2. Safety Instructions
ATTENTION: Disconnect the device from the power supply before
opening the device. Touching live parts can cause an electric shock.
Make sure that the mains voltage to be connected is not higher than the voltage indicated on
the type plate. This device should only be operated with the power source specified on the
type plate.
If you are not sure what type of power supply you have, contact your dealer or your power
company.
Always disconnect the device from the power supply before carrying out cleaning work,
changing fuses or replacing parts.
The mains plug must always be accessible after installation of the spotlight. Do not overload
the sockets or extension cords under any circumstances, as this could lead to fire or electric
shock. Do not place any objects on the power cord. Do not install the spotlight in such a way
that people can trip over the power cord or step on it. Make sure that the power cord can
never be crushed or damaged by sharp edges. Check the unit and the power cord from time
to time
Always leave maintenance work to a qualified technician.
ATTENTION: This light corresponds to protection class I. Therefore this
light must be connected to a mains socket with earthing contact.
Some smoke and odour may be produced during the initial start-up. This is a normal
procedure and does not necessarily mean that the device is defective.
The device becomes hot during operation. Never touch the device with bare hands during
operation!
When replacing fuses, only use fuses of the same type with identical values. Have fuses
replaced only by a qualified technician.
ATTENTION: EYE DAMAGE! Do not look into the light source for a long
time during operation. This can be harmful to the eyes. Possibly
dangerous radiation.

If the device was exposed to strong temperature fluctuations (e.g. after transport), the device
must not be switched on immediately. The resulting condensation water can damage your
device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.
Do not shake or bump the device. Avoid brute force during installation or operation.
This spotlight is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.
When choosing the installation location, make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme
heat, humidity or dust.
Ventilation openings and slots in the head and foot of the spotlight are provided for
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the device and protect it from overheating, these
openings must not be covered.
Never cover the front lens when the headlight is in use.
The openings should never be covered with fabrics or other objects so that the airways are
blocked.
This device must not be operated in an environment without sufficient ventilation.
The device may only be operated when the housing is closed and all screws / snap
connectors are tightened.
The device must always be secured with an additional safety device.
Make sure that the area underneath the spotlight is clear during installation, conversion and
dismantling.
ATTENTION: The distance between the light emission and the
illuminated surface must be at least 2.0 meters.
The front lens must be replaced if it is visibly damaged so that its
function is impaired, e.g. by cracks or deep scratches!
To avoid damaging the internal parts of the lamp base, never let sunlight
shine directly into the front lens.
The maximum ambient temperature of 45°C must not be exceeded.
Do not operate the device until you have familiarized yourself with its functions. Prevent

Please use the original packaging or specially adapted flight cases when transporting the
device.
3. Unpacking the device
Contents of the package: The headlight, a PowerCon connection cable and Omega brackets
for mounting.
Carefully open the packaging on the top side and check the headlight and accessories for
possible transport damage. Any damage should be reported immediately to the transport
company.
4. Installation
A ready-made PowerCon connection cable is supplied with the device. Please use only the
supplied cable or a cable of the same type assembled by a specialist. The connection of the
device to the power supply must also be carried out by an authorized specialist.
Connection in Germany/Europe:
Connected loads: voltage 100-240 V, frequency 50 - 60 Hz, power max. 120W, 0.9A
The electrical safety as well as the function of the device is only guaranteed if it is connected
to a properly installed protective conductor system. It is very important that this basic safety
requirement is present. In case of doubt, have the electrical installation checked by a
specialist. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by a missing or
interrupted protective conductor (e.g. electric shock)! Only use the device in a completely
assembled state so that no electrical components can be touched. (danger 100-240 V)
If you have observed the listed points, you can plug in the devices or have them connected to
the mains by a specialist.

ATTENTION: The spotlight may light up immediately if standalone
operation is activated or a DMX signal is applied!
5. DMX-Connection
The DMX cabling (signal lines) should be done with a 2-wire cable with shielding. We
recommend a DMX cable with 110 Ohm, 2x0,22mm2or 4x0,22mm2. The plugs and sockets
are 3-pin XLR-connectors, which can be purchased in specialized shops.
Pin assignment:
Pin1 = Ground / Shielding
Pin2 = DMX -
Pin3 = DMX +
The spotlight has a DMX-in and DMX-out connection. Now connect the DMX output of your
controller to the first spotlight (Controller DMX-Out -> Spotlight DMX-In). Then connect the
first spotlight with the second spotlight and so on. In some cases it is advisable to plug in a
so called end plug/end resistor (XLR plug with a resistor of 120 Ohm between pin 2 and pin
3). Whether or not an end plug is required depends on various factors, including the cable
lengths used and the number of units. However, as long as there are no problems in the DMX
line, it is not necessary.

6. Mounting the device
Warning: There must be a 0.5m safety distance between the light source
and flammable material and a minimum distance of 2.0m between the
light source and the surface to be illuminated.
The spotlight can either be positioned or suspended from a truss system. Horizontal
mounting to the truss is also permitted.
If you place the unit on the floor, you may only operate the unit on a hard surface, as the air
inlets in the foot must remain free!
To hang the unit on a traverse system, use the Omega-Clamps with snap connectors
supplied.
Make sure that the snap connectors engage securely. Make sure that the truss construction
on which you mount the device complies with the safety regulations. When installing a truss,
