SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel only.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within the equilateral triangle is intended to alert the use or the presence of un-insulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
The exclamation point within the equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operation and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying this appliance.
This symbol means: indoor use only
This symbol means: Read instructions
This symbol determines: the minimum distance from lighted objects. The minimum distance between light-output and the illuminated surface must be more than x meters
The device is not suitable for direct mounting on normally flammable surfaces. (suitable only for mounting on non-combustible surfaces)

To protect the environment, please try to recycle the packing material as much as possible.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
To avoid condensation to be formed inside, allow the unit to adapt to the surrounding temperatures when bringing it into a warm room after transport. Condense sometimes prevents the unit from working at full performance or may even cause damages.
This unit is for indoor use only.
Don’t place metal objects or spill liquid inside the unit. Electric shock or malfunction may result. If a foreign object enters the unit, immediately disconnect the mains power.
Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The fixture must be fixed at least 50cm from surrounding walls.
Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
Prevent use in dusty environments and clean the unit regularly.
Keep the unit away from children.
Inexperienced persons should not operate this device.
Maximum safe ambient temperature is 40°C. Don’t use this unit at higher ambient temperatures.
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
Allow the device about 10 minutes to cool down before to start servicing.
Always unplug the unit when it is not used for a longer time or before to start servicing.
The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only, according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
Check that the available voltage is not higher than the one stated on the unit.
The power cord should always be in perfect condition. Switch the unit immediately off when the power cord is squashed or damaged. It must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Never let the power-cord come into contact with other cables!
This fixture must be earthed in order to comply with safety regulations.
Don’t connect the unit to any dimmer pack.
Always use an appropriate and certified safety cable when installing the unit.
In order to prevent electric shock, do not open the cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Never repair a fuse or bypass the fuse holder. Always replace a damaged fuse with a fuse of the same type and electrical specifications!
In the event of serious operating problems, stop using the fixture and contact your dealer immediately.
The housing and the lenses must be replaced if they are visibly damaged.
Please use the original packing when the device is to be transported.
Due to safety reasons it is prohibited to make unauthorized modifications to the unit.

OVERHEAD RIGGING

Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal 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, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device’s weight.
Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when installing the unit. This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!
Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled person to be sure that safety is still optimal.

- All slave units must be set to [SLAVE MODE]
DMX CONTROLLED:
The projector can be controlled by any standard DMX-controller in different DMX-modes. To do this, you need to set the desired start address and DMX mode for each unit
- Press the [MENU] button until the display shows: [DMX MODE – ADDR: xxx]
- Use the [UP] or [DOWN] buttons to set the DMX address and press [ENTER] to confirm.
- The display shows: [DMX MODE – CHAN: xx] → press [UP/DOWN] to select the Channel mode.
- Press [ENTER] to confirm: press [UP/DOWN] to select the Dimmer speed → LED or Halogen.
- Press [ENTER] to confirm: press [UP/DOWN] to select the desired dimmer curve.
- Press [ENTER] to confirm: the projector is ready to be used in DMX mode.

Some more information on DMX512:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to “daisy chain” your DMX controller and all the connected light effects with a good quality XLR M/F balanced cable. To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply won’t work. Each effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the controller it has to decode.

EXCHANGING A GOBO
The logo projector accepts metal gobos, glass gobos and self-printed gobos (laser printer *). GOBO SIZE: Ø 25,7mm / IMAGE SIZE: Ø 19mm

Turn the GOBO LOCK knob (13) over 90° counterclockwise.
Gently pull the GOBO HOLDER (14) upward to remove it from the housing.
Remove the fixation ring of the gobo. You can do this easily with a small screwdriver.
Remove the gobo and insert the new gobo with the black side facing the back of the projector.
Press the fixation-ring together and insert it in front of the gobo.
Make sure that the end of the fixation ring locks in the groove of the gobo holder.
Press the GOBO HOLDER (14) gently back in the housing
Turn the GOBO LOCK knob (13) over 90° clockwise.
Done!
Note: if you want to print the gobos yourself, please download the instructions from the product page on our website. (www.jb-systems.eu )

MAINTENANCE

Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing.
Switch off the unit, unplug the mains cable and wait until the unit has been cooled down.
During the inspection the following points should be checked:
All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and may not be corroded.
Housings, fixations and installation spots (ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any deformation.
When an optical lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be replaced.
The main cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a small problem is detected.
In order to protect the device from overheating the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be cleaned monthly.
The interior of the device should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause a greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.
Clean with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning products.
Always dry the parts carefully.

Attention: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified personnel!
