Safety
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the
following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Do not use outdoors.
•
Do not let power supply cords touch hot surfaces.
•
Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
•
Equipment should be mounted in locations and at
heights where it will not readily be subjected to
tampering by unauthorized personnel.
•
The use of accessory equipment not
recommended by the manufacturer
may cause an unsafe condition.
•
Do not use this equipment for other
than intended use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Note: The light source in this luminaire is not user-replaceable, and must be replaced
only by a qualified technician. Contact ETC Customer Support for assistance.
WARNING: Note the following safety warnings before use:
•
Use the fixture in dry locations only, where humidity does not exceed 90
percent (non-condensing).
•
Connect the fixture to a non-dimmable power source in order to avoid
damage to the fixture's internal power supply and other electrical
components. Using a dimmable power source can damage the fixture and
will void the warranty.
•
Disconnect the fixture from power and DMX and allow it to cool before
installing accessories or performing any cleaning and maintenance.
•
Only use mounting hardware that is rated for the total weight of the
fixture and accessories.
•
In addition to primary suspension, attach a safety cable (or other approved
safety device) to the fixture. Safety cables must be rated to support ten
times the fixture weight. Consult local standards to ensure that safety
cables meet all requirements. See Mounting and Safety Cables on the next
page .
•
Check that the accessory holder is locked and that any accessory safety
cables are connected before mounting the fixture.
•
Do not mount the fixture on or near a flammable surface.
•
Do not operate the fixture without the lens installed.
•
Do not use this fixture with a damaged power lead. If the power lead
(cord set) is damaged, it must be replaced.
•
Do not use this fixture if the lens is deeply scratched or cracked. You must
replace the lens when it is damaged.

AVERTISSEMENT : Prendre connaissance des avertissements de sécurité
suivants avant toute utilisation :
•
Débranchez le projecteur de son alimentation et du DMX et laissez-le
refroidir avant d’installer des accessoires ou d’effectuer un nettoyage ou
un entretien.
•
N’utilisez que de la quincaillerie de montage adaptée au poids total des
projecteurs et des accessoires.
•
En plus de la suspension principale, fixez une chaîne de sécurité (ou tout
autre dispositif de sécurité homologué) au projecteur. Les chaînes de
sécurité doivent être en mesure de supporter dix fois le poids du
projecteur. Consultez les normes locales pour vous assurer que les câbles
de sécurité respectent toutes les exigences.
•
Vérifiez que le porte-accessoires est verrouillé et que les élingues de tous
les accessoires sont bien attachées avant de monter le projecteur.
•
Ne pas installer le projecteur sur ou à côté d’une surface inflammable.
•
N’utilisez pas le projecteur sans que la lentille soit installée.
•
Ne pas utiliser ce projecteur avec un cordon d’alimentation endommagé.
Si le cordon d’alimentation (câble) est abîmé, il doit être remplacé.
•
N’utilisez pas ce projecteur si la lentille présente des rayures ou des
fissures profondes. Il faut remplacer la lentille si elle est abîmée.

Mounting and Safety Cables
You can mount the fixture using a clamp, baby-pin (16mm) receiver, or
spigot on the yoke(A), or you can set the fixture on the floor or another
flat surface. When suspending the fixture, make sure to secure the
fixture with an appropriate safety cable at the safety cable attachment
point (B).
If necessary, move the adjustable yoke (Din image below) to balance
the fixture. Use a 13 mm socket wrench to loosen the bolt and shift the
yoke position, and then tighten the bolt to secure the yoke.

the spring-release and rotating the accessory holder lock
(C).
2. Slide an accessory into one of the accessory slots. Add a
second accessory in the other slot, if needed.

Connect Power and Data
1. Attach five-pin XLR cable to the
DMX In connector (if using external
control).
2. Plug the XLR cable (if using) into the
DMX source or data daisy-chain.
3. Use the DMX Thru connectors to
connect up to 32 device loads on
the DMX daisy chain.
4. Are you using AC power or battery
power?
•
AC power: Continue to step5.
•
Battery power:Continue to step6.
5. Use the Power Thru connectors to
connect other fixtures using the
following recommended guidelines,
and then continue to step 6:
•
Power Thru: Link up to 6 additional
fixtures (12A max) via Power Thru
connector when using an R20 Relay Module (consult breaker-trip curves when using other
equipment).
6. Supply power to the fixture in one of these ways:
•
Attach the power cable to the Power In connector, and then plug the power cable into AC
power (100–240VAC, 50/60 Hz) on a non-dimmable circuit.
•
Attach the three-pin XLR cable to the Battery connector, and then plug the cable into the
battery (24–36VDC). Cable must be rated for 10A or greater.
CAUTION: Do not connect the fixture to the battery when AC power is present.
Maximum fixture output may be reduced when the fixture is connected to battery
power.
Focus the Fixture
1. Apply power to the fixture, and wait until the fixture has booted up(the ETC splash screen
displays during boot up).
2. Press any encoder to "wake" the display.
3. What screen is currently displayed?
•
DMX:Press the Intensity encoder to turn on the LED array. The display shows a timeout
countdown to indicate how long the LED array will remain on at 100% intensity. You can
turn the Intensity encoder to reset the timeout countdown to 5minutes.
•
All other screens (Studio, Preset, etc.): Press the Intensity encoder to turn on the
LEDarray, and turn the Intensity encoder to adjust the intensity.
4. Adjust the fixture to the desired position.
5. Rotate the zoom knob on either side of the fixture to adjust from spot to flood.
6. Press the Intensity encoder to turn off the LEDarray.
