POWER SUPPLY

On the label on the backside of the unit is indicated on this type of power supply must be connected. Check that the mains voltage corresponds to this, all other voltages than specified, the light effect can be irreparably damaged. The product must also be directly connected to the mains and may be used. No dimmer or adjustable power supply.
The unit has a power connector output on board. Depending on the local conditions several units can be linked by power connector in- and output. Connect a maximum of four (when using 230V/16A) units in a row. Use an approved three-core cable with a cross-section of at least 1.5 mm². The installation instructions of the manufacturer and the colour coding of the cable must be observed. Do not turn off the unit by turning the power connector but use the power on/off switch or schuko!

WARNING
Always connect the unit to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the unit has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.

RIGGING

In temporary installations, you can suspend the fixture from a rigging truss by means of a rigging clamp that is approved for the weight of the fixture securely fastened through the hole in the center of the bracket (A). The fixture must be installed hanging vertically downwards only. When using a rigging clamp, secure the fixture with a safety cable, that is approved for the weight of the fixture so that the safety cable will hold the fixture if the rigging clamp fails. Remove as much slack as possible from the safety cable (by looping it more than once around the truss chord, for example). Check that the truss and all fasteners used can support 10 times the weight of all the fixtures and equipment that they will support.
When carrying out any installation, always comply European and national guidelines concerning rigging, truss and all other safety issues. Always let the installation checked out by an authorized dealer!

MOUNTING ON A SURFACE

To anchor the mounting bracket to a wall or other flat surface, use three high-strength corrosion-resistant fasteners that are safe for the application. Use selflocking nuts! Install washers under all nuts and bolt heads. Make sure that there is a washer between each fastener and the bracket. Ensure that the surface and all fasteners used can support 10 times the weight of all the fixtures and equipment that they will support.
Fasten the center of the bracket with a 10 mm (25/64inch) shaft diameter bolt in the center hole A. Then use two bolts with 8 mm (5/16 inch) shaft diameter passing through the curved slots B to anchor the fixture. This setup will give approximately 90° of pan adjustment.

DMX512 CONTROL

If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the first unit in a DMX chain. Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next unit until all units are connected.

CAUTION
At the last unit, you must close the DMX line with a terminating resistor. Take an XLR connector and solder a 120 Ohm resistor between signal (-) and signal (+) and connect it to the DMX output of the last unit in the line.

PROTECTION CLASS IP65

Units with protection class IP65 are dust-tight and completely protected against contact (first code number). They are also protected against splash water from any angle (second code digit). That is why this unit can also be used out‐ doors. Events units are generally only designed for temporary use however (event lighting) and not for permanent use outdoors. The specified protection class does not make a statement about the weather resistance of the units (resistance to changing ambient conditions as well as against the effects of sunlight and UV rays). The seals and screw connections of the units must be checked regularly to ensure a fault-free operation.
