Please read these instructions carefully and follow the instructions.
Observe all safety warnings. Never remove safety warnings or other information from the equipment.
Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked; otherwise the unit will overheated.

WARNING! Before connecting the equipment to the power outlet, first verify that the mains voltage and frequency match the values specified on the equipment. If the equipment has a voltage selection switch, connect the equipment to the power outlet only if the equipment values and the mains power values match. If the included power cord or power adapter does not fit in your wall outlet, contact your electrician.

After connecting the unit, check all cables in order to prevent damage or accidents, e.g., due to tripping hazards.
Make sure that the power cord is never crimped or damaged. Check the unit and the power cord from time to time.
Always disconnect power from the mains, when unit is not used or before cleaning! Only handle the power cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power cord.
Unplug the power cord and power adapter from the power outlet if there is a risk of a lightning strike or before extended periods of disuse.
Do not switch the unit on and off in short intervals.
Do not connect the unit to a dimmer pack.
Install the unit in a well ventilated place.
Never place any material over the lens.
Never let the sunlight lights directly to the front lens , even when the unit is not working.
Always allow free air space of at least 50 cm around the unit for ventilation.
Make sure that the area below the installation place is blocked when rigging, derigging or servicing the unit.
For mounting height >100 cm, always fix the unit with an appropriate safety-rope. Fix the safety-rope at the correct fixation points only. The safety-rope must never be fixed at the transport handles!
Never look directly at the light beam. Please note that fast changes in lighting, e. g. flashing light, may trigger epileptic seizures in photosensitive persons or persons with epilepsy.
This unit is not designed for permanent operation. Consistent operation breaks will ensure that the unit will serve you for a long time without defects.

WARNING! If the power cord of the unit is equipped with an earthing contact, then it must be connected to an outlet with a protective ground. Never deactivate the protective ground of a power cord.

Make sure that the unit is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust.
Clean the unit using a dry cloth.
Do not touch the unit bare-handed during its operation (housing becomes very hot). Allow the unit to cool for at least 5 minutes before handling.
This unit is designed exclusively for indoor use, do not use this equipment in the immediate vicinity of fluid (does not apply to special outdoor equipment – in this case, observe the special instructions noted below). Do not expose this unit to flammable materials, fluids or gases.
If the unit has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your unit. Leave the unit switched off until it has reached room temperature.
Never attempt to bypass the thermostatic switch or fuses.
Do not dismantle or modify the unit.
For replacement use fuses/bulb of same type and rating only.
Repairs, servicing and electric connection must be carried out by a qualified technician.
The ambient temperature must always be between -5° C and +45° C.
If this unit is operated in any other way, than the one described in this manual, the product may suffer damages and the warranty becomes void.
Plastic bags must be kept out of reach of children.
Unit must be installed out of the reach of children. Never leave the unit running unattended.

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 packing material for inspection if any parts appear damage 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 arising 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 power connector 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.

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.

Step 4: Replace the fuse holder in the housing.

MAINTENANCE

This unit is virtually maintenance-free, but you should check the unit regularly for mechanical and electrical aspects.
Assess the operating environment and establish an inspection and cleaning schedule that follows the guidelines below:

Disconnect the unit from the power supply and allow it to cool completely before inspecting and cleaning.
Check that the screws and bolts used to install the unit are securely tightened and free from corrosion.
Check the housing, fixing points and installation points, they must not show any signs of deformation, wear or fatigue.
Check the mechanically moving parts, these must not show any signs of wear or fatigue.
Check the electrical power and signal cables, they must not show any damage or fatigue.
Do not use solvents, abrasives or other aggressive products to clean the unit.
Wipe the unit and clean the glass plate with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth moistened with a weak cleaning solution. Place the solution on the cloth and not on the surface to be cleaned. Avoid rubbing glass surfaces.
Dry the unit, connectors and contacts with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air before re-powering the unit.
