3. Unpacking the device
Content of the package: The headlight, a Powercon connection cable.
Open the packaging carefully on the top side and check the headlight and accessories for
possible transport damages. These should be reported immediately to the transport
company.
4. Installation
The device comes with a ready made-up Powercon connection cable. 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. 60 VA
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

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
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, please use only approved holding devices such as
superclamps or couplers.
Make sure that the truss construction on which you mount the device complies with the
safety regulations. When using a truss, always secure the spotlight with a safety device that
complies with the national regulations. Use the safety eyelet on the device for this purpose.
7. Control Panel
The spotlight has a display to show the set parameters and four buttons to adjust them. This
control panel allows you to adjust all the parameters of the spotlight according to your needs.
Operation of the menu
Each setting must be confirmed with ENTER!
The last setting confirmed with ENTER is active after a restart. In DMX mode it is absolutely
necessary to confirm the DMX address again after changing the MODE.
