The housing must not be removed! There are no parts to be maintained in the device.
Inside the unit there are components which are under high electrical voltage.
Before each use, check the device for damage or the absence of components, protective
devices or housing parts. If this is the case, the device must not be used!
Leave maintenance and repair work to a qualified service workshop or contact your
dealer. In the case of a malfunction of the device, operation must also be stopped
immediately until the device has been repaired by a specialist!
DANGER! (Electric shock due to short circuit)
Modifications to the power cord or plug are prohibited. If the power cord is damaged, it
must be replaced immediately with an original spare part from the manufacturer. Failure to
do so may result in fire or death due to electric shock!
DANGER! (For babies and children)
Dispose of or store any packaging material properly! Packaging material must be kept out
of the reach of babies and children due to the risk of suffocation.
Ensure that children never use the appliance unattended! In addition, make sure that
children do not remove (small) parts from the device, as they could suffocate by swallowing
parts!
WARNING! (High light intensity - eye injuries)
A direct view into the light source is absolutely to be omitted!
WARNING! (Epilepsy)
Stroboscopic effects (flashes of light) can trigger seizures of epilepsy in some people.
Accordingly sensitive people should be warned and should not be in the vicinity of such

Hint! (Operating conditions)
In accordance with DIN EN 60529, the protection class designation IP (International
Protection) is appended to 2 code numbers. The 1st code number stands for the extent of
protection of a housing against foreign bodies and contact. The 2nd code number, on the
other hand, describes the scope of protection against the ingress of water.
This device is classified as IP65.
1st code number of the IP code: Devices with protection class IP65 are dustproof and
completely protected against contact.
2nd code number of the IP code: In addition, the devices are protected against water
jets from any angle, so that these devices can also be used outdoors.
However, event technology devices are only suitable for temporary use.
Continuous outdoor operation is not recommended!
Hint! (Power supply)
It is essential that you check that the device voltage matches your local mains voltage. It
is highly recommended that you fuse your mains socket with a residual current circuit
breaker (FI).
If you do not use your device for a longer period of time or carry out maintenance work,
disconnect the device from the mains in order to minimize danger. The same applies to
storm conditions such as thunderstorms, floods, etc.
Hint! (Error during data transmission)
Never connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as power amplifiers or
mixing consoles!
DMX cables enable trouble-free operation and the highest possible transmission reliability
of signal data. Do not use microphone cables!
Hint! (Condensation)
To avoid condensation in the unit, the unit should adapt to the ambient temperature
before commissioning.
Hint! (Unwanted odours)
A new product can sometimes lead to unwanted odours. This reaction is normal and
disappears after a few minutes.

mode takes place via the menu directly on the device.
If you connect several devices of the same type via DMX, they can be controlled simultaneously
via the master device. To do this, set the desired function "Master" on the first device of the line,
the other devices of the series must now be set as "Slave". Now the first device of the line gives
the function to all other devices and all devices run simultaneously.
