do not modify the fixture in any way not described in this manual.

PROTECTION FROM INJURY

• Do not look continuously at LEDs from a distance of fewer than 3 meters from the front surface of the fixture without protective eyewear such as shade 4-5 welding goggles.  At less than this distance, the LED emission can cause eye injury or irritation. At distances of 3 meters and above, light output is harmless to the naked eye provided that the eye’s natural aversion response is not overcome.

• Do not look at LEDs with magnifiers, telescopes, binoculars, or similar optical instruments that may concentrate the light output.

• Ensure that persons are not looking at the LEDs from within 2 meters when the product lights up suddenly.
  This can happen when power is applied, when the product receives a DMX signal, or when SERVICE menu items are selected.

• Fasten the fixture securely to a fixed surface or structure when in use. The fixture is not portable when installed.

• Ensure that any supporting structure and/or hardware used can hold at least 10 times the weight of all the devices they support.

• Allow enough clearance around the head to ensure that it cannot collide with an object or another fixture when it moves.

• Check that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened.

• Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing, servicing, or moving the fixture.

• Do not operate the fixture with missing or damaged covers, shields, or any optical component.

AC Power

Warning! Read “Safety Information” starting before connecting the fixtures to AC mains power.
Warning! For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The power distributioncircuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
Warning! Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the fixture with power must be located near the fixture and easily accessible so that the fixtures can easily be disconnected from power.
Important! Do not insert or remove live PowerCON TRUE 1 ® connectors to apply or cut power, as this may cause arcing at the terminals that will damage the connectors.
Important! Do not use an external dimming system to supply power to the fixture, as this may cause damage to the fixture that is not covered by the product warranty.
The fixture can be hard-wired to an electrical installation if you want to install it permanently, or a power plug that is suitable for the local power outlets can be installed on the power cable.

Power cables
Power input and throughput cables must be rated 16A minimum, have three conductors 1.5 mm² (16 AWG) minimum conductor size, and outer cable diameter of 5 – 15 mm.  Cables must be hard usage type (SJT or equivalent) and heat- resistant to 90°C minimum. In the EU the cable must be HAR approved or equivalent.
If you install a power plug on the power cable, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug that is rated 16A minimum. Follow the plug manufacturer’s instructions. Table 1 shows standard wire color-coding schemes and some possible pin identification schemes; if pins are not clearly identified.

Relaying power to other devices

Warning! Do not connect more than 10 fixtures in total to AC mains power in one interconnected chain. Power can be relayed to another device via the PowerCON TRUE 1 ®  throughput socket.
If you daisy chain the fixtures in a chain so that they all draw AC mains power via the first fixture, certain points must be respected:
A heavy-duty, three-conductor, 16 AWG, or 1.5 mm2 cable with SJT or equivalent cable jacket must be used to connect the first fixture to AC mains power.

• PowerCON TRUE 1 ® connectors must be used to draw AC mains power from the fixture’s power throughput sockets and yellow
  PowerCON TRUE 1 ® connectors must be used to supply power at the fixture’s power input sockets.

• No matter what the AC mains power voltage is, do not connect more than ???? a fixture in total ( including the first fixture) to AC mains power in one interconnected daisy chain using power input and throughout connectors.

Data link

A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control a fixture via DMX. The fixture has 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output.
The pin-out on all connectors is pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = cold (-), and pin 3 = hot (+) Pins 4 and 5 in the 5-pin XLR connectors are not used.
Tips for reliable data transmission
To connect the fixture to data:

1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the 5-pin XLR connector of the nearest fixture.
2. Connect the DMX output of the fixture closest to the controller to the DMX input of the next fixture and continue connecting fixture output to input.

Physical installation

Warning! The fixture must be either fastened to a flat surface such as a stage or wall or clamped to a truss or similar structure in any orientation using a rigging clamp.
Warning! If the fixture can cause injury or damage if it falls, attach an approved safety cable to one of the safety cable attachment points on the base (see “Fixture overview”).
Check that all surfaces to be illuminated are a minimum of 200 mm. from the fixture, that combustible materials (wood, fabric, paper, etc.) are a minimum of 100 mm. from the fixture, and that there is free airflow around the fixture, and that there are no flammable materials nearby.

Fastening the fixture to a flat surface
The fixture can be fastened to a fixed flat surface that is oriented at any angle. Check that the surface can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it.
Warning! The supporting surface must be hard and flat or cooling may be blocked, which will cause overheating.
Fasten the fixture securely. Do not stand it on a surface or leave it where it can be moved or can fall over. Attach a securely anchored safety cable to the safety cable attachment point (see “Fixture overview”) if the fixture is to be installed in any location where it may fall and cause injury or damage if the primary attachment fails.

1. Block access under the work area. Working from a stable platform, hang the fixture on the truss with the arrow on the base towards the area to be illuminated. Tighten the rigging clamp.
2. Secure the fixture against clamp failure with a secondary attachment such as an approved safety cable that is rated for the weight of the fixture using one of the attachment points at the edges of the base (see “Fixture overview”). Do not use any other part of the fixture as a safety cable attachment point.
