1. Safety instructions
Every person involved with installation and maintenance of this device have to:
- be qualiled
- follow the instructions of this manual
CAUTION!
Be careful with your operations.
With a high voltage you can suffer
a dangerous electric shock when touching the wires!
This device has left our premises in absolutely perfect condition. In order to maintain this condition and to en-
sure a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to follow the safety instructions and warning notes
written in this manual.
Important:
The manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the non-observance of this
manual or any unauthorized modication to the device.
Please consider that damages caused by manual modications to the device are not subject to warranty.
Never let the power-cord come into contact with other cables! Handle the power cord and all connections with
the mains with particular caution!
Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated on the rear panel.
Always plug in the power plug least. Make sure that the power-switch is set to OFF-position before you connect
the device to the mains. The power plug has to be accessable after installing the device.
Make sure that the power-cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Check the device and
the power cord from time to time.
Always disconnect from the mains, when the device is not in use or before cleaning it. Only handle the power-
cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power cord.
This device falls under protection class I. Therefore it is essential to connect the yellow/green conductor to
earth.
The electric connection, repairs and servicing must be carried out by a qualied employee.
Do not connect this device to a dimmer pack.
Do not switch the xture on and off in short intervals as this would reduce the lamp’s life.
During the initial start-up some smoke or smell may arise. This is a normal process and does not necessarily
mean that the device is defective.
Do not touch the device’s housing bare hands during its operation (housing becomes hot)!
For replacement use lamps and fuses of same type and rating only.
CAUTION ! EYEDAMAGES !
Avoid looking directly into the light source
(meant especially for epileptics) !

2.Operating determinations
This device is a moving-head for creating decorative effects and was designed for indoor use only.
If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature uctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on
immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until
it has reached room temperature.
Never run the device without lamp!
Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.
Never lift the xture by holding it at the projector-head, as the mechanics may be damaged. Always hold the
xture at the transport handles.
When choosing the installation-spot, please make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture
or dust. There should not be any cables lying around. You endanger your own and the safety of others!
The minimum distance between light output and the illuminated surface must be more than 3 meters.
Make sure that the area below the installation place is blocked when rigging, derigging or servicing the x-
ture.
Always x the xture with an appropriate safety rope. Fix the safety rope at the correct holes only.
Only operate the xture after having checked that the housing is rmly closed and all screws are tightly fas-
tened.
The lamp must never be ignited if the objective-lens or any housing-cover is open, as discharge lamps may
explose and emit a high ultraviolet radiation, which may cause burns.
The maximum ambient temperature 40°C must never be exceeded.
CAUTION!
The lens has to be replaced when it is obviously damaged,
so that its function is impaired, e. g. due to cracks or deep scratches!
Operate the device only after having familiarized with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not
qualied for operating the device. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation!
CAUTION!
The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged
or deformed due to the heat!
Please use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
Please consider that unauthorized modications on the device are forbidden due to safety reasons!
If this device will be operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the product may suffer
damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to dangers like short-
circuit, burns, electric shock, burns due to ultraviolet radiation, lamp explosion, crash etc.
