SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION!

Be careful with your operations. With a dangerous voltage you can suffer a dangerous electric shock when touching the wires!

This device has left our premises in absolutely perfect condition. In order to maintain this condition and to ensure a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to follow the safety instructions and warning notes written in this user manual.

Important:
Damages caused by the disregard of this user manual are not subject to warranty. The dealer will not accept liability for any resulting defects or problems.

• If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.
• Please make sure that there are no obvious transport damages. Should you notice any damages on the A/C connection cable or on the casing, do not take the device into operation and immediately consult your local dealer.
• This device falls under protection class I. The CEE plug must only be plugged into a CEE outlet. The voltage and frequency must exactly be the same as stated on the device. Wrong voltages or power outlets can lead to the destruction of the device and to mortal electrical shock.
• Always plug in the power supply CEE plug last. The power plug must always be inserted without force. Make sure that the plug is tightly connected to the outlet.
• Never let the power cord come into contact with other cables! Handle the power cord and all connections with the mains with particular caution! Never touch them with wet hands, as this could lead to mortal electrical shock.
• Never modify, bend, strain mechanically, put pressure on, pull or heat up the power cord. Never operate next to sources of heat or cold. Disregarding can lead to power cord damage, fire or mortal electrical shock.
• The cable insert or the female part in the device must never be strained. There must always be sufficient cable to the device.
• Otherwise, the cable may be damaged which may lead to mortal damage.
• Make sure that the power cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Check the device and the power cord from time to time.
• If extension cords are used, make sure that the core diameter is sufficient for the required power consumption of the device.
• All warnings concerning the power cords are also valid for possible extension cords.
• Always disconnect from the mains, when the device is not in use or before cleaning it. Only handle the power cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power cord. Otherwise, the cable or plug can be damaged leading to mortal electrical shock. If the power plug or the power switch is not accessible, the device must be disconnected via the mains.
• If the power plug or the device is dusty, the device must be taken out of operation, disconnected and then be cleaned with a dry cloth. Dust can reduce the insulation which may lead to mortal electrical shock. More severe dirt in and at the device should only be removed by a specialist.
• There must never enter any liquid into power outlets, extension cords or any holes in the housing of the device. If you suppose that also a minimal amount of liquid may have entered the device, it must immediately be disconnected. This is also valid if the device was exposed to high humidity. Also if the device is still running, the device must be checked by a specialist if the liquid has reduced any insulation. Reduced insulation can cause mortal electrical shock.
• There must never be any objects entering the device. This is especially valid for metal parts. If any metal parts like staples or coarse metal chips enter the device, the device must be taken out of operation and disconnected immediately.
• Malfunctions or short circuits caused by metal parts may cause mortal injuries.
• The total weight of the installation (=total weight of all individual parts) must never exceed the maximum load of the installation area.
• Keep away, children and amateurs!
• Never leave this device running unattended.

OPERATING DETERMINATIONS

• This device is a power distributor for supplying current to other devices.
• This product is only allowed to be operated with an alternating voltage of 380-400 V, 50 Hz and was designed for indoor use only.
• This device is designed for mobile use via a lighting stand and for permanent installations via trussing system.
• The maximum power consumption of this device must never be exceeded.
• When choosing the installation spot, please make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust.
• There should not be any cables lying around. You endanger your own and the safety of others!
• This device must never be operated or stockpiled in surroundings where splash water, rain, moisture or fog may harm the device. Moisture or very high humidity can reduce the insulation and lead to mortal electrical shocks.
• When using smoke machines, make sure that the device is never exposed to the direct smoke jet and is installed in a distance of 0.5 meters between smoke machine and device.
• The ambient temperature must always be between -5° C and +45° C. Keep away from direct insulation (particularly in cars) and heaters.
• The relative humidity must not exceed 50 % with an ambient temperature of 45° C.
• This device must only be operated in an altitude between -20 and 2000 m over NN.
• The ambient contamination must never exceed level 1 and must not be conducting, only dry.
• Never use the device during thunderstorms. Over voltage could destroy the device. Always disconnect the device during thunderstorms.
• Make sure that the area below the installation place is blocked when rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture.
• Operate the device only after having familiarized with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not qualified for operating the device. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation!
• Never use solvents or aggressive detergents in order to clean the device! Rather use a soft and damp cloth. Please use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
• Inspection deadlines according to DGUV-V3 for electrical resources must be complied with.
• Please consider that unauthorized modifications on the device are forbidden due to safety reasons!
• If this device will be operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the product may suffer damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to dangers like short-circuit, burns, electric shock, crash etc.
