2 Safety Instructions
1. Before powering on the fixture, make sure that the fixtures fans and air inlets
are clean and not blocked.
2. Ensure that the fixture head can rotate unhindered throughout its complete
range of pan and tilt movement. A safety distance of at least 0.5 m must be
maintained between the fixture and any easily inflammable material (e.g.
decoration material).
3. Attention! Don’t touch the fixture during the operation. This can cause injuries
and/or damages.
4. The fixture doesn’t contain any user serviceable parts. Opening the fixture
will void all warranties.
5. It is necessary to wait at least 15 minutes after disconnecting the mains power
before handling the fixture. Pay attention to possible hot parts of the fixture.
6. To ensure safe operation, follow also the Installation guide described in the
chapter below. Operating the IMPRESSION X4 Bar 20 without suitable safety
aids like Safety cables or clamps/hooks can increase the riskof an accident and
must be avoided.
7. Repair, maintenance, and installation work shall be done by qualified or GLP
certified staff only. You need to pay attention to the common rules of technology
that are not explicitly mentioned in this manual.
8. Use only original GLP spare parts. Any structural modification of the system will
terminate all warranty claims.
9. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
The
IMPRESSION X4 Bar 20
is a High-Tech Product. To
guarantee a smooth operation, it is necessary to respect the
following rules. The manufacturer of this device will not take
responsibility for damages through any disregard of the
information provided in this manual. Warranty claims also will be
voided in the case that the fixture housing is opened.
Never look directly into the beam of light or into one of the
LEDs. Attention: LED Class 2M can cause injuries of your eyes
even without optical instruments in front of them or within a
distance of less than 0.5m and short exposure time.
Hence: Avoid direct radiation into your eyes!
WARNING:
Never let optical parts come in contact with alcohol,
solvents or similar cleaners.

Important Safety Information
The IMPRESSION X4 Bar 20 fixture from GLP isfitted with a number of plano-convex
lenses in a highly efficient collimator cluster. This type of lens can act as a strong
magnifying glass.
If the rays from a strong light source (such as the sun or another lighting fixture) are
directed towards the front of any of these fixtures, then internal damage may occur.
In a worst case scenario with a high power light source this can happen very quickly,
damaging the fixture internally, potentially melting components or causing an internal
fire within seconds.
In order to avoid these possible problems please adhere to the following
requirements:
Do not expose the front of a fixture to direct sunlight or any other strong light
sources.
For outdoor applications during daylight make sure that the front face of any
fixture is either shielded or points away from the sun, even when fixtures are
not in use.
Do not modify the front glass or lenses of any fixture.
These requirements have to be followed regardless of whether a fixture is powered
on or off as the magnifying effect is an optical effect and therefore independent from
the (electrical) state of the fixture.
Especially when working with high powered beam-lights; extreme caution and
observance of these safety instructions is mandatory.
Should you have any questions about the operation of yourfixture then please contact
your local GLP office, or their authorized distributor, a list of which can be found at
