Danger due to electricity

The device is suitable for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Never expose it to rain or moisture. Do not store it in rooms exposed to moisture.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not open any part of the device. There are no serviceable parts inside the device.
Only connect the device to a properly installed mains outlet. The outlet must be protected by residual current breaker (RCD). The voltage and frequency must exactly be the same as stated on the device. If the mains cable is equipped with an earthing contact, then it must be connected to an outlet with a protective ground. Never defeat the protective ground of a mains cable. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and possibly injure the user.
The mains outlet must be easily accessible so that you can unplug the device quickly if need be.
Never touch the mains plug with wet or damp hands. There is the risk of potentially fatal electric shock.
The mains cable must not be bent or squeezed. Keep it away from hot surfaces or sharp edges.
Never pull the mains cable to disconnect the mains plug from the mains outlet, always seize the plug.
Unplug the device during lighting storms, when unused for long periods of time or before cleaning.
Do not expose the device to any high temperatures, direct sunlight, dripping or splashing water, strong vibrations or heavy mechanical stress.
Do not place any objects filled with liquids on the device.

Warning – risk of burns and fire

The admissible ambient temperature range (Ta) is -5 to +45°C. Do not operate the device outside of this temperature range.
The housing temperature (Tc) can be up to 60°C during use. Avoid contact by persons and materials.
Do not illuminate surfaces within 10 cm of the device. This value is indicated on the device by the symbol.
Do not use the device near highly flammable materials. Always place the device at a location where sufficient air circulation is ensured. Leave 50 cm of free space around the device. Never cover the air vents of the housing.

Warning – risk of injuries

Do not look directly at the light source. Persons with light-sensitive epilepsy may suffer from epileptic seizures or fall unconscious.
Make sure that the product is set up or installed safely and expertly and prevented from falling down. Comply with the standards and rules that apply in your country, in particular EN 60598-2-17.
If you lack the qualification, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional installer. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and or damage to property.
The manufacturer cannot be made liable for damages caused by incorrect installations or insufficient safety precautions.
For overhead use, always secure the device with a secondary safety attachment such as a safety bond or safety net.
Make sure that the area below the installation place is blocked when rigging, derigging or servicing the device.
For commercial use the country-specific accident prevention regulations of the government safety organization for electrical facilities must be complied with at all times.

Caution – material damage

This device must not be connected to the mains voltage by means of a dimmer.
Lighting effects are not designed for permanent operation. Consistent operation breaks will ensure that the device will serve you for a long time without defects.
Never switch the device on and off at short intervals. This will considerably reduce the service life of the device.
If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation, do not switch it on immediately. The resulting condensation may destroy the device. Allow the device to reach room temperature before connecting it. Wait until the condensation has evaporated.
Please use the original packaging to protect the device against vibration, dust and moisture during transportation or storage.
If a serial number label is affixed to the device, do not remove the label as this would make the guarantee void.

INSTALLATION

WARNING! Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Devices in overhead installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down. Make sure that the device is installed securely and cannot fall down. The installation must be carried out by a specialist who is familiar with the hazards and the relevant regulations.

The device may be placed on the floor by unfolding the bracket or fastened to a truss or similar rigging structure. The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.

The rigging structure must support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures to be installed on it.
Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform when installing the device.
Use rigging hardware that is compatible with the structure and capable of bearing the weight of the device. Please refer to the “Accessories” section for a list of suitable rigging hardware.
Secure the device with a safety rope or other secondary attachment. This secondary safety attachment must be sufficiently dimensioned in accordance with the latest industrial safety regulations and constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails. An appropriate eyelet is mounted on the device for fixation of the safety rope. Fasten the safety rope in such a way that, in the event of a fall, the maximum drop distance of the device will not exceed 20 cm.
To align the device, release the fixation screws at the mounting bracket, adjust the desired inclination angle and tighten the fixation screws.
After installation, the device requires inspections periodically to prevent the possibility of corrosion, deformation and looseness.

CONNECTIONS

DMX512 Control

Eurolite-LED-PLL-168-CW-WW-Daylight-Spotlight-04

A DMX512 data link is required in order to control the device via DMX. The device provides 3-pin XLR connectors for DMX connection.

Connect the output of your DMX controller to the DMX input DMX IN of the device with a DMX cable.
Connect the DMX output DMX OUT of the device to the DMX input of the next unit in the chain. Always connect one output to the input of the next unit until all units are connected.
At the last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Plug the terminator with a 120 Ω resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) in the DMX output of the last unit.
If the cable length exceeds 300 m or the number of DMX devices is greater than 32, it is recommended to insert a DMX splitter to ensure proper data transmission.

XLR connection:

Wireless DMX transmission QuickDMX

The device features an alternative DMX input for a QuickDMX receiver (sold separately). CRMX and WDMX receivers are compatible and can also be used. The connector allows a DMX control signal to be transmitted wirelessly to the device, eliminating the need for complex wiring to the DMX controller. The connector is designed as a USB port which provides the required 5 V operating voltage for the receiver.
Occupation of the USB port:

POWER SUPPLY

Eurolite-LED-PLL-168-CW-WW-Daylight-Spotlight-05

The device uses an auto-range power supply that accepts input voltages between 100 und 240 volts.

Connect the device via the mains cable to a grounded mains socket. Thus the unit is switched on.
To switch off the unit, disconnect the power plug.
Do not connect the unit to the mains voltage via a dimmer. For a more convenient operation, use a mains outlet which is switchable.
The jack POWER OUT allows for power supply of further devices. To interconnect several devices, connect the jack POWER OUT to the input POWER IN of the next unit until all units are connected. Matching power cables are available as accessories. In this manner, up to 8 devices can be linked at 230/240 input voltage and up to 4 devices at 110/115 input voltage.

OPERATION

After connecting the device to the mains it is ready for operation. The display indicates the last operating mode. The operating modes can be selected by means of the display and the control buttons. All settings remain stored even if the device is disconnected from the mains. The device can be operated in stand-alone mode via the control board and the EUROLITE IR-7 remote control or in DMX-controlled mode via any commercial DMX controller as well as wireless via QuickDMX with the optional available EUROLITE QuickDMX USB Wireless Transmitter/Receiver.
