2. Intended use of the device
This device was developed for professional use on stages, in discos, theatres
etc. The device is only approved for a connection up to 230 V 50/60 Hz
alternating current and only for indoor use.
Regular breaks during operation increase the lifetime of your device.
Avoid convulsions or any form of forceful impact during the installation or the
start up of the device.
Take care that no cables are lying around. You would endanger your own
safety and also the safety of a third party.
It is not allowed to operate or store the device in an environment in which
spray water or rain is expected. Humidity or very high atmospheric humidity
could reduce the isolation of the device and could cause deathly electric
shocks.
If using fog machine you have to ensure that the fog saturation of the room
must allow a good visibility of at least 10m.
Operate the device not during thunderstorms. Surge voltages could destroy
the device. Unplug the power supply during thunderstorms.
Surrounding objects or surfaces should not be in contact with the device.
Make sure that during the installation and removal of the device the area
below the place of installation is basically cordoned off. This also applies to
implementation of service.
Make familiar yourself with the functions of the device before start-up. People
without the experience should not handle with the device. The most cause of
functional disorder is inappropriate handling.
Keep the device away from children and never operate it unattended.
Never aim the nozzle on people a keep a distance from 50 cm to the nozzle.
ATTENTION. The ejected fog is very hot!
Keep a minimum distance of 50 cm to other objects.
Use only the recommended, high quality water-based fluid from your dealer.
Other fluids may cause damages. Do not use flammable additives, such as
oil, gas, perfumes, etc. in your fluid.
Never aim the nozzle on open fire or flammable objects.
Make sure to top off the fluid in time. If the machine operated without fluid it
can cause damages to the pump or the heating block. Before top off the
fluid please unplug the device from the power supply.
Never drink the fluid. I fit does happen, please contact a doctor. If the fluid
had contact with the eyes or mucous membranes, rinse immediately with
water bodies.
Operate the unit only in a horizontal position.

Never use solvents or aggressive detergents for cleaning. Use instead of this a
damped cleaning rag.
To prevent damages during transport use for transport the original packing or
provided accessories.
For reasons of safety unauthorized changes are forbidden!
A usage of the device which differs from usages which are described in this
manual can cause damages of the device. In this case the warranty expires.
Additional you should notice that every different usage is related with
dangers and can cause e.g. an electrical short, fire, electric shock or crash.
2.1. Overhead installation
Danger of life!
You have to observe the regulations of BGV C1 (formerly VBG
70) and EN60598-2-17 Installations are to carry out by skilled
personnel only.
The suspension devices have to be build and measured so they can
withstand for an hour the tenfold of the payload without suffering a
permanent detrimental deformation.
Basically installation has to be made by using a second separate suspension.
This can be e.g. a suitable net. The second suspension must be designed and
attached so no part of the installation can fall down in case of failure.
During construction, reconstruction and deconstruction unnecessary stay in
the range of moving areas, on lightning bridges, under elevated work stations
or any other danger zones is forbidden.
The operator is obliged to following safety-related and mechanical facilities:
•Before the first start-up or after critical changes before restarting it has
to be checked by an expert.
•Review in the frame of the inspection test at least all four years by an
expert. .
•Review by a qualified person at least once a year.
How to carry out the overhead installation:
Ideally the device should be installed outside lounge areas of people.
IMPORTANT! Overhead installation requires a high level of experience. This
includes knowledge of calculating the payload, used installation material
and safety inspections of the used material and the projector whereas the
required experience is not limited to this. Do not try to carry out installation
yourself under any circumstances if you are not qualified. Contact a
professional installer. An inappropriate installation can lead to injuries and/or
damaged properties.

It is not allowed to install the device in the grip area of people.
If the device may hang from the ceiling or from high beams, the use of truss
systems is mandatory. The device may not be installed so it can swing freely in
the room.
Please note: Crashing down items can cause serious injuries! Do not install the
projector, if you doubt the safety of a possible installation form!
Before installation make sure that the mounting surface has the ability to carry
the tenfold point load of the own weight of the device.
Mount the device with the mounting-bracket to your trussing system using an
appropriate clamp.
During overhead installation the device must be always secured by a safety
rope which is designed to hold the twelvefold weight of device. Only safety
ropes with quick-release safety fastener elements may be used. Hang up the
safety rope in the hole of the mounting bracket. Direct the rope over the truss
or an appropriate fastening point. Hang up the end in the fastening element
and tie up the locking nut. A safety rope once exposed to failing load or
damaged may not be used furthermore.
The maximum drop exceed must not exceed 20cm.
A safety rope once exposed to failing load or damaged may not be used
furthermore. Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket
and tighten the screw.
2.2.Connections
2.2.1. Electrical connections

2.2.2. DMX connections
Make sure that you use shielded cable. 3pol or 5pol XLR cables are suitable.
2.3. DMX connection with terminator
Where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or the equipment is
operated in an electrically noisy environment like a disco for installations, we
recommend using a DMX terminator. This prevents corruption of the digital
control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR
connector with a 120 Ωresistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged
into the XLR output socket of the last device in the series. Please look to the
bottom drawings.
