 The projector must always be installed with bolts, clamps, or other fixing
devices which are suitably rated to support the weight of the projector.
2. Always use a secondary safety fixing device with chain or steel wire of
a suitable rating to sustain the weight of the unit in case of failure of the
principal fixing point.
 The external surfaces of the unit, at various points, may reach 60°C.
Never handle the unit until at least 10 minutes have elapsed since the
LED was turned off.
 Never install the fixture in an enclosed area lacking sufficient air flow; the
room temperature must not exceed 40°C.
 The projector contains electronic and electrical components which must
under no circumstances be in contact with water, oil or any other liquid.
Failure to do so will compromise the proper functioning of the projector.

 The level of technology of ParLite ACL requires the use of
specialised personnel for all service applications; refer all work to your
authorised  service centre.
 A good earth connection is essential for the proper functioning of the
projector. Never connect the fixture if there is no earth connection.
 Mains cables must not come into contact with other cables.

When hanging ParLite ACL it is recommended to use a safety chain “C”affixed to the yoke
and to the suspension device. The safety chain should be either a metal wire rope or a
metal chain, both suitably rated for the purpose.

The ParLite ACL can be tilted to adjust the beam output. To perform this adjustment, follow
the instructions set out below.

The various procedures which follow can only be performed with the projector housing
removed. To gain access to the internal of the projector use a suitable screwdriver to
remove the 3 screws “E” which affix the front frame and remove it.
In the IP version, to access the rear area (switch panel), fully untighten the 4 screws “”
that fix of the rear panel and remove it from the unit.

You should now have complete access to the internal of the projector and can proceed to

the other way round.

Remove mains power prior to opening up the projector.
In the IP version, before close up the unit, check that the garnishings are inserted
in their places. Both screws “E” and “F” must be uniformly fixed, screwing them
alternately in short steps.

The use of a thermal/magnetic circuit breaker for each fixture is recommended.
Strict adherence to regulatory norms is strongly recommended.
Par Lite Led should not be powered through a Dimmer as this may damage the internal
switching powersupply.
Prior to connecting the device to mains power, ensure that the mains characteristics
are within the recommended range for use with the Par Lite Led.
A good earth connection is essential for the correcdt operation of the Par Lite Led.
Never install the unit unless the yellow/gree earth cable is securely connected.
All cabling and connections should be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.

After having followed the preceding steps described, proceed with the power supply and
turn on the projector connecting it to the mains power.
The software version installed on the internal microprocessors will be shown on the display,
suddenly it will show the current DMX addressing. If the address blinks, it means that the
DMX signal has not been received. Check the connection cable and the mixer functioning.

To access the functions menus just press the MENU button. Then press + or – buttons to
scroll the pages and press the ENTER button to access to any other function.
By suitably using all the functions of ParLite ACL, which can be activated through its
display panel, it is possible to change some of the parameters and to add some functions.
Changing the preset settings made by  can vary the functions of the projector so
that it will respond differently to the controller; therefore carefully read about the functions
described here before carrying out any possible selection.
