1. SAFETY
1.1 General
Personal protection
Take care of the following warnings and cautions:
WARNING:Ensure you understand and follow all the safety guidelines, safety instructions, warnings and
cautions mentioned in this manual.
WARNING:Be aware of suspended loads.
WARNING:Wear a hard hat to reduce the risk of personal injury.
WARNING:Be careful while working with heavy loads.
WARNING:Mind your ngers while working with heavy loads.
CAUTION:High pressure lamp may explode if improperly handled.
1.2 Important safety instructions
To prevent the risk of electrical shock
 This product should be operated from a mono phase AC power source. Power input voltage range must be between 200-240
V,10A 50/60Hz
Warning: This apparatus must be grounded (earthed) via the supplied 3 conductor AC power cable.
Mount a plug to the delivered power cord but take care of the local regulations about power cords and power plugs. Do not
defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.
 Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where persons will walk on the cord. To disconnect
the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
 If an extension cord is used with this product, make sure that the total of the ampere ratings on the products plugged into the
extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.
 Use only the power cord supplied with your device. While appearing to be similar, other power cords have not been safety
tested at the factory and may not be used to power the device. For a replacement power cord, contact your dealer.
 Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out
parts that could result in a risk of re or electrical shock.
 Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the set and have it
checked by qualied service personnel before resuming operations.
 Lightning - For added protection for this video product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the device due to lightning and AC power-line surges.
 Do not guide the power cord over the base unit of the device. Ensure that the power cord cannot make contact with moving
head.

To prevent personal injury
 When power is supplied to the device, the device starts a homing procedure which includes a movement of the head.
 When opening one of the shell covers of the projector head while power is supplied to the device, the movement of the head
(pan and tilt) is blocked by the software.
 To reduce the lamp heat of the projector head, switch the device rst to standby and let the projector lamp cool down for at least
5 minutes. Then the device may be disconnected from the power outlet.
 Isolated electrically before re-lamping. Caution : hot lamps.
 The customer should never attempt to disassemble the lamp casing. See "Recycling guidelines", page 8 for more information
about handling a used lamp.
 To prevent injury and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before inserting the lamp c asing,
connecting to the wall outlet or adjusting the projector.
 To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector. Minimum 2 persons are needed to lift up the device. No twist is
allowed. When lifting out of the ight case, a 3rd person has to push away the ight case while the rst 2 are lifting up the
device.
 To prevent injury, ensure that the lens and all cover plates are correctly installed. See installation procedures.
 Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens ! High luminance could result in injury to the eye.
 Before attempting to remove any of the devices covers, you must disconnect from the wall outlet.
 When performing setup work to a ceiling mounted device, to prevent injury caused by falling objects or the system, set out a
keep out area.
 Consult a professional structural engineer prior to suspending the device from a structure not intended for that use. Always
ensure that the working load limit of the structure can handle the load of the device.
 The power input at the base of the device is considered as the disconnect device. When required to switch off the device, to
access parts inside, always disconnect the power cord at the base of the device. In case the power input at the base of the
device is not accessible (e.g. ceiling mount), the socket outlet supplying the device shall be installed nearby the device and be
easily accessible, or a readily accessible general disconnect device shall be incorporated in the xed wiring.
 Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious damage to it and
possible injury to the user.
 When mounting the device to the ceiling or to a rigging system, always mount the delivered security cables and connectors.
Before mounting the security cable, inspect the cable and connector. Do not use when visible damage is detected.
Stretch the security cable completely. If necessary, turn the security cable a few times around the truss before closing the
connection so that the cable is stretched as much as possible.
Connector may not be mounted under bending stress.
 It is hazardous to operate without lens or shield. Shields, lenses or utra-vilolet screens shall be changed if they have become
visible damaged to such an extent that their effectiveness is impaired. For example by cracks or deep scratches.
Mercury Vapor Warnings: Keep the following warnings in mind when using the projector. The lamp used in the projector
contains mercury. In case of a lamp rupture, explosion there will be a mercury vapor emission. In order to minimize the potential
risk of inhaling mercury vapors:
- Ensure the projector is installed only in ventilated rooms.
- Replace the lamp module before the end of its operational life.
- Promptly ventilate the room after a lamp rupture, explosion has occurred, evacuate the room (particularly in case of a preg-
nant woman).
- Seek medical attention if unusual health conditions occur after a lamp rupture, explosion, such as headache, fatigue, short-
ness of breath, chest-tightening coughing or nausea.
Cooling liquid circuit. The device head contains a cooling circuit lled with Blue antifreeze diluted 1,2 ethanediol (1/3 ethane-
diol  2/3 Demi water).
When the cooling circuit leaks, switch off the device and contact a service technician.
The liquid is not for household use. Keep out of reach of children. Harmful by oral intake. Avoid exposure to pregnant women.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid inhale of the noxious fumes.
Restricted Access Location The DML must be installed in a Restricted Access Location, where access can only be gained
by persons who have been instructed about the reasons for the restriction applied to the location and about the precautions
that shall be taken.
Reasons for the applied restrictions: moving head in all directions, air outlet can reach high temperatures and light output may
cause eye injury when looking directly into the lens.
Maximum temperature of enclosure : 90°C (194 °F)
