Cleaning and Maintenance
Installation Maintenance: The operator has to make sure that the unit is operating safely and has the installations and
electronics 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.
Note: There is no serviceable parts inside the device. Maintenance and service operations are to be carried out by au-
thorized dealers.
Replacing the fuse: When possible only replace the fuse with the same type and rating.
Replacing the power cable: If the power cable of this device becomes damaged, it has to be replaced by authorized
dealers or trained professional only.

3. Unit is to be 24inches away from flammable materials (decoration material)
4. Use high quality installation equipment to hang unit.
When rigging a unit it is very important that you follow common safety procedures. Rigging requires extensive experi-
ence including but not limited to calculating working loads, material being used and periodic safety inspections. If you
lack these qualifications, 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.
