Warning
Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure
that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be
returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.
Your shipment includes:
●Performer Profile Mini MKII 5600K with Schuko power
cable (1,4 m)
●1 x safety cable

LED Expected Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration
of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular
optimum conditions. For this reason, when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is
significantly reduced. If improving the lifespan is of higher priority, place care in providing for lower
operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall
projection intensity.

Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to
run synchronized shows of two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined
number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the
data link can support.
Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard, no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically
isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @ 110V: 70 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @ 230V: 145 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together, you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables
directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable,
please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic
interference.

Cleaning
Please follow the next recommendations when cleaning and inspecting lenses and reflectors:
Do not use glass or window type cleaners on lenses (glass or polymer) or reflectors.
Do not use abrasive materials such as steel wool.
Replace lenses if they contain visible damage (cracks or deep scratches) which that may impair their
effectiveness.
Cleaning 19°, 26°, and 36° Glass Lenses
01) Remove the beam focus controls at the bottom of the barrel. Remove the lens tube from the barrel.
02) Dampen a clean lint-free cloth with vinegar or household ammonia. You may also use water, but it
will leave spots that can be removed by gently polishing the lens with a clean and dry cloth.
03) Starting from the center, gently wipe the lens.
04) Slide the lens tube back into the barrel with the color frame-retaining clip on top. Replace the beam
focus controls.
Cleaning the Reflector
Unplug the fixture before attempting to clean the reflector. To quickly clean the reflector,
remove the lens tube and clean the dust from the reflector with a blast of oil-free air.
You may also wipe the reflector with a clean lint-free cloth. If either method is not
sufficient, follow the instructions below. You will need a screwdriver to complete this
procedure.
01) Remove the barrel rotation controls located at the bottom of the barrel. Use a screwdriver to remove
the retainer bolt located on top of the reflector housing.
02) Rotate the barrel by 45° in either direction. Carefully remove the barrel from the reflector housing.
03) Dampen a clean lint-free cloth with alcohol or distilled water (alcohol is recommended).
04) Gently wipe the reflector.
05) Insert the barrel into the reflector housing with the gobo slot on top (line up the triangles on both
parts).
06) While pressing in gently, rotate the barrel by 45° clockwise until it sets into position. Then, rotate the
barrel counterclockwise by 45°. The barrel should be firmly attached and the triangles should line up
again.
07) Replace the barrel rotation controls and tighten the retainer bolt.
Maintenance
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by an expert after every year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by a skilled person once a year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
01) All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and
must not be corroded.
02) There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.
03) Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.
04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.
The Performer Profile Mini MKII 5600K requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit
clean.
Otherwise, the fixture’s light output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power supply, and
then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass cleaner and
a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
The front lens will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light-
output very quickly.
Please clean internal components once a year with a light brush and vacuum cleaner.
Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power.
