ation), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage
your device. Leave the deviceswitched off until it has reached room temperature.
Never run the device without lamp!
Do not shake the device.Avoid brute force wheninstalling or operating the device.
Never lift the fixture by holding it at the projector-head,as the mechanics may be
damaged. Always hold the fixture at the transport handles.
When choosing the installation-spot, please make sure that the device is not exposed to
extreme heat, moistureor dust. There should not be any cables lying around.You
endanger yourown and the safety of others!
The minimum distance between light-output and the illuminated surface must be more
than 2 meters.
Make sure that the area below the installation place is blocked when rigging, derigging
or servicing the fixture. Always fixthe fixture with an appropriate safety-rope.Fix the
safety-rope atthe correct holes only.
Only operate the fixture after having checked that the housing is firmly closed and all
screws are tightly fastened.
The lamp must never be ignited if the objective-lens or any housing-cover is open, as
discharge lampsmay explose and emit a high ultraviolet radiation, which may cause
burns.
The maximum ambient temperature ta = 45 must never be exceeded. Otherwise, the
lamp is switched off and the fixture is out of operation for 5 minutes.

the drawing to identify which cover is top) by loosening the 3 screws on the cover. Then
open the small lamp cover by loosening 2 fastening screws (see the drawing). If changing
the lamp, remove the old lamp from the socket. Insert the lamp to the socket. Do not install
a lamp with a higher wattage! A lamp like this generates temperatures the device is not

5.2 Lamp adjust
The lamp holderis alignedat thefactory. Due todifferencesbetween lamps, fine
adjustment may improve lightperformance. Strikethe lamp,open theshutter andthe iris,
set thedimmer intensityonto 100%and focusthe lighton aflat surface(wall).As the
optimum distanceof thelamp fromlens wasadjusted duringthe installingor changingthe
lamp (byturning thescrew "A"), itis necessaryto adjustonly thesecond positionby
turning thescrew "B", inorder tocenter thehot-spot (thebrightest partof thebeam). If
the hotspot seemsto betoo bright,you canlower itsintensity bymoving thelamp closerto
the reflector. Doso byturning thescrew "A" until thelight isevenly distributed.If the
light onthe edgeseems tobe brighteras inthe center, thelamp istoo closeat thereflector.
In thiscase, youneed tomove thelamp awayfrom thereflector untilthe lightis evenly
distributed andthe beamappears brightenough.

5.4 Rigging the fixture
DANGER TO LIFE:Please consider the respective national norms during the
installation!The installation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer!
The installationof theprojector hasto bebuilt andconstructed ina waythat itcan hold10
times theweight for1 hourwithout anyharming deformation.
The installationmust alwaysbe securedwith asecondary safetyattachment, e.g.an
appropriate catchnet. Thissecondary safetyattachment mustbe constructedin away that
no partof theinstallation canfall downif themain attachmentfails.
When rigging,derigging orservicing thefixture stayingin thearea belowthe installation
place, onbridges, underhigh workingplaces andother endangeredareas isforbidden.
The operatorhas tomake surethat safety-relatingand machine-technicalinstallations are
approved byan expertbefore takinginto operationfor thefirst timeand afterchanges
before takinginto operationanother time.
The operatorhas tomake surethat safety-relatingand machine-technicalinstallations are
approved byan expertafter everyfour yearin thecourse ofan acceptancetest.

The projectorshould beinstalled outsideareas wherepersons maywalk byor beseated.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEADRIGGING REQUIRESEXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE,
including (butnot limitedto)calculating workingload limits,installation materialbeing
used, andperiodic safetyinspection ofall installationmaterialand theprojector.If you

systems haveto beused. Theprojector mustnever befixed swingingfreely inthe room.
Caution: Projectors maycause severeinjuries whencrashing down!If youhave doubts
concerning thesafety of a possibleinstallation, doNOT installthe projector!
Before riggingmake surethat theinstallation areacan holda minimumpoint loadof 10
times theprojector sweight.
