WARNING! Before carrying out any operations with the unit,
carefully read this instruction manual and keep it with cure
for future reference. It contains important about the installation,
usage and maintenance of the unit.
SAFETY
General InstrUctIon
• The products referred to in this manual conform to the European Community
Directives and are there-fore marked with CE:.
• The unit is supplied with hazardous network voltage (230V~). Leave servicing
to skilled personnel only. Never make any modications on the unit not de-
scribed in this instruction manual, otherwise you will risk an electric shock.
• Connection must be made to a power supply system tted with efcient earth-
ing (Class I appliance ac-cording to standard EN 60598-1 ). It is, moreover,
recommended to protect the supply lines of the units from indirect contact
and/or shorting to earth by using appropriately sized residual current devices.
• The connection to the main network of electric distribution must be carried out
by a qualied electrical installer. Check that the main frequency and voltage
correspond to those for which the unit is designed as given on the electrical
data label.
• Never use the xture under the following conditions:
- in places wet;
- in places subject to vibrations or bumps;
- in places with an ambient temperature of over 45° C.
• Make certain that no inammable liquids, water or metal objects enter the
xture.
• Do not dismantle or modify the xture.
• All work must always be carried out by qualied technical personnel. Contact
the nearest sales point for an inspection or contact the manufacturer directly.
• If the unit is to be put out of operation denitively, take it to a local recycling plant
for a disposal which is not harmful to the environment.
WarnInGs and InstallatIon precaUtIons
• Never let the power cord come into contact with other cables! Handle the power
cord and all connections with the mains with particular caution!
• Never modify, bend, mechanically strain, put pressure on, pull or heat up the
power cord.
• Never strain the cable. There must always be sufcient cable going to the device.
Otherwise, the cable will be damaged, which can cause serious damage.
• Never remove warning or informative labels from the unit.
• Never use anything to cover the ground contact.
• Never lift the device holding it by the projector-head, as the mechanics may be
damaged
• Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.
• Only operate the device after having checked if the housing is rmly closed and all
screws are tightly fastened.
• Only operate the device after having familiarized with its functions.
• Avoid ames and do not put close to ammable liquids or gases.
• Always allow a free air space of at least 0.8 m around the unit for ventilation.
• Always disconnect power from the mains, when device is not used or before
cleaning! Only handle the power cord holding it by the plug. Never pull out the plug
by tugging the power cord.

Page 6
• Make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat or dust.
• Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated on the rear panel.
• Make sure that the power cord is never crimped or damaged. Check the device
and the power cord from time to time.
• Make sure that the core diameter of extension cords and power cords is suf-
cient for the required power consumption of the device.
• Always hold the device by the transport handles.
• Never place any material over the LEDs or lens.
• Never look directly into the light source.
• Never leave any cables lying around.
• Never use the device during thunderstorms, unplug the device immediately.
• Never leave various parts of the packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene foam, nails,
etc within children’s reach, as they potential sources of danger.
• Do not insert objects into air vents.
• Do not open the device and do not modify the device.
• Do not connect this device to a dimmer pack.
• Do not switch the device on and off in short intervals, as this will reduce the
device’s life.
• Do not touch the device’s housing bare-handed during its operation (housing be-
comes very hot). Allow the device to cool for at least 5 minutes before handling.
• If the lens or LEDs are obviously damaged, they need to be replaced to prevent
their functions from being impaired, due to cracks or deep scratches.
• If the external cable is damaged, it has to be replaced by a qualied technician.
• If device was dropped or struck, disconnect mains power supply immediately.
Have a qualied engineer inspect for safety before operating.
• 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.
• If your device fails to work properly, discontinue the use immediately. Pack the unit
securely (preferably in the original packing material), and return it to your dealer
for service.
• For adult use only. The device must be installed beyond the reach of children.
Never leave the unit running unattended.
• Never attempt to bypass the thermostatic switch or fuses.
• For replacement use fuses of same type and rating only.
• This device is heavy. When handling, use a two-person lift to prevent injury.
• The user is responsible for correct positioning and operating of the device. The
manufacturer will not accept liability for damages caused by the misuse or incor-
rect installation of this device.
• This device falls under protection class I. Therefore it is essential to connect the
yellow/green conductor to earth.
• Repairs, servicing and electric connection must be carried out by a qualied
technician.
Rigging
This device is heavy. When handling, use a two-person lift to prevent injury.
Please follow the European and national guidelines concerning rigging, truss-
ing and all other safety issues.

dmX connectIon
The projectors are connected in series to a DMX console.
Connect the projectors as shown in the diagram above.
- Connect the male side of the DMX cable to the output of the DMX512 console.
- Then connect the DMX output of the projector to the input of the next projector.
- Repeat the operation on the whole chain.
The use of a termination plug is strongly recommended. In some cases the
absence of this termination is not problematic, on the other hand its presence
is very strongly recommended in disturbed spaces (Stage, long line length, TV
studio etc.). Its value is generally 120 Ohms. The plug is an XLR male plug into
which a resistance of 120 Ohms ¼ of W. is welded between 2 and 3. This plug
prevents the reection of information transmitted when using long lengths of
cable.

This mode remains activated via the Control channel (19, 22 or 25 depending on the DMX
mode chosen); when the value of the Control channel has been validated between 60 and
69, the Pan and Tilt will take the shortest path to go to the next position.
When the value of the Control channel has been validated between 50 and 59,
the Pan and Tilt will take the “logical as a function of the virtual stop” path to go to the next
position.
This function is valid for Pan and Tilt.
