and warning notes written in this user manual.
If the device has been exposed to temperature changes due to environmental changes, do not
switch it on immediately. The arising condensation could damage the device. Leave the device
switched off until it has reached room temperature.
This device falls under protection-class I. Therefore it is essential that the device be earthed.


The electric connection must carry out by qualified person.
The device shall only be used with rate voltage and frequency.
Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated at the end of this manual.
Make sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. If this would be the
case, replacement of the cable must be done by an authorized dealer.
Always disconnect from the mains, when the device is not in use or before cleaning it. Only
handle the power cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power cord.
During initial start-up some smoke or smell may arise. This is a normal process and does not
necessarily mean that the device is defective, it should decrease gradually.
Please don't project the beam onto combustible substances.
Fixtures cannot be installed on combustible substances, keep more than 50cm distance with
wall for smooth air flow, so there should be no shelter for fans and ventilation for heat
radiation.
If the external flexible cable or cord of this luminaire is damaged, it shall be exclusively
replaced by the manufacturer or his service agent or a similar qualified person in order to
avoid a hazard.
3. Operation Instructions
-The moving head is for beam effect for onsite decoration purpose.
-Don’t turn on the fixture if it’s been through severe temperature difference like after
transportation because it might damage the light due to the environment changes. So make
sure to operate the fixture until it is in normal temperature.
-This light should be keep away from strong shaking during any transportation or movement.
-Don’t pull up the light by only the head, or it might cause damages to the mechanical parts.
-Don’t expose the fixture in overheat, moisture or environment with too much dust when
installing
it. And don’t lay any power cables on the floor. Or it might cause electronic shock to the
people.
-Make sure the installation place is in good safety condition before installing the fixture.



4. Mounting and Installation
Cautions: For added protection mount the fixtures in areas outside walking paths, seating
areas, or in areas were the fixture might be reached by unauthorized personnel.
Before mounting the fixture to any surface, make sure that the installation area can hold a
minimum point load of 10 times the device’s weight.
Fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an
appropriate safety cable.
Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing, or servicing the fixture.
from a ceiling, or set on a flat level surface (see illustration below). Be sure this fixture is kept at
least 0.5m (1.5 ft) away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.).
Always use and install the supplied safety cable as a safety measure to prevent accidental
damage and/or injury in the event the clamp fails.
Mounting points: Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including amongst others
calculating working load limits, a fine knowledge of the installation material being used, and
periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture. If you lack these
qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily
injury.


Be sure to complete all rigging and installation procedures before connecting the main power
cord to the appropriate wall outlet.
Clamp Mounting: The Beam provides two unique mounting bracket assemblys that integrates
the bottom of the base, the included “Omega Bracket,” and the safety cable rigging point in
one unit (see the illustration below). When mounting this fixture to truss be sure to secure an
appropriately rated clamp to the included omega bracket using a M10 screw fitted through the
center hole of the “omega bracket”. As an added safety measure be sure to attached at least
one properly rated safety cable to the fixture using on of the safety cable rigging point
integrated in the base assembly.
Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your BEAM, always be sure to secure your
fixture with a safety cable. The fixture provides a built-in rigging point for a safety cable on the
hanging bracket as illustrated above. Be sure to only use the designated rigging point for the
safety cable and never secure a safety cable to a carrying handle.
5. DMX-512 control connections
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other
side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head. You can chain multiple moving head


together through serial linking. The cable needed should be two core, screened cable with XLR
input and output connectors.
Please refer to the diagram below.
DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy
environment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps
in preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is
simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ωresistor connected between pins 2 and 3,which is then
plugged into the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please see illustrations below.

13. Maintenance and Cleaning
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
1) All screws for installing the devices or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and
must not be corroded.


2) There must not be any deformations on the housing, color lenses, fixations and installation
spots (ceiling, suspension, trussing).
3）Mechanically moved parts must not show any traces of wearing and must not rotate with
unbalances.
4）The electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or sediments.
Further instructions depending on the installation spot and usage have to be adhered by a
skilled installer and any safety problems have to be removed.
In order to make the lights in good condition and extend the life time, we suggest a regular
cleaning to the lights.
1) Clean the inside and outside lens each week to avoid the weakneness of the lights due to
accumulation of dust.
2) Clean the fan each week.
3) A detailed electric check by approved electrical engineer each three month, make sure that
the circuit contacts are in good condition, prevent the poor contact of circuit from overheating.
We recommend a frequent cleaning of the device. Please use a moist, lint- free cloth. Never use
alcohol or solvents.
There are no serviceable parts inside the device. Please refer to the instructions under
“Installation instructions”.
Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local dealer.
