Hedler Profilux LED 1400 User manual

HEDLER Profilux®LED1400 and HEDLER Profilux®LED1400 DMX operation manual.
Please, read the following technical information and the HEDLER safety
instructions carefully before using the light unit.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Light units of the HEDLER Profilux®LED range are designed for professional use, they are assembled by applying precision methods and
tested individually for function and quality. The focusable daylight HEDLER Profilux®LED1400 light unit as well as the daylight HEDLER Profilux®
LED1400DMX light unit is provided with an integrated U-bracket and a friction brake and a 5/8” Quick-Lock light stand attachment. After
loosening the hex key screws by approx. 2 turns, the U-bracket can be moved back and forth in its keyway for gravity adjustment and it is
turnable for right and left hand use.
The light units of the HEDLER Profilux®LED range are designed for AC use from 110 - 230 V (with automatic mains voltage recognition) and
50/60 Hz and are equipped with a LED Softstart feature. They use one 185 W highpower single cell LED and generate a flicker-free light with
approx. 5600 K and a CRI > 95. They have an extremely quiet cooling. It can be used in automatic mode or can be switched manually to 100%.
Besides they are equipped with a special active LED fan cooling and an integrated safety switch-off.
At the front side the aluminium housing holds a Fresnel lens and the QuickFit adapter for a quick and easy compatibility of all HEDLER
lioghtformers. Interchangeable reflectors with bayonet ring can be attached in the following way: Interchangeable reflectors with bayonet ring
can be attached in the following way: place the rim of the ring into the guide grooves of the upper studs and the round opening over the
coneshaped bolt, and lock it by a turn to the left. To attach the rotatable 4-Leaf barndoors or a MaxiSoft folding reflector, place the rim of the ring
into the guide grooves of the upper studs, and then push the complete reflector towards the QuickFit´s cone-shaped bolt until the ring locks in
the bolt´s groove. Detach the reflector by lifting the QuickFit´s handle, moving the lower side of the reflector away from the light unit´s housing,
and then lifting the reflector´s ring out of the guide grooves of the upper studs.
The focusing option of the light units HEDLER Profilux®LED1400 and HEDLER Profilux®LED1400 DMX allows to adjust the light beam from spot
up to flood light characteristic. Simply turn the focusing knob located at the back of the housing and the size of the light beams diameter can be
adjusted precisely to your lighting needs or ideas - intuitively.

FRESNEL LENS
To replace the Fresnel lens: please, make sure that the housing of the HEDLER Profilux®LED1400 / HEDLER Profilux®LED1400 DMX has cooled off
before interchanging the Fresnel lens, otherwise there is a risk of burning! Always disconnect the HEDLER Profilux®LED1400 / HEDLER Profilux®
LED1400 DMX from the power supply before interchanging the Fresnel lens. Unscrew the four socket screws of the housings front plate and
remove the front plate with the Fresnel lens. Unscrew the securing screws of the Fresnel lens and replace the defective one with an original
HEDLER Fresnel lens only. After replacing the Fresnel lens tighten its securing screws hand-tight. Attach the front plate at the housing and tighten
the front plates four securing screws. Please, before taking the HEDLER Profilux®LED1400 / HEDLER Profilux®LED1400 DMX in operation, make
sure that the front plate is mounted correctly!
FOCUSING
To focus the HEDLER Profilux®LED1400 or the HEDLER Profilux®LED1400 DMX light beam turn the focusing knob anti clock-wise (increased
spotlight characteristic) or clock-wise (increased floodlight characteristic) to adjust the light beams size.
DMX
At the back of the HEDLER Profilux®LED1400 DMX light unit there are two 5-pin DMX-sockets with standard pin configuration. Connected
to a suitable DMX controller the light units can be switched on / off and the light output power can be adjusted remotely. The upper DMX
connect is used for the forementioned operations of the light unit. The lower DMX connect is used to connect another light unit and works as a
„passthrough feature“ for the DMX-signal. Setting the DMX-address of the respectively light unit is done directly at the light unit, no additional
accessory is needed.
Setting the DMX-address will be done as follows: a) HEDLER Profilux®LED1400 DMX must be connected to a power supply and switched off;
b) press the key button Dimmer OFF / ON for approx. 3 seconds or until „A--“ is displayed and don´t release the key button; c) pressing the
key button Fan 100% / Automatic or POWER OFF / ON once the numerical address of the light unit will be increased / decreased by one; d) to
quit the process release the key button Dimmer OFF / ON.

contact Hedler Systemlicht GmbH, 65594 Runkel directly, if you do have a technical question concerning Hedler
light units and/or Hedler accessories. Please keep these safety instructions close in reach, if neccessary you can
download them from our website www.hedler.com as a PDF.
Hedler light unit(s), Hedler reflectors, softboxes, reflex umbrellas and/or Hedler accessories are designed for pro-
fessional studio or indoor use only. Never use Hedler light unit(s), Hedler reflectors, softboxes, reflex umbrellas
and/or Hedler accessories outdoors.
Setting up and putting into operation
To put Hedler light unit(s) into operation it/they have to be set up, mounted, placed, secured and monitored
appropriately.
• Always use a Hedler light unit in combination with a steady and secure standing light stand which has a loading
capacity that is adequate for the weight of the light unit plus cable plus accessory/accessories. Always work
within the light stand´s loading capacity, especially if you are using, or plan to use, large and/or heavy folding
reflectors.
• Appropriate action(s) to secure light stand(s) are (for example):
• - mounting the light stand legs to the (stage) floor,
• - weight down the light stand legs with appropriate filled sand bags for example,
• - blockade the light stand area.
• Please note the permitted tilting of the Hedler light unit(s) of max. 45° upwards and max. 45° downwards.
• Set up a Hedler light unit - light stand combination on leveled floor only. Please make sure for tilt resistance
while setting up / taking down and while in operation. Please make sure for an antislip stand while setting up /
taking down and while in operation.
• For light unit(s) in operation the ambient temperature should not underrun -15°C (5°F) or exceed approx.
35°C (95°F).
• Acclimatisation: Avoid condensation problems because of high variations of temperature. If there are high
variations of temperature do not use the Hedler light unit(s).
• Use Hedler light unit(s) in hospital(s), museum(s), factory (factories) asf. with permission of the appropriate /
responsible public authority, administration, company management or business management only.

burning caused by overthrowing, slipping or other reason(s) because of uncontrolled/unwanted movements
of a light unit(s) while setting up / taking down and/or while in operation.
• Always use a double securing like a safety wire, if you mount a Hedler light unit overhead, which has a loading
capacity that it could be loaded with the weight of the mounted light unit incl. accessory multiplied by five (for
example: (light unit 4.5 kg + reflector 1.2 kg) * 5 = 28.5 kg - for this case the safety wire to use must have a
loading capacity of minimum 28.5 kg).
• Before putting a Hedler light unit into operation check all safety and/or positioning and/or light stand srews
for being screwed in securely and/or hand-tight.
• Always keep a minimum distance of 100 cm between the safety glass (or accessories) and any combustible
materials and/or any inflammable liquids, gases or explosives when a Hedler light unit is in use.
• Never use a Hedler light unit near any inflammable liquids, gases, materials or explosives that may be ignited
by heat or spark.
• If you light through glass surfaces, windows and decoration surfaces keep appropriate distances between the
light unit(s) and these materials, because these materials can burst if overheatet and shatter could be an risk
of injuries.
• Never store any combustible material(s) and/or any inflammable liquids, gases or explosives near any Hedler
light unit(s).
• Never touch a Hedler light unit with wet hand and/or feet.
• Never use a Hedler light unit in extremely dusty nor in exceptionally humid and/or wet conditions.
• Never obstruct the forced air cooling (intakes or exhausts) in any way when the Hedler light unit is in use.
• Never obstruct the cooling intakes or exhausts in any way when the Hedler light unit is in use.
• Under no circumstances - do not block the cooling fan of a Hedler light unit.
