6 Fusion Stick FS20 Quick Start and Safety Manual Rev. A
• Use only Neutrik PowerCON TRUE1 cable connectors for AC mains power input at
the fixture’s Mains IN connector and for relaying AC mains power from one fixture’s
Mains OUT (Thru) connector to another fixture’s Mains IN connector.
• Use minimum 14 AWG or 1.5 mm2power input and relay cables that are minimum
16 A-rated and temperature-rated to suit the application. In the USA and Canada
the cables must be UL-listed, type SJT or equivalent. In the EU the cables must be
type H05VV-F or equivalent.
• Do not connect devices to power in a chain if the total maximum current draw of all
the devices in the chain when added together will exceed the current rating of any
cable or connector used at any point in the chain. The supplied power input cable
is rated as follows:
- US power cable: 16 A, 14 AWG, UL-listed, E304117, SJT, 4.9 ft.
- EU power cable: 16 A, 1.5 mm², H07RN-F, 1.5 m.
Do not connect more than four (4) Fusion Stick FS20 fixtures to power in a chain at
100-120 V, 60 Hz.
Do not connect more than eight (8) Fusion Stick FS20 fixtures to power in a chain at
200-240 V, 50 Hz.
• The voltage and frequency at the Mains OUT socket are the same as the voltage
and frequency applied to the Mains IN socket. Only connect devices to the Mains
Out socket that accept this voltage and frequency.
• Fusion Stick FS20 fixtures do not have a user-replaceable fuse. If you suspect that a
fuse has blown, disconnect the fixture from power and send it to a technician
authorized by GLP for repair.
Fire safety and protection from burns
• Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40° C / 104° F.
• The surface of the fixture’s casing can reach up to 80° C / 176° F during operation.
Avoid contact by persons and materials. Do not install the fixture in a location where
there is a risk of accidental contact. Allow the fixture to cool for at least 20 minutes
before handling
• Keep the fixture well away from flammable materials.
• Keep all combustible materials (e.g. fabric, wood, paper) at least 0.2 m / 8 in. away
from the fixture.
• Ensure that there is free and unobstructed airflow around the fixture.
• Do not illuminate surfaces within 0.2 m / 8 in. of the fixture. The light output from the
fixture is powerful enough to cause burns or fire in illuminated objects at very close
range.
• Do not place any optical components other than Fusion Stick FS20 accessories from
GLP onto the front of the fixture.

German Light Products®
Fusion Stick FS20 Quick Start and Safety Manual Rev. A 7
• Do not stick filters, masks or other materials onto the fixture. Do not block the light
output in any way. The front surface becomes hot during operation and can melt or
ignite objects that are in contact with the surface. Ensure that the front surface Is
clean and unobstructed at all times in order to prevent a fire hazard and damage
to the fixture.
• The fixture’s optical components can focus the sun’s rays, creating a risk of fire and
damage. Do not expose the front of the fixture to sunlight or any other intense light
source, even from an angle.
Eye safety
• The FS20 is classified as a Risk Group 3 lighting fixture according to EN 62471. Possibly
hazardous radiation emitted. Do not stare into the light output from the fixture. May
be harmful to the eyes.
• Do not look at the fixture’s light output with optical instruments or any device that
may concentrate the light output.
• Make sure that persons near to or working on the fixture are not looking directly into
the light output when the fixture lights up suddenly. This can happen when power is
applied, when the fixture receives a DMX signal, or when certain control menu items
are selected.
• The warning below is printed on the fixture. If the warning becomes impossible to
read, replace it with a label reproduced from this illustration:
• Provide well-lit conditions to reduce the pupil diameter of anyone working on or
near the fixture.
Strobe safety
• Flashing light, particularly at 5 - 30 Hz, may cause seizures in persons with
photosensitive epilepsy. Do not use strobe effects for extended periods.
• Comply with local regulations on the use of strobe lighting and notify the public in
advance with highly visible warning signs when strobe effects are used.

www.glp.de
8 Fusion Stick FS20 Quick Start and Safety Manual Rev. A
• If a seizure occurs, stop using strobe effects. Seek professional medical help. Note
the time that the seizure starts and finishes. Call emergency medical help urgently if
the seizure lasts more than five minutes, if it is the person’s first seizure, or if the person
is injured. While waiting for help to arrive, protect the affected person from injuring
themselves on hard or sharp objects. If necessary, move the person to a safe place.
Lay them on their side with their head supported to prevent it from hitting the floor.
Loosen any tight clothing around their neck. Do not use force to hold the person or
restrict their movements. Do not put anything in their mouth, including your fingers.
Installation safety and protection from personal injury
• Installation must be performed by qualified personnel only and carried out in
accordance with all locally applicable regulations such as DIN VDE 0711-217.
• The fixture is not portable when installed.
• Ensure that the supporting structure and installation hardware used can hold at least
ten times the weight of the load that they support.
• Fasten the fixture to a structure or surface only as directed in this manual and only
with hardware that is specifically designed and rated for its purpose. Do not use a
safety cable as the primary means of support. Check that installation hardware is in
perfect condition. Fasteners must be steel grade 8.8 strength or better. Rigging
clamps must be half-coupler type that completely encircle the rigging truss chord.
• If the fixture is installed in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls,
install as directed in this manual a safety cable or similar secondary attachment that
will hold the fixture if a primary attachment fails. The secondary attachment must be
approved by an official body such as TÜV as a safety attachment for the weight
that it secures, it must comply with EN 60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6, and it must be able
to support a static suspended load that is ten times the weight that it secures.
• If the fixture is installed in a location where it may be exposed to forces such as wind
pressure, vibration or movement, make sure that the installation can withstand these
forces. Monitor weather forecasts constantly. Take down the installation
immediately if there is any risk of weather conditions that could destabilize the
installation.
• Check that all covers and items of rigging hardware are secure before using the
fixture. Do not operate the fixture with missing or damaged covers, shields or any
optical component.
• Restrict access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever
installing, servicing or moving the fixture.
• If the fixture becomes damaged, stop using it immediately and disconnect it from
power. Do not attempt to use a fixture that is obviously damaged.
• Do not modify the fixture in any way not described in its user documentation.
• Install genuine GLP parts only.

2. Avoiding damage to the fixture
Important! Follow the directions in this section carefully, or the fixture may suffer
damage that is not covered by the product warranty.
General precautions
Do not drop the fixture or expose it to mechanical stress.
Protect the onboard OLED display and control panel from shocks, or they may suffer
damage that is not covered by the product warranty.
Do not expose the fixture to heat (from other lighting fixtures for example).
Clean optical components only as directed. Oils, solvents, and other chemicals
commonly used for cleaning can damage the lens coatings and surfaces.
Use only original spare parts. Do not make any structural modifications to the fixture or
you will void the product warranty.
Avoiding damage from light sources and heat
Do not point the front of the fixture towards the sun or other strong light sources. Strong
light can cause internal damage to the fixture, melting components or starting an
internal fire within seconds.
Figure 1. Avoiding damage from light sources
Damage can occur whether the fixture is powered on or off. See Figure 1. Damage
can also occur if the light hits the front of the fixture at an angle: the fixture does not
need to be pointing directly at the sun or other light source.
To avoid problems from strong light sources:
• Do not expose the front of the fixture to sunlight or any other strong light source.
• In outdoor applications during daylight, make sure that the front face of the fixture is
shielded or points away from the sun, even when not in use.
• Do not aim other high-powered beam lights directly at the fixture.
Do not operate the fixture in ambient temperatures above 40° C / 104° F. Allow free
airflow around the fixture.

10 Fusion Stick FS20 Quick Start and Safety Manual Rev. A
IP rating
FS20 fixtures are IP65-rated:
• IP stands for Ingress (entry into the fixture) Protection.
• The first figure 6in the rating means that fixtures are protected against the entry of
dust and airborne particles.
• The second figure 5 in the rating means that fixtures are protected against the entry
of rain and water projections from all angles. Fixtures are not protected against
immersion in water and they are not protected against high-pressure water jets.
Avoiding damage from water and humidity
• Do not install FS20 fixtures in a location where water can pool around the fixture or
allow FS20 fixtures to become submerged in any other way. Do not aim low- or high-
pressure water jets at fixtures.
• Keep all unused connectors on the fixture sealed with their protective caps, both
when the fixture is being used and when it is not in use.
• In outdoor and high-humidity environments, use IP65-rated power and data
connectors and cable (an IP65 rating means that the item is protected against the
entry of water from rain, projections and low-pressure jets as well as the entry of
dust). When assembling connectors and installing them on cable, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions (see www.neutrik.com) and ensure that an IP65 rating is
maintained for the complete assembly. Use only the following cable connectors:
- IP65-rated 5-pin XLR connectors for data IN and OUT (THRU)
- Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 NAC3FX-W for Power IN
- Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 NAC3MX-W for Power OUT (THRU).
• Apply a dielectric grease (available from electrical suppliers) to connector terminals
and caps to prevent corrosion and/or electrical short circuits.
• Make sure that cables open into dry areas or sealed junction boxes. Moisture can
be drawn along cables by capillary action or pressure variations resulting from
thermal expansion.
• See drawing on right.
Arrange cables so that they
arrive at connectors from
below. Make sure that it is
impossible for water to flow
down cables and
accumulate at connectors.
If necessary, provide extra
cable slack and create ‘drip loops’ before connectors.
• Create loose cable bends only. Do not subject connections to bending forces or
allow connections to bear the weight of long lengths of cable.

German Light Products®
Fusion Stick FS20 Quick Start and Safety Manual Rev. A 11
Avoiding damage from dust and airborne particles
• Carry out regular visual inspections of the fixture to make sure that there is no
accumulation of dirt, especially on the front of the fixture.
• If cleaning is necessary, follow the instructions in ‘Service’ on page 27.
Transportation and storage
• If fixtures have been fastened together with locking pins, remove the pins and
separate the fixtures before transport. Do not transport fixtures that are fastened
together, or shocks during transport will expose fixtures to leverage forces and may
cause damage that is not covered by the product warranty.
• Transport the fixture in its original packaging to protect it from damage caused by
shocks during transportation.
• Store the fixture in a dry location when not in use.

5. Installation
Warning! Read ‘Safety’ starting on page 4 for important safety information
that you must understand before you install or operate the fixture. Install
FS20 fixtures only as described in this chapter, or you may create an
installation that is unsafe.
Install the fixture at least 0.2 m / 8 in. away from combustible materials
(wood, textiles, paper, etc.), 0.2 m / 8 in. away from any surface that will be
illuminated, and a safe distance away from any flammable materials
(volatile spirits, etc.).
It is the installer’s responsibility to provide a stable, secure supporting
structure that is suitable for the environment and application and that
meets all applicable codes and legal requirements. Note the requirement
to secure lighting fixtures with safety cables in temporary installations.
Permitted mounting options
An FS20 fixture may be installed in one of the following ways:
Standing horizontally on a horizontal surface using two FS20 Tilt Brackets as a floor
stand.
Standing vertically on a horizontal surface using an FS20 End Adapter Set and an
FS20 Base Plate.

only when fixtures are fastened together in a vertical chain – do not use
them to support the weight of a fixture at any other angle than hanging
vertically downwards.
Warning! Do not fasten more than six (6) fixtures to each other in one
suspended vertical chain.
You can suspend up to a maximum of six (6) FS20 fixtures in total in an interconnected
vertical chain to give an unbroken line of pixels. To create a hanging vertical chain:
Suspend the first fixture as described in ‘Vertical suspension from a rigging structure’
on page 19. Check that the installation will be safe and that the rigging clamp and
safety cable are approved for the total weight of all the fixtures in the chain.
See Figure 12. Have two FS20 Locking Pins Aready.
Lift the second fixture up to the first so
that the locking channels Bin the fixtures
mesh with each other.
Push the two locking pins Ainto the
channels Bin both fixtures. Press the
button on each locking pin so that you
can push the pin fully into its channel.
When the pin is fully engaged, release
the button and check that the button is in
the fully out position so that the pin is
locked in place. Check that the pins now
lock the two fixtures together.
If required by locally applicable
regulations, secure the second fixture by
using a safety cable to fasten the safety cable attachment eyelets in the brackets
on the back of the first and second fixtures to each other so that the safety cable
will catch the second fixture if it falls. In some regions (where DGUV-215-313 is
applicable, for example) the use of two independent locking pins means that use
of a safety cable is not required.
Continue fastening fixtures to each other as described above to form a vertical
chain. Do not create a chain that contains more than six (6) fixtures in total.
