The fixture is equipped with 3 pin XLR Sockets for DMX input and output. The sockets are wired in parallel. Only use a shielded
twisted pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3 pin XLR plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or
the fixture with another.

When rigging a unit it is very important that you follow common safety procedures. Rigging requires extensive experience includ-
ing but not limited to calculating working loads, material being used and periodic safety inspections. If you lack these qualifica-
tions, do not attempt the installation yourself, instead use a professional structural rigger.
When rigging the unit always be secured with a secondary safety attachment. The installation location of the projector has got to
be built in the way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour with out any harming. Installation should be checked at least
one time a year by a skilled person.

Cleaning and maintenance
Installation Maintenance: The operator has to make sure that the unit is operating safely and has the installations and electron-
ics checked by an expert every 2 years.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
1) All screws used for installing the device or part of the device have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded.
2) There must not be any deformations on the housing, fixation and installation spots (ceiling, suspension, trussing).
3) The electronic power supply cables must not show any damages, material fatigue (e.g. porous cables) or sediments. Further
instructions depending on the installation spot and usage have to be adhered by a skilled installer and any safety problems
have to be removed.
Disconnect from mains before starting maintenance operation!
Caution Danger to life!
We recommend a frequent cleaning of the device. Please use lint free cloth don’t use rubbing alcohol.
1) The Fixture will require periodic cleaning on usage and environment. Environment with foggers will require more periodic
cleaning as fog fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light output.
2) The drape fixture should be cleaned using a vacuum hose.

out by authorized dealers.
Replacing the fuse: Only replace the fuse with the same type and rating.
