Intended use

The product LightmaXX Vector Shaft 7R was designed for use as an electronic lighting effect. The device may only be operated for this purpose and in accordance with the operating instructions. Other purposes as well as operation under other operating conditions are expressly not intended and can lead to damage to property or personal injury! No liability is assumed for damage resulting from improper use.
It must be ensured that the device is operated exclusively by trained and competent users who are in full possession of their mental, physical and sensory abilities. The use of other persons is expressly only permitted at the request of a person responsible for their safety, who instructs or supervises the use.

Safety instructions

  • DANGER! (For babies and children)
    Packaging, plastic foils and other packaging material is to be properly stored or disposed of. It must be disposed of due to risk of suffocation outside the reach of babies and children to be kept in a safe place.
    Make sure that children never use the appliance unattended! In addition, make sure that children do not remove any (small) parts from the device, as they could suffocate by swallowing them!

  • DANGER! (electric shock due to high voltages in the device)
    Do not remove the housing. There are no parts to be serviced inside the device. Inside the device there are components which are under high electrical voltage.
    The device must not be used as soon as damage or the absence of com-ponents, protective devices or housing parts is noticed!

  • DANGER! (Electric shock due to short circuit)
    Modifications to the mains cable or the mains plug are prohibited. Failure to do so may result in fire or death due to electric shock!

  • WARNING! (High light intensity – eye injuries)
    A direct view into the light source must be avoided at all times.

  • WARNING! (Epilepsy)
    Stroboscopic effects (flashes of light) can cause seizures of epilepsy in some people. Accordingly sensitive people are to be warned and should avoid looking at such effects.

  • NOTE! (Fire hazard)
    Make sure that the device is not exposed to any direct heat source and is used away from open fire. Never block or cover ventilation slots or the device itself.

  • NOTE! (Operating conditions)
    Due to its structural characteristics, the device is designed for indoor use. Do not expose the device to rain, moisture or liquids, as this can cause damage. Vibrations, dirt or sunlight can also lead to damage, avoid them!

  • NOTE! (Power supply)
    Make sure that the device voltage matches your local mains voltage. It is strongly recommended to protect your mains socket with a residual current circuit breaker (RCD).
    Due to the Power Twist input and output, a maximum of 4 Vector Shaft 7R can be connected to the 1st device and supplied with power.
    If you do not use your device for a longer period of time, disconnect the device from the mains to minimize dangers. The same applies to thunderstorms or floods, etc.

  • WARNING! (Mobile device)
    Due to its structural characteristics, the device is able to perform fast mo- vements (inclination and rotation). This applies from the moment the unit is switched on until it is switched off. Before switching on the device, make sure that there are no persons directly at the device and that the range of movement of the device is not restricted in any way.
    If work is carried out in the immediate vicinity of the product, the product must remain switched off!

Installation

Always check the device for damage before use. Use the original packaging or suitable transport or storage packaging to protect the product optimally from influences such as dust or moisture, etc. when not in use.
The device can be installed either standing or hanging. The mounting must always be done on a solid, approved support or an appropriate surface. Use the opening of the brackets to attach the device. Always create a second, separate safeguard for the device, e.g. by means of a safety wire.
All work on the device (e.g. installation) should always be carried out from a stable and approved platform. Make sure that the area below you is closed off.

Please note that the use of this device with a dimmer is not possible!

  • WARNING! (Risk of injury from falling)
    It must be ensured that the device complies with all legal standards and regula-tions in the respective country of use. Ensure that the device is always secured by a second mounting cable (e.g. Safety).

  • NOTE! (Overheating)
    The maximum permissible ambient temperature of this device is 40° C. Ensure that the unit is always adequately ventilated.

Commissioning

All connections of the device should be made before switching on. Only use high-quality cables that are as short as possible for the connections.

Mounting option

  • This device can be positioned and fi xed in all directions of the stage by a clamp. The locking system facilitates attachment to the bracket.
  • Note! Two clamps are required to secure the unit. Each clamp is secu- red by a 1/4 lock. The lock can only be locked clockwise.
  • Note! Always attach a safety cable with suffi cient load-bearing capacity to the additional opening of the mounting block.
  • Check whether the fastening clip is damaged. Ensure that the architecture can withstand ten times the weight of all equipment, clamps, wiring and other additional devices.
  • Clamping screws must be fi rmly tightened. Use an M12 screw (strength class 8.8 or higher) to secure the clamp, then tighten the nuts.
  • Align the two suspension points on the underside of the clamp. Fasten the lock at the bot-tom, lock the two levers by turning them 1/4 clockwise. Then install the other clamp.
  • Install a safety cable with suffi cient load-bearing capacity.
  • Make sure that the pan/tilt lock is not locked. Maintain a distance of more than 12M between the light source and combustible materials.
