Installation

General Guidelines

• Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting all applicable norms.
• Install the device on an even, fire-resistant, scratch-resistant, water-resistant and non-slippery surface.
• The carrying construction must be able to support 10 times the weight of the device for 1 hour without deforming.
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 1 m radius of the device.
• Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
• Install the device in a location where you can easily access the power cord.
• Install the device in a well-ventilated area.

Overhead Installation

• When hung, the device must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.
• Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a qualified technician check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.
• Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, determining the installation material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may result in injuries.
• For truss mounting, use an appropriate clamp (not incl.) and fit an M10 bolt through the centre of the (folded) bracket.

Secondary Suspension

Hanger

• Where a hanger is provided, the bearing parts of the hanger shall be capable of supporting ten (10) times the weight of the luminaire without permanent deformation and shall be manufactured from non-combustible materials such as steel or its equivalent.

Accessories

• The design of the luminaire shall be such that removable accessories, e.g. colour frames and barn doors, when properly inserted, cannot fall out of the luminaire.

Secondary Suspension

• A secondary suspension shall be provided for the luminaire, except where the luminaire is arranged for floor mounting or if it is intended for handheld use. The secondary suspension shall be designed and mounted in such a way that in the event of a failure of the primary suspension, no part of the luminaire can fall. The secondary suspension must withstand a 30 cm vertical drop for 30 times.

Connection

• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. All devices must be powered directly off a grounded switched circuit. Do not connect to a dimmer pack.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.

Overview

Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.

Operation

The device can be used in the following modes:

• stand-alone mode
• master/slave
• with a DMX-512 controller.

Control Panel

• Access the control panel functions using the four-panel buttons located around the display.

Stand-Alone Mode

• The device starts running in stand-alone mode after connection to the mains. This mode allows you to use the device without controller.

Master/Slave Mode

• The master/slave mode allows for connecting several devices to a single master device in a daisy chain.
• All slave devices will then work synchronously with the master device.
• Configure all slave units before connecting the master unit to the daisy chain.

DMX Mode

The DMX mode allows you to control the device with any universal DMX controller.

• All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the signals. This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to the DMX controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an individual address can be set for every device.
• When all devices have the same address, all the units will “listen” to the control signal on one particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices simultaneously. If you set individual addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.

DMX Channel Values

• Refer to page 3 of this manual.
