1 Description of Device and Functions
- The is a fluorescent tube lighting concept for professional
architecture and stage lighting.
- The system consists of 4x T8 fluorescent tubes 36W in the colors red, green, blue
and white.
- Each of the 4 tubes of the is individually controllable over a DMX-
512 channel.
- Internal high resolution control electronics allows a continuously and smooth
dimming between 0% and 100%.
- By means of additive color mixing with a very high resolution, one receives a
homogeneous color mixing behavior with very high luminous efficiency.
- Moreover the tubes show a very fast responding behavior, with which the system
suits also application like fast running light programs and stroboscope-similar
effects.
- In Seven-Channel-Mode the possibility exists to turn off the pre-heating of the
tubes, to choose between two dimmer curves, to turn on a stroboscope effect and
to regulate the maximum brightness of all tubes.
- The DMX start address is adjusted simply over keys at the system and directly
indicated over the display. In Seven-Channel-Mode the Display goes out 10
seconds after the last key press to enable operation in darker settings.
- The mode switchover takes place by pushing two keys of the Display
simultaneously. (100 and 10: Four-Channel-Mode, 100 and 1: Seven-Channel-
Mode )
- The fourth fluorescent tube serves the background brightness increase in the
white color. Furthermore also the possibility exists to exchange this tube by
another color to obtain there a higher brightness.
- A further advantage is the lockable single-connector-system and the very low
power consumption, which is reached by a very good compensation. Thus it is
possible to attach up to 15 in a row connected to one
S
Sp pl li it tt te er r at each single 16A phase.
- Integrated threaded bushes M10 for a clamp, a CAMLOC quick-lock-system, a
fitting for a safety rope and the removable feet simplifying the handling within the
tour exercise.

4 Version 1.1 GLP •German Light Products GmbH
- By the possibility to mount the devices both, lengthwise as well as in transversal
direction without any gaps, large coherent shining surfaces can be constructed.
- As accessories, cable connections are available in the lengths 1m, 2m, 5m, 10m
and 20m.
1.1 Safety Instructions
The is a High-Tech product. To guarantee a
smooth operation it is necessary to keep the following rules.
The manufacturer of this device will not take responsibility of
damages through disregard of the information given in this
manual. Warranty adjustments will be canceled.
1. Never try to repair or to dismantle the yourself. Opening the
internal housing can lead to current impacts or other injuries. Turn for arising
problems always to an authorized specialist dealer or directly to G GL LP P.
2. The is exclusively meant for the use in the internal area.
Never use or store the system out of doors.
3. When installation the devices attention is to be paid to a sufficient temperature
heat sink. Take advised from the G GL LP P - support if an installation in restrained
or badly ventilated conditions is planned.
4. Protect the equipment against humidity and wetness as well as against in-
creased vibrations.
5. Unplug the from the AC outlet before any service.
6. To allow a secure operation, follow also the installation guide described in
chapter 2.1. Operating the without suited safety aids like
Safety cables or clamps/hooks can increase the risk of accident.
7. The installation should be done by qualified staff only. You need to pay
attention to the common rules of technology that are not explicit mentioned in
this manual.
8. Use only original spare parts. Any structural modification will cancel all warran-
ty adjustments.

2 Preparation and Installation
2.1 Mounting
The can be mounted in any arbitrary position without any gaps. To
ensure a safe installation under all circumstances, the system offers various
possibilities like screw-on standings and assembly angle, different attaching by
means of a hook, classical M10 hook or CAMLOC quick-lock-systems.

2.2 Secure the
Regardless of the rigging of the you have to use a stipulated safety
wire. Therefore you have to thread a safety wire through the intended application at
the fixture and connect it with the truss-support. Pay attention to a safe and proper
fastening.
Pay attention to the regulations of: BGV C1 (former VBG 70) and
DIN VDE 0711-217 !
The installation should be done by qualified staff only.
2.3 Connections
You can connect up to 15 in one row. The S Sp pl li it tt te er ris
therefore connected to a single 16A phase. Also the DMX signal for all 15
is attached directly to this device. Power and the DMX signal will be
both transmitted over the multi-core cable, connected firmly with the system. For
forwarding the power and DMX signal, differently manufactured cables are available
as accessories.
During mounting and dismounting, the system must be disconnected
from the mains supply. Otherwise the connectors can by damaged!
