6- IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
6.1 Fire prevention:
- CORE uses a SIRIUS HRI 440W lamp.
The use of any other alternative lamp is not recommended and will null and void the
fixture's warranty.
-It is permissible to place the unit on normally flammable surfaces.
Suitable for mounting on normally flammable materials surfaces greater than 200°C
with some combustion time lag.
-Minimum distance from the objects and the people lit by the light beam: 15 m.
-Replace any blown or damaged fuses only with those of identical value (T 8A 250V).
Refer to the wiring diagrams if there is any doubt.
-Connect the projector to mains power via a thermal magnetic circuit breaker.
6.2 Prevention of electric shock:
-High voltage is present inside the unit.
Unplug the unit prior to performing any function which involves touching the inside of
the moving head, including lamp replacement.
-The level of technology inherent in the CORE requires the assistance of specialised
personnel for all servicing. Please refer to an authorised DTS service centre.
-A good earth connection is essential for proper functioning of the projector.
-Never connect the unit without proper earth connection.
-The fixture should be located in places with a good air ventilation.
6.3 Protection against ultraviolet radiation:
-Never turn on the lamp if any of the lenses, filters or plastic covering are damaged.
Their respective shielding functions will only operate efficiently if they are in perfect
working order.
-Never look directly the lamp when it is on.
6.4 Safety:
-Risk Group 2 product according to EN 62471.
CAUTION. Do not look directly into the light output and do not view the light beam with
optical instruments or any device that may concentrate the beam.
May be harmful to the eyes and skin.
-Do not stare at the operating light source.
-The unit is not for household use and must be installed by a qualified electrician or
experienced person.
-The projector should always be installed with bolts, clamps and other tools that are
capable of supporting the weight of the unit.
-Always use a safety cable to sustain the weight of the unit in case of the failure of the
main fixing point.
-The external surface of the unit, at various points, may exceed 70°C. Never handle
the unit until at least 20 minutes have elapsed since the lamp was turned off.
-Always replace the lamp if any physical damage is evident.
-Never install the fixture in an enclosed area lacking sufficient air flow.
The ambient temperature should not exceed 40°C.

-A hot lamp may explode, so always wait for at least 20 minutes prior to attempting to
replace the lamp.
-Always wear suitable hand protection when handling the lamp.
6.5 Level of protection against the penetration of solid and liquid objects:
-The projector is classified as an ordinary appliance and its protection level against the
penetration of solid and liquid objects is IP20.
Suitable for indoor use only.
6.6 Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive:
- The projector, accessories and packaging should be sorted for environmental-friendly
recycling.
For EC countries: according to the European Directive 2012/19/EC for Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment and its implementation into national right,
luminaires that are no longer usable must be collected separately and disposed of in
an environmentally correct manner.
