This product conforms to the European Community Directives:
– Low voltage directive 2014/35/EU – Electromagnetic Compatibility 2014/30/EU
WARNING: Disconnect the fixture from mains before you remove any cover of the fixture. With a high voltage you can suffer a dangerous electric shock when touching alive wires and electrical parts under covers!
Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than listed on the specification plate of the fixture. This fixture should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the specification plate. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied, consult your authorized distributor or local power company.
Always disconnect the fixture from AC power before cleaning, removing or installing the fuse, or any part. The power plug has to be accessible after installing the fixture. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or electric shock. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this fixture where the cord may be damaged by persons walking on it. Make sure that the power cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Check the fixture and the power cord from time to time. Refer servicing to qualified technician!
ATTENTION: This fixture falls under protection class I. Therefore this fixture has to be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

Do not connect this fixture to a dimmer pack.
During the initial start-up some smoke or smell may arise. This is a normal process and does not necessarily mean that the device is defective. Do not touch the device’s housing bare hands during its operation (housing becomes hot)!
For replacement use a fuse of same type and rating only. It’s a SMD fuse soldered on the head board. Refer servicing to qualified technicians!
CAUTION: EYE DAMAGE! Do not look into the light source for an extended period of time. This may be harmful to the eyes. Warning: potentially hazardous radiation – risk group 2 based on DIN EN 62471
If the fixture has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.
If the P18 Profile MK2 is operated below 20° the gobo / prism changing and the gobo / prism rotation is reduced in speed. This is a protective mechanism of the P18 Profile MK2 because at low temperatures, the lubricant is relatively tough in the rotation effects and thus can cause a “swallow” of the effect. From 21° internal temperature of the headlight is running normally! This temperature is reached quickly after a short operation time!
Do not shake the fixture. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the fixture.
This fixture was designed for indoor use only, do not expose this unit to rain or use near water.
When choosing the installation spot, please make sure that the fixture is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust.
Air vents and slots in the fixture´s head and base are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the device and to protect it from overheating.
Do not block the front objective lens with any object when the fixture is under operation.
The openings should never be covered with cloth or other materials, and never must be blocked. The fixture becomes hot during operation.
Allow the fixture to cool approximately 20 minutes prior to manipulate with it. This fixture should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.
Only operate the fixture after having checked that the housing is firmly closed and all screws are tightly fastened.
Always use a secondary safety cable when mounting this fixture. Make sure that the area below the installation place is blocked when rigging, disassembling or servicing the fixture.
ATTENTION: Allow a fixture distance of at least 1 metres from easily flammable material and the distance between the light emission and the surface to be illuminated must be at least 4 meters.
The maximum ambient temperature 45°C must never be exceeded.
ATTENTION: The lens has to be replaced when it is obviously damaged, so that its function is impaired, e. g. due to cracks or deep scratches!
Operate the device only after having familiarized with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not qualified for operating the device. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation!
Please use the original packaging or special designed flight cases if the device is to be transported.
ATTENTION: To avoid damage of the internal parts of the fixture head, never let the sunlight lights directly to the front lens, even when the fixture is not working!
