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.
The I IM MP PR RE ES SS SI IO ON N X X1 1 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.

6. To ensure safe operation, follow also the Installation guide described in the
chapter below. Operating the
I
IM MP PR RE ES SS SI IO ON N X X1 1
without suitable safety aids
like Safety cables or clamps/hooks can increase the risk of 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.
10. Should you have any questions about the operation of your fixture then
please contact your local GLP office, or their authorized distributor, a list of
which can be found at www.glp.de.

3 Mounting
The
I
IM MP PR RE ES SS SI IO ON N X X1 1
is fully operational whether it hangs or is mounted to the
wall. It can also be operated while standing on the floor. Keep a safety distance
of min. 0.5 m towards any easily inflammable materials (decoration etc.).
Pay attention to the regulations of: BGV C1 (former VBG 70),
DIN VDE 0711-217 and BGI 810-3.
The installation shall be done by qualified staff only.
For the various mounting positions of the
I
IM MP PR RE ES SS SI IO ON N X X1 1
(standing on the
floor, sideways or hanging) different connectors are available. Through this a
safe and firm installation is assured. You'll find dedicated M10 threads on the
bottom side of the fixture which should be used. In addition the top of the base
is marked with a FRONT arrow allowing consistent orientation during
installation.

GLP German Light Products GmbH
impression X1 manual (v1.0) from software version: 1.0 8
3.1.1 Operating on the Floor (Upright)
The
I
IM MP PR RE ES SS SI IO ON N X X1 1
is fitted with 4x solid
rubber feet which allows a stable standing
of the fixture. An additional securing is
usually not required. Please pay attention
to an even and gripping surface.
3.1.2 Mounting in hanging position
To operate the
I
IM MP PR RE ES SS SI IO ON N X X1 1
in a hanging position please use a half-
coupler (clamp). This can be mounted directly to the bottom side of the
fixture. It should be attached centrically with a M10 mm thread bolt (max.
length 11mm).
Attention: Never use a longer bolt as this may damage the interior
of the fixture.

GLP German Light Products GmbH
impression X1 manual (v1.0) from software version: 1.0 9
3.1.3 Mounting in sideways Position
To operate the
I
IM MP PR RE ES SS SI IO ON N X X1 1
in a sideways position please use two
half-couplers (clamps) attached to the bottom side of the base. They
should be attached with M10 mm thread bolts (max. length 11mm).
This technique is necessary to cope with the torque which accrues in this
mounting position. Never use the "Mounting in hanging position" technique
described above to fasten the fixture in the sideways position. A safe and
sound installation cannot be assured in this way. In addition this can
damage the fixture base.
Attention: Always use two (2) half-couplers for sideway mounting.

3.2 Securing the Fixture
Regardless of the mounting method of the
I
IM MP PR RE ES SS SI IO ON N X X1 1
you'll have to use
a stipulated safety wire. Attach the safety wire through one of the two holes
provided on the base of the fixture and connect it to the primary support
structure. Pay attention to a safe and proper fastening. The safety cable must
comply with BGI 810-3 (EN 60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6) and be capable of
bearing a static suspended load that is ten times the weight of the fixture and all
installed accessories.

Maintaining and Cleaning
The
I
IM MP PR RE ES SS SI IO ON N X X1 1
is a fixture of very low maintenance. It is only necessary to
clean the air inlets and outlets as well as the optical LED lenses from time to time.
For safe operation it is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and that dust,
dirt and smoke-fluid residues must not build up on, or within the fixture. Otherwise the
fixture's light-output will be significantly reduced or damages can occur. Regular
cleaning will not only ensure the maximum light-output, but will also allow the fixture
to operate reliably throughout its life.
A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning fluid is recom-
mended, under no circumstances should alcohol or solvents be used!
6.1 Safety regulations
Pull out the mains power plug!
Wait min. 15 minutes after disconnecting power to allow the fixture to cool
down.
6.2 Maintenance and Interval (rule-of-thumb)
The contamination of the fixture depends on the environment details. Hence no
general guidelines can be given. The intervals given below are only suggestions
from our experience.
Position
Interval
In this way
LED reflector and optical system
weekly
soft brush /lint-free cloth
Fan and air channel
monthly
vacuum cleaner, airbrush, etc.
Attention:
Never let optical parts come into contact with oil, fat, alcohol or similar
solvents.
Before running the fixture wait until all parts are dry.
Never touch lenses with bare fingers.
Attention:
Under no circumstances should alcohol or solvents be
used to clean the lenses!
