3.1 Fire Prevention
Minimum distance from illuminated surface: 0.5 m
Never expose the front lens, from any angle, to direct sunlight or strong
artificial light sources to avoid damage to internal parts of the product.
The lens may act as a powerful magnifying glass if exposed towards the sun
or any strong artificial light source; this will cause damage to the internal
parts even when the unit is turned off.
It is strongly recommended to leave the front lens directed towards the
ground when switching off or leaving the unit unattended.
The unit features various air inlets and cooling fans. Under no circumstances
should these be blocked or obstructed whilst the projector is operating. Doing
so may cause the fixture to seriously overheat, damaging it and compromising
its proper operation.
Each fixture produces heat and must be installed in a well-ventilated place.
Connect the projector to mains power via a thermal magnetic circuit breaker.
3.2 Prevention of Electric Shock
High voltage is present inside the unit.
Unplug the unit prior to performing any function which involves handling of
the insides of all parts of the product.

3.4 Safety
Risk Group 2 product according to IEC 62471.
Do not look directly at the light output and do not stare at the light beam
through optical instruments or any other device that may concentrate the light
beam. May be harmful to the eyes and skin.
Do not stare at the operating light source.
The luminaire should be positioned so that prolonged staring into the
luminaire from a minimum distance of 25,94 m is not expected.
The light source contained in this luminaire shall only be replaced by the
manufacturer or their service agent or a similar qualified person.
The unit is not for domestic use and must be installed by a qualified electrician or
experienced person only.
The projector should always be installed with the proper tools. The fixing point must
always be capable of supporting the weight of the unit.
Always use a safety cable to sustain the weight of the unit in case of failure of the
main fixing point.
The external surface of the unit’s body, at various points, may exceed 50 °C.
Never handle the unit until at least five minutes have passed since it was
turned off.
Ambient temperature should not exceed 40 °C.
This fixture is intended for use where humidity does not exceed 90% (non-
condensing).
After storage, and before switching on the fixture, please ensure that its ambient
temperature has been restored to acceptable values.
Never install the fixture in places that lack a constant air flow.
3.5 Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive:
The projector, the accessories, and the packaging should be sorted for
environmental-friendly recycling.
For EC countries: according to the European Directive 2012/19/EU for Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment and its implementation into national right,

For ceiling mounted installations, DTS recommend the use of appropriate clamps to fix the unit to the mounting
surface.
An Omega bracket with “Fast Lock” connections, already mounted on the unit, allows to hang the X-BRICK by
using proper truss fixing clamps.
The supporting structure from which the unit is hung should be capable of bearing the weight of the unit, as
should any clamps used to hang it.
When outdoor and installing X-BRICK vertically, ensure to mount the unit with the display facing towards the
ground.
8.2.1 Installation With Omega Bracket
Four ¼-turn “Fast Lock” connections placed in the base of the unit allow X-BRICK to hang by using Omega
bracket (provided with the unit) in conjunction with an Aliscaf clamp (available on demand).
