and servicing.
•Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The
fixture must be fixed at least 50cm from surrounding walls.
•The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be
seated.
•Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device’s
weight.
•Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12 times the weight of the device when installing the unit.
This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop
more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
•The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!
•Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
•The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by
an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled
person to be sure that safety is still optimal.

Some more information on DMX512:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light
equipment. You need to “daisy chain” your DMX controller and all the connected light
effects with a good quality XLR M/F balanced cable. To prevent strange behavior of
the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the
end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply won’t work!
Each effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the
controller it has to decode.

MAINTENANCE
•Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing.
•Switch off the unit, unplug the mains cable and wait until the unit has been cooled down.
During inspection the following points should be checked:
•All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and may not be
corroded.
•Housings, fixations and installations spots (ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any
deformation.
•When an optical lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be replaced.
•The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a
small problem is detected.
•In order to protect the device from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be
cleaned monthly.
•The interior of the device should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.
•The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp,
smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.
