Important: Damages caused by the disregard of this user manual are not subject to
warranty. The dealer will not accept liability for any resulting defects or problems.
Make sure the electrical connection is carried out by qualified personnel. All electrical
and mechanical connections have to be carried out according to the European safety
standards.
1.2. Security-related warnings
Attention!
Be very careful when dealing with dangerous mains voltages. There is the risk
that you can suffer a very serious electric shock!
After taking the device from a warm to a cold room, it may not be put into operation. The
resulting condensation can possibly destroy the device. Do not turn on the device until it has
reached ambient temperature.
Avoid contact of the mains cable with other cables. Be very careful when dealing with mains
cables and mains connections. Never touch those with wet hands.
Make sure that the voltage to be connected does not exceed the specified values.
Make sure there is no stress or damage of the mains cable due to sharp edges. Make sure
that the device and the mains cable do not show any signs of damage by running regular
inspections.
Disconnect the device from the grid when not using it and before cleaning.
During the initial start-up of the device smoke or smells may occur. In this case there is no
malfunction of the device.
Do not turn the device on and off within short periods of time (e.g. matter of seconds).
Health risk!
Avoid looking directly into the source of light. It may cause epileptic seizures.
This applies in particular for people where epileptic seizure has been diagnosed
by a doctor.

Keep children and amateurs away from the device!
1.3. Operation of the device in accordance with its intended purpose
The STUDIO PAR PLATINUM is a device which was developed for professional use on stage, in
discotheques, theatres etc. The device is only approved for a voltage with a maximum of 230 V, 50/60
Hz AC and suitable for indoor use only.
Regular stoppages increase the life of your device.
Avoid shocks or any kind of violence during the installation or starting up of the device.
Make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat, humidity or dust at the installation spot.
Make sure that cables do not lie around. This would decrease your own safety and the safety of third
parties.
The device may not be operated or kept in an environment where splashing water, rain, humidity or
fog is expected. Moisture or very high humidity can reduce the isolation of the device and result in
lethal electric shocks. When using fog machines never expose the device directly to the fog stream.
Keep a safety distance of at least 0.5 m between the device and the fog machine. Take care that the
fog saturation enables a good visibility of at least 10 m.
The ambient temperature must be between -5°C and +45°C. Avoid exposing the device to direct rays
of the sun or next to a heating appliance. This also applies for transportation in closed vehicles.
A relative humidity of 50 % at an ambient temperature of 45°C may never be exceeded.
The device may only be operated at a level between - 20 and 2000 meters above sea level.
Do not operate the device during thunderstorms. Overvoltage could destroy the device. Disconnect
the device during thunderstorms completely from the grid by pulling the mains plug.
During installation the use of a mounting bracket is required. To ensure good air circulation, keep a
free space of at least 50 cm around the device.
Surrounding objects or surfaces may not be touched by the housing.
Make sure that during installing and uninstalling of the device the area below the installation spot is
blocked in principle. This also applies for performing service and maintenance.

The device must always be secured by an appropriate safety rope.
Familiarize yourself with the functions of the device before operating it. Do not let inexperienced
persons operate the device. Major cause for malfunctions is an incorrect usage of the device.
1.4. Overhead installation
This item’s suspension devices have to be build and measured so they can withstand for an hour
the tenfold of the payload without suffering a permanent detrimental deformation.
Basically the installation has to be made by using a second separate suspension. This can be e.g. a
suitable net. The second suspension must be designed and attached so no part of the installation can
fall down in case of failure of the main suspension.
During construction, reconstruction and deconstruction unnecessary stay in the range of moving
areas, on lightning bridges, under elevated work stations or any other danger zones is forbidden.
During installation, de-installation and servicing the device unnecessary stay below the installation
place, on lightning bridges, under elevated work stations or any other danger zones is forbidden.
The operator is responsible for getting experts to review safety-related and mechanical installations
before initial start-up or after crucial changes before restarting the device.
The operator is obliged to get an expert to check safety-related and mechanical installations at least
once a year.
Procedure
IMPORTANT! Overhead installation requires a high level of experience. This includes knowledge of
calculating the payload, used installation material and safety inspections of the used installation
material and the projector whereas the required experience is not limited to this. Do not try to carry out
installation yourself under any circumstances if you are not qualified. Contact a professional installer.
An inappropriate installation can lead to injuries and/or damaged properties.
If the device is supposed to hang from a ceiling or from high beams, the use of truss systems is
mandatory. The device must be installed in a way so it’s not possible that it can swing in the room.
Attention!
Crashing down devices can cause serious injuries! DON’T install the projector, if you doubt the safety
of a possible installation form.
DANGER OF FIRE
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inflammable material (decoration
accessories etc.) within a distance of min. 0.5m.

Mount the projector with the mounting bracket to the truss system using an appropriate clamp.
During overhead installation the projector must be always secured by a safety rope which is designed
to hold the twelvefold weight of the device. Only safety ropes with quick-release safety fastener
elements may be used. Hang up the safety rope in the hole of the mounting bracket. Direct the rope
over the truss or an appropriate fastening point. Hang up the end in the fastening element and tighten
the locking nut.
The maximum falling distance may not exceed 20 cm.
A safety rope once exposed to falling load or damaged may not be used furthermore.
Adjust the inclination with the mounting bracket and tighten the locking screws firmly.
DANGER TO LIFE
An expert must check the installation before initial start-up.
1.5. Power connection
Caution!
Never leave the device run unattended! Every person that is involved with this item has to be qualified.
Connect the item with the mains. Voltage and frequency must be exactly the same as stated on the
device. The power plug must always be inserted without force.
1.6. Cleaning and maintenance
Please make sure that the safety-related and mechanical installations are inspected by a qualified
person once a year.
1. Ensure all screws attached to the device or parts of the device are very tight and not corroded.
2. Ensure there are no deformations of the housing, attachment and installation space. This also
includes the ceiling, the suspension and the truss.
3. Electrical connection cables may not have any damages, depositions or signs of material
aging e.g. porous connections
Contaminations like dust should be removed regularly from the device. Use a lint free, damp cloth. Do
not use alcohol or solvents under any circumstances!
The cooling fan must be cleaned monthly!
Use a vacuum or an airbrush for cleaning the device’s interior.
We recommend cleaning the lenses weekly to keep the light output as high as possible.
