This device falls under protection class I. It is therefore essential that the device be earthed.
Have a qualified person carry out the electric connection.
•Connect the device to a power line equipped with a 16 A automatic fuse.
•Make sure that the available voltage does not exceed the voltage stated in the specifications of this manual.
•Do not crimp the power cord and protect it against damage. If the external flexible power cable or cord of
this luminaire is damaged, it shall be exclusively replaced by the manufacturer or his service agent or a
similar qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
•Shields shall be changed if they have become visibly damaged to such extent that their effectiveness is
impaired, e.g. by cracks or deep scratches.
•Use an appropriate safety cable to fix the device (e.g. VDLSC7N or VDLSC8N).
•The maximum ambient temperature is 45 °C. Do not operate the device at higher temperatures.

3. General Guidelines
Refer to the Aed Distribution® Service and Quality Warranty on the last pages of this manual.
Keep this device away from dust and extreme temperatures. Make sure the ventilation
openings are clear at all times.
Protect this device from shocks and abuse. Avoid brute force when operating the device.
•Familiarise yourself with the functions of the device before actually using it. Do not allow operation by
unqualified people. Any damage that may occur will most probably be due to unprofessional use of the
device.
•All modifications of the device are forbidden for safety reasons. Damage caused by user modifications to
the device is not covered by the warranty.
•Only use the device for its intended purpose. All other uses may lead to short circuits, burns, electroshocks,
lamp explosion, crash, etc. Using the device in an unauthorised way will void the warranty.
•Damage caused by disregard of certain guidelines in this manual is not covered by the warranty and the
dealer will not accept responsibility for any ensuing defects or problems.
•A qualified technician should install and service this device.
•Do not switch the device on immediately after it has been exposed to changes in temperature. Protect the
device against damage by leaving it switched off until it has reached room temperature.
•This device is designed for professional use on stage, in discos, theatres, etc. The device should only be
used indoors with an alternating current of 230 VAC, 50 Hz.
•This lighting effect is a blinder and is designed to operate briefly at full power. Do not use this device at full
power for longer than 10 seconds.
•Use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
•Keep this manual for future reference.

4. Installation
Lamps
•Only fit or replace a lamp when the device is unplugged from the mains.
•Let a lamp cool down before replacing it as the temperature of a lamp can reach 700 °C during operation.
•Do not install lamps with a higher wattage than that for which this device was designed.
Replace any deformed or damaged lamp with a lamp of the same type (see “Technical Specifications”):
1. Unscrew the screw at the top holding the vented lid and gently remove the lid.
2. Remove the old lamp and insert the new one.
3. Carefully reposition the lid and fasten the screw.
Warning: Do not operate the device when the cover is open.
Mounting the Device
•Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable norms.
•The carrying construction must be able to support 10 times the weight of the device for 1 hour without
deforming.
•The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.
•Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a qualified
technician check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.
•Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
•Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, determining the installation
material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not attempt to install
the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may result in injuries.
•Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
•Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5 m radius of the device.
•Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
•Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. All devices must be powered directly off a grounded
switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel
is used solely for 0 % to 100 % switching.
•The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.

5. Use
Plug the power socket into the power supply (230 VAC, 50 Hz). This blinder is DMX-controlled via one channel.
DMX-512 Connection
•When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female XLR output of a controller (not incl.) and the other
side to the male XLR input of the device. Multiple devices can be linked through serial linking. The linking
cable should be a dual core, screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.
•Maximum recommended serial data link distance is 500 meters (1640 ft). Maximum recommended number
of devices on a serial data link is 32 devices.
•DMX chain with terminator:
A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable
has to run a long distance or used in an electrically noisy environment (e.g.
discos). The terminator prevents corruption of the digital control signal by
electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω
resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output
socket of the last device in the chain.
DMX Start Address Selection
•All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the signals.
This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to the DMX
controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an individual address can
be set for every device.
•When all devices have the same address, all the units will “listen” to the control signal on one particular
channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices simultaneously. If you
set individual addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel number. Changing the settings of
one channel will only affect the device in question.
•In case of the 1-channel mode, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1), the second
to 2 (CH2), the third to 3 (CH3), and so on. The highest start address is 512.
In case of the use of a n-channel mode, you have to set to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1),
the second to 1 + n the third to 1 + 2n and so on.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance
•All screws should be tightened and free of corrosion.
•The housing, the lenses, the mounting supports and the installation location (e.g. ceiling,
suspension, trussing) should not be deformed, modified or tampered with; e.g. do not
drill extra holes in mounting supports, do not change the location of the connections…
•Mechanically moving parts must not show any signs of wear and tear.
•The electric power supply cables must not show any damage. Have a qualified technician
maintain the device.
•Disconnect the device from the mains prior to maintenance activities. Let the device cool
down.
•Wipe the device regularly with a moist, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
