If any troubles arise, remove the power plug and contact your Pro Shop
representative for repair. Do not open the cabinet by yourself, it might result a
danger of electric shock.

the receptacle, be sure to hold the plug.
When not using the unit for an extended period of time be sure to disconnect the
plug form the receptacle.
1.1. Overhead Rigging
This item must be built in a way that it can hold 10 times more of its weight for 1
hour without causing any damages. The installation must be secured with a
secondary safety attachment. The Safety attachment has to be constructed in a way
that no part of the installation can fall down. When rigging, de-rigging or servicing
the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under high
working places and other endangered areas us forbidden. Before taking the device in
operation, the installation must be approved by an expert. The operator has to make
sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled
person once a year.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE.
Including (but not limited to) calculating working load limits, installation material
being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the
projector. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installations yourself,
but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in
bodily injury and/or damage to property.

IMPORTANT:
If multiple PixPad panels are being rigged together as a larger system, special care
must be taken to ensure total loads are adhered to. A maximum of 10 panels should
be hung under each other, longer drops require further bracing or load support,
please refer to a qualified expert. Horizontally mounted panels should also be picked
up from a minimum of every second panel to properly spread the load.
Use only professional trussing system if the item shall be lowered from the ceiling or
high joists. Never let the device swing freely in a room.
CAUTION: Overhead Items may cause serious injuries when crashing down!! If there
is concern about the safety then DO NOT INSTALL the device.
DANGER OF FIRE!
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly-flammable material
(decoration articles, etc) within a distance of min. 0.5m.
Mount the projector with the mounting bracket to your trussing system using an
appropriate clamp.
For overhead use, always install a safety-rope that can hold at least 10 times the
weight of the fixture. You must only use safety –ropes with quick links with screw
cap. Pull the safety-rope through the hole in the mounting bracket and over the
trussing system or a safe fixation spot. Insert the end in the quick link and tighten the
safety screw. The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20cm
A safety rope which already held the strain of a crash or which is defective must not
be used again.
DANGER TO LIFE!

1.3. Cleaning and Maintenance
Please make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are
inspected by a skilled person once a year.
1. Make sure before installing that all screws are tightly connected and not corroded.
2. There must be no deformations on the housings, fixations and installations spots
3. No damages must be showed on the power supply cables, material fatigue and
sediments
If the exterior of the unit is going to be cleaned, please use moist, lint free cloths.
