Safety Instructions

CAUTION: Disconnect the device from the power supply before opening the device. Touching live parts can cause an electric shock.
Make sure that the mains voltage to be connected is not higher than the voltage indicated on the type plate. This device should only be operated with the power source specified on the type plate.
If you are not sure what type of power supply you have, contact your dealer or your power company.
Always disconnect the device from the power supply before carrying out cleaning work, changing fuses or replacing parts.
The mains plug must always be accessible after installation of the spotlight. Do not overload the sockets or extension cords under any circumstances, as this could lead to fire or electric shock. Do not place any objects on the power cord. Do not install the  spotlight in such a way that people can trip over the power cord or step on it. Make sure that the power cord can never be crushed or damaged by sharp edges. Check the unit and the power cord from time to time
Always leave maintenance work to a qualified technician.
ATTENTION: This light corresponds to protection class 1 (Germany)Therefore this light must be connected to a mains socket with earthing contact.
Never connect this device to a dimmable power source.
Some smoke and odour may be produced during the initial start-up. This is a normal procedure and does not necessarily mean that the device is defective.
The device becomes hot during operation. Never touch the device with bare hands during operation!
When replacing fuses, use only fuses of the same type with identical values. Have fuses replaced only by a qualified technician.
ATTENTION: EYE DAMAGE! Do not look into the light source for a long time during operation. This can be harmful to the eyes. Possibly dangerous radiation.
If the device was exposed to strong temperature fluctuations (e.g. after transport), the device must not be switched on immediately. The resulting condensation water can damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.
Do not shake or bump the device. Avoid brute force during installation or operation.
This spotlight was designed for indoor use only. Do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.
When choosing the mounting location, make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat, humidity or dust.
Ventilation openings and slits in the head and foot of the headlamp serve for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the device and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be covered.
Never cover the front lens when the headlight is in use.
The openings should never be covered with fabrics or other objects so that the airways are blocked.
This unit must not be operated in an environment without adequate ventilation.
The unit may only be operated when the housing is closed and all screws / omega head screws are tightened.
The device must always be secured with an additional safety device.
Make sure that the area underneath the spotlight is clear during installation, conversion and dismantling.
ATTENTION: The distance between the light emission and the illuminated surface must be at least 2.0 meters.
The front lens must be replaced if it is visibly damaged so that its function is impaired, e.g. by cracks or deep scratches!
To avoid damage to the internal parts of the lamp head, never let sunlight shine directly into the front lens.

The maximum ambient temperature of 45°C must not be exceeded.
Do not operate the device until you have familiarized yourself with its functions. Prevent operation by persons who are not qualified to use the device. Most damage is the result of improper operation!
Please use the original packaging or specially adapted flight cases when transporting the device.

Unpacking the device

Contents of the package: The headlight, a Power Con connection cable and Omega brackets for mounting.
Open the packaging carefully on the top side and check the headlight and accessories for possible transport damages. These should be reported immediately to the transport company.

Installation

The device comes with a ready made-up Power on connection cable. Please use only the supplied cable or a cable of the same type assembled by a specialist. The connection of the device to the power supply must also be carried out by an authorized specialist.
Connection in Germany/Europe:

Connected loads: voltage 100-240 V, frequency 50 – 60 Hz, power max. 260W, 1.2A
The electrical safety as well as the function of the device is only guaranteed if it is connected to a properly installed protective conductor system. It is very important that this basic safety requirement is present. In case of doubt, have the electrical installation checked by a specialist. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by a missing or interrupted protective conductor (e.g. electric shock)! Only use the device in a completely assembled state so that no electrical components can be touched. (danger 100-240 V) If you have observed the listed points, you can plug in the devices or have them connected to the mains by a specialist.
ATTENTION: The spotlight may light up immediately if standalone operation is activated or a DMX signal is applied!

DMX Connection

The DMX cabling (signal lines) should be done with a 2-wire cable with shielding. We recommend a DMX cable with 110 Ohm, 2×0,22mm2or 4×0,22mm2. The plugs and sockets are 3-pin XLR-connectors, which can be purchased in specialized shops.
Pin assignment:
Pin1 = Ground / Shielding
Pin2 = DMX Pin3 = DMX+
Pin3 = DMX +

The spotlight has a DMX-in and DMX-out connection. Now connect the DMX output of your controller to the first spotlight (Controller DMX-Out -> Spotlight DMX- In). Then connect the first spotlight with the second spotlight and so on. In some cases it is advisable to plug in an end plug/end resistor (XLR plug with a resistor of 120 Ohm between pin 2 and pin 3). Whether or not an end plug is required depends on various factors, including the cable lengths used and the number of units. However, as long as there are no problems in the DMX line, it is not necessary.

Assembly of the devices

Warning: There must be a 0.5m safety distance between the light source and flammable material and a minimum distance of 2.0m between the light source and the surface to be illuminated.
The spotlight can either be positioned or suspended from a truss system. Horizontal mounting to the truss is also permitted.
If you place the unit on the floor, you may only operate the unit on a hard surface, as the air inlets in the foot must remain free!
To hang the unit on a truss system, use the Omega-Clamps with snap connectors supplied.
Make sure that the snap connectors engage securely. Make sure that the truss construction on which you mount the device complies with the safety regulations. When installing a truss, always secure the spotlight with a safety device that complies with the national regulations.
Use the safety eyelet on the device for this purpose.

Service and cleaning

ATTENTION: Always disconnect the device from the voltage source before opening it!
You should check the function of the fans in the head and foot at regular intervals. Above all, you should make sure that the air intakes as well as the inside of the spotlight are free of lint and dust.
To do this, open the head cover and the base plate at the foot. You can clean the spotlight with a brush/cleaning cloth and a vacuum cleaner or compressor (low speed only).
Take care not to bend or damage any parts during cleaning. After cleaning is complete, close all covers again with the corresponding screws and carry out a function test.
Please use only clean cleaning cloths or brushes and cleaning agents without alcohol to clean your device. We recommend regular cleaning at least every three months.
Pay attention to damage to the device, parts of the device and the connection cables. If you notice any damage, DO NOT use the device and take it to an authorized dealer to exclude dangers by using defective devices and to repair your device professionally.
