future reference. Please follow all instructions in this manual.
Electric shock due to improper mains connection.
This product corresponds to the protection class I in its design and may only be operated at a socket with
protective contact. Use only the supplied power cord to connect. Do not modify the power cord or plug, and
check the insulation of the cable regularly for damage. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire or life. In
case of uncertainties, contact an authorized electrician.
DANGER!
Electric shock due to high voltages inside the device.
The device contains components that are subject to a high electrical voltage. Do not modify or disassemble the
unit. There are no user-serviceable components inside the device. Failure to do so may result in electric shock,
fire or life.
NOTE!
Disconnection from the mains.
The mains plug is the main disconnect element. Unplug the power cord from the power source. Make sure that
the power outlet is close to the unit and is easily accessible.
DANGER!
WARNING!
Operating conditions.
To avoid damage, do not expose the unit to liquids or moisture. If there is a suspicion that liquid may have
penetrated into the device, the device must be immediately disconnected from the mains. This also applies if the
unit is exposed to high humidity. Even if the device still seems to work, it must be checked by an expert whether
the liquid penetration may have been impaired. Reduced insulation can cause fatal electric shocks. Avoid direct
sunlight, strong dirt and strong vibrations.

Never look directly into the light source. A direct view into the beam can lead to retinal burns and must be
avoided at all circumstances.

1.3 Intended use.!
The INVOLIGHT “IPBAR1818" is a light unit with colored light effects. It was developed and designed for
professional use in the field of event technology - exclusively indoors. The device may only be used by
persons with sufficient physical, sensory and mental abilities as well as the appropriate knowledge and
experience. Other persons may only use the device if they are supervised or instructed by a person
responsible for their safety.
The device is only approved for AC power, 100-240Volt and 50 / 60Hz power supply.
Light effect devices such as “IPBAR1818" are sensitive and technically advanced devices that must be
handled with care. Therefore, avoid shocks and violence during assembly / disassembly and the use of the
device.
Install "IPBAR1818" only in places that are protected from dust, moisture and excessive heat. The approved
operating temperature must be in the range -5 ° to + 45 ° Celsius and the relative humidity must not exceed
50% (at + 45 °)! Direct sunlight should be avoided during use and during transport. In the interests of your
own safety and those of others, make sure that there are no cables around.
During thunderstorms, the device must be disconnected from the power supply!
Moving heads are generally to be secured with an approved safety rope when suspended!
"IPBAR1818" is designed only for professional use, if you are familiar with the functions and are familiar with
the operation. Only allow other people to work with the device if you are sure they are familiar with the
features as well. In most cases, malfunctions are a consequence of a previous maloperation.
Damage resulting from failure to comply with the intended use and instructions given in this manual will void
the warranty and may result in consequences such as short-circuit, fire, electric shock, or dropping the
device (s). Unauthorized changes to the device are prohibited for security reasons.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper installation and insufficient security!
Part 2: Installation.!
Unpack the device and carefully check for damages before using it. Place the unit in a suitable place or hang
it on a suitable crossbar. For suspended installation, the device must be secured with an approved safety
rope. In addition, the mounting bracket must be screwed with the enclosed screws and tightened! Then
connect the device to the mains and, if necessary, connect a DMX cable and connect it to other devices or a
DMX controller. More about DMX or Master / Slave operation also in part 3 and 4.
During installation, provisions of the BGV C1 (formerly VBG 70) and DIN 15560 must be observed!

Part 10: Troubleshooting.
The device does not work, no light:
Check the mains connection and the main fuse.
No response to the DMX controller:
Check the DMX connectors and cables for correct connection. Check the address settings and the DMX
polarity. Check whether the DMX cables are near or next to high voltage cables. Try another DMX controller.
If the instructions given here do not lead to success, please contact your specialist dealer.
Part 11: Maintenance.
Cleaning and maintenance:
It is essential that you clean the projector at regular intervals. Disconnect the device from the mains before
maintenance work!
The lens should be cleaned on a weekly basis, since fog fluid residues settle very quickly, which
considerably reduce the light output of the device.
