UNPACKING INSTRUCTION

caution

Immediately upon receiving the product, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain the packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the package itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the package and all packing materials. In the event that the product must be returned to the factory, it is important that the product be returned in the original factory box and packing. If the unit has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The rising condensation water might damage your unit. Leave the unit switched off until it has reached room temperature

Power supply

The label on the backside of the unit indicates the mains voltage to which it must be connected. Check that the mains voltage corresponds to this. Any other voltage than the one indicated may cause irreparable damage to the unit. The unit must also be connected directly to the mains voltage and no dimmer or adjustable power supply may be used. The unit has a power connector output on board. Depending on the local conditions several units can be linked by powerconnector 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

The unit may be set up on a stable and even surface. By means of the fixing facilities of the baseplate, the unit can also be mounted upside down to a truss, see below picture. For fixing, certified clamps with correct save working load are required. According to the figure, the quick lock bolts of the omega brackets are placed into the openings provided in the base plate and turned clockwise until they lock (to the stop). The mounting place must be of sufficient stability and be able to support a weight of 10 times of the unit’s weight. Secure the unit with a safety cable so that it cannot fall down. When carrying out any installation, always comply with European and national guidelines concerning rigging, truss and all other safety issues. Always let the installation checked out by an authorized dealer!

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 .

Cleaning

The buildup of dust, dirt and other airborne particles will reduce the unit’s light output. It will also prevent the unit from cooling correctly, and this will reduce the unit’s lifetime. The rate of dirt buildup will vary depending on environmental factors such as airborne dust, use of smoke machines, airflow from ventilation systems, etc. The unit’s cooling fans will accelerate buildup, and any smoke particles that are present in the atmosphere will increase the tendency for dirt to clog.
To get the best performance and lifetime from the unit, inspect it regularly and clean it as soon as you see signs of dirt buildup. Assess the operating environment each time you begin to use the unit. In dusty or smoky conditions, inspect the unit after a few hours and check it frequently the unit may attract dirt faster than you expect. Draw up a cleaning schedule that will make sure that dirt is removed before it can build up. Use the following guidelines:

• Disconnect the unit from power and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Do not use solvents, abrasives or any other aggressive product to clean the unit.
• Vacuum or use low-pressure compressed air to remove dust and loose particles from surfaces and air vents. Prevent the blades of cooling fans from turning before you aim a vacuum or air jet at the fan, or you may spin the fan too fast and damage it.
• Clean glass components by wiping gently with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth moistened with a weak detergent solution. Put the solution on the cloth and not on the surface to be cleaned. Avoid rubbing glass surfaces.
• Dry the unit with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air before reapplying power.

REPLACING THE FUSE

If the fuse is defective, replace the fuse with a fuse of the same type and value. Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.

Procedure:

• Step 1: Open the fuse holder on the rear panel with a fitting screwdriver.
• Step 2: Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder.
• Step 3: Install the new fuse in the fuse holder.
• Step 4: Replace the fuse holder in the housing.
