of less than 8.3 meters from the front surface of the product. Do not view the light output with optical
instruments or any device that may concentrate the beam.
This product is for professional use only. It is not for household use.
This product presents risks of severe injury or death due to fire and burn hazards, electric shock and falls.
Read this manual before installing, powering or servicing the fixture, follow the safety precautions listed below and
observe all warnings in this manual and printed on the fixture. If you have questions about how to operate the fixture
safely, please contact your supplier
PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK
lDisconnect the fixture from AC power before removing or installing any cover or part and when not in use.
lAlways ground (earth) the fixture electrically.
lUse only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both overload and
ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
lBefore using the fixture, check that all power distribution equipment and cables are in perfect condition and rated for
the current requirements of all connected devices.
lPower input and throughput cables must be rated 20 A minimum, have three conductors 1.5 mm² (16 AWG) minimum
conductor size and an outer cable diameter of 5 - 15 mm. Cables must be hard usage type (SJT or equivalent) and
heat-resistant to 90° C minimum.
lUse only PowerCon cable connectors to connect to power input sockets. Use only PowerCon cable connectors to
connect to power throughout sockets.
lIsolate the fixture from power immediately if the power plug or any seal, cover, cable, or other component is
damaged, defective, deformed, wet or showing signs of overheating. Do not reapply power until repairs have been
completed.
4

lDo not expose the fixture to rain or moisture.
lRefer any service operation not described in this manual to a qualified technician.
lSocket outlets used to supply fixture fixtures with power or external power switches must be located near the fixtures
and easily accessible so that the fixtures can easily be disconnected from power.
PROTECTION FROM BURNS AND FIRE
lDo not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40° C .
lThe exterior of the fixture becomes hot during use. Avoid contact by persons and materials. Allow the fixture to
cool for at least 10 minutes before handling.
lKeep all combustible materials (e.g. fabric, wood, paper) at least 100 mm away from the head.
lKeep flammable materials well away from the fixture.
lEnsure that there is free and unobstructed airflow around the fixture.
lDo not illuminate surfaces within 200 mm of the fixture.
lDo not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses.
lIf you relay power from one fixture to another using power throughput sockets, do not connect more than ten fixture
fixtures in total to each other in an interconnected chain.
lConnect only other fixture fixtures to fixture power throughput sockets. Do not connect any other type of device to these
sockets.
lDo not stick filters, masks or other materials onto any optical component.
lDo not modify the fixture in any way not described in this manual
PROTECTION FROM INJURY
lDo not look continuously at LEDs from a distance of less than 8.3 meters from the front surface of the fixture without
protective eyewear such as shade 4-5 welding goggles. At less than this distance, the LED emission can cause eye
injury or irritation. At distances of 8.3 meters and above, light output is harmless to the naked eye provided that the
eye’s natural aversion response is not overcome.
lDo not look at LEDs with magnifiers, telescopes, binoculars or similar optical instruments that may concentrate the light
output.
lEnsure that persons are not looking at the LEDs from within 8.3 meters when the product lights up suddenly. This can
happen when power is applied, when the product receives a DMX signal, or when SERVICE menu items are selected.
lFasten the fixture securely to a fixed surface or structure when in use. The fixture is not portable when installed.
lEnsure that any supporting structure and/or hardware used can hold at least 10 times the weight of all the devices they
support.
lAllow enough clearance around the head to ensure that it cannot collide with an object or another fixture when
it moves.
lCheck that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened.
lBlock access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing, servicing or moving
the fixture.
lDo not operate the fixture with missing or damaged covers, shields or any optical component.

Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before installing, powering, operating or servicing the
fixture. Before applying power to the fixture:.
lCarefully review “Safety Information” starting on page 3.
lCheck that the local AC mains power source is within the fixture’s power voltage and frequency ranges.
lSee “Power cables and power plug” on page 8. Install a PowerCon power input connector on a suitable
power cable. If drawing power from a mains power outlet, install a suitable power plug on the power cable.

AC power
Warning! Read “Safety Information” starting on page 3 before connecting the fixrures to AC mains power.
Warning! For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The powerdistribution
circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault)protection.
Warning! Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the fixture with power must be located
near the fixture and easily accessible so that the fixtures can easily be disconnected from power.
Important! Do not insert or remove live PowerCon connectors to apply or cut power, as this may cause arcing at
the terminals that will damage the connectors.
Important! Do not use an external dimming system to supply power to the fixture, as this may cause damage to
the fixture that is not covered by the product warranty.
The fixture can be hard-wired to a building electrical installation if you want to install it permanently, or a power plug that is
suitable for the local power outlets can be installed on the power cable.
,
Warning! Check that the voltage range specified on the fixture s serial number label matches the local AC mains
power voltage before applying power to the fixture.
The fixtures accept AC mains power at 100-240 V nominal, 50/60 Hz. Do not apply AC mains power to the fixture at any
other voltage than that specified on the fixture’s serial number label.

Data link
A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control a fixture via DMX.
The fixture has 3-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output. The pin-out on all connectors is pin 1 = shield,
pin 2 = cold (-), and pin 3 = hot (+).
Or the fixture has 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output. The pin-out on all connectors is
pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = cold (-), and pin 3 = hot (+). Pins 4 and 5 in the 5-pin XLR connectors are not used
To add more fixtures or groups of fixtures when the above limit is reached, add a DMX universe and another daisy-
chained link.
Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot transmit control data
reliably over long runs. 24 AWG cable is suitable for runs up to 300 meters. Heavier gauge cable and/or an amplifier is
recommended for longer runs.
To connect the fixture to data:
1.Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the closest fixture’s male 3-pin XLR DMX input connector.
2.Connect the DMX output of the fixture closest to the controller to the DMX input of the next fixture and continue
connecting fixtures output to input.
