IMPORTANT NOTICE BEFORE THE INSTALLATION / INSTALLATION

This fixture is meant for tripod‐mount installation only. No hanging is allowed Before installing this fixture check its weight on the product label and the weight of each accessory you are adding and make sure the structure you are installing it to withstands the total weight. The mounting stirrup is designed to allow the spotlight to be fitted to a suitable tripod or pole.

CAUTION
DO NOT TURN THE LUMINAIRE UPSIDE‐DOWN AND MAKE SURE THE STIRRUP ALWAYS SITS DOWNWARDS

Note: the spotlight’s location must provide suitable ventilation for the LED module.

• If not supplied choose a suitable clamp and make sure it is correctly fixed and strongly tightened to the stirrup according to the clamp’s manufacturer’s instructions
• When tilting the unit make sure the knob blocking the stirrup is strongly tightened and that the luminaire can hold the desired tilt angle

This fixture must be grounded
Ensure the plug conforms to the relevant EU/UL or local electrical standards

To perform a correct wiring, please note that the cores in this mains lead are colour‐coded as follows:
Ground: green + yellow – Neutral: blue ‐ Phase: brown

In case the colours of the wires do not correspond to the colour of the connection points on your plug, please proceed as follows:

• The green or green and yellow wire must be connected to the connection point marked with the letter E or with the symbol  **** or coloured in green or in green‐yellow.
• The blue wire must be connected to the connection point marked with the letter N or coloured in black
• The brown wire must be connected to the connection point marked with the letter L or coloured in red

Before you finally position this product for use, temporarily connect it to a properly fused power supply to check the unit works correctly.

VOLTAGE

Before operating this unit please refer to the product label mounted at the back of the luminaire to check you are operating with the correct voltage. The Astro 100 LED can be operated between 100V and 260 VAC.

FREQUENCY

Frequency on this product is automatically selected by the electronic PSU (50/60Hz)

CONNECT TO THE POWER SUPPLY

• Connect the unit to a continuous mains power source
• Make sure the power supply is protected by a suitable circuit breaker
• This fixture must be grounded

MECHANICAL OPERATION

Focus control: this fixture features a variable beam angle from 10° to 28° which can be controlled through the two control knobs on the right‐hand side of the lens‐tube.
The variable beam is modified by adjusting the front and rear zoom lenses in relation to each other.
The front lens defines the beam spread, the rear lens defines the focus degree of ‘softness’ or ‘hardness’ of the beam edge or shutters.
Gently turn the knobs anti‐clockwise until you have reached the desired size/focus of the beam in relation to the distance you are projecting at.
Turn the knobs clockwise and tightly close them so that the lenses are held in position at any tilt angle
Beam‐sizing: the size of the beam is controlled using the supplied iris diaphragm
Beam‐shaping: 4 accessory shutter blades (see chapter 7. Of this manual) can be fitted to shape the beam
Pan & Tilt control: this unit is fitted with a rear grab handle and a front side bar for an easy and safe control of the pan and tilt angle by the followspot’s operator.
The stirrup is factory‐balanced and fitted with a positive friction clamp controlled by a user‐friendly, effective lever‐knob. Turn the knob anticlockwise to release it, position the followspot at the desired tilt angle and turn the knob clockwise to hold the desired position.
Press the button at the top of the lever and keep it pressed while turning the lever if you need to change its position.
Make sure the knob is softly tightened at any time during operation
