INSTALLATION

The Showlite Stage Bar LED-lighting effect is designed as a floor effect or for overhead rigging on stages, in discotheques, theatres, etc. During installation consider all necessary safety instructions especially EN 60598-2-17 and national standards. Please note: for overhead rigging in public or industrial areas, a series of safety instructions have to be considered. This manual can only give a survey and does not list complete instructions.
Installation must only be done by authorized and experienced operators.

Overhead rigging

Important! Overhead rigging must only be done by authorized and experienced operators. Always install an appropriate safety bond.
You must only use safety bonds and quick
links complying with DIN 56927, shackles complying with DIN EN 1677-1, and BGV C1 carbines. All devices must be sufficiently dimensioned and used correctly in accordance to the latest industrial safety regulations.
The installation of the device has o be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harmful deformation.
The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20 cm.
A safety bond that already held the strain of a crash or which is defective must not be used again.

Power connection and DMX

After saving installation (floor or overhead) please connect the power cable to the net voltage as listed in the technical data. You can operate the lighting device by an external OMX controller or by internal preset programs. If using an OMX controller connect the controller OMX-OUT with the lighting OMX-IN. To connect several lighting effects set up an OMX loop by connecting OMX-OUT of the first device with OMX-IN of the second device and so on.
