2. Operating determination
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.
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 1.5 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 hole only.

tened.
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!
