The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
1) All screws for installing the devices or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must not be
corroded.
2) There must not be any deformations on the housing, color lenses, fixations and installation spots (ceiling,
suspension, trussing).
3）Mechanically moved parts must not show any traces of wearing and must not rotate with unbalances.
4）The electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or sediments.
Further instructions depending on the installation spot and usage have to be adhered by a skilled installer
and any safety problems have to be removed.
In order to make the lights in good condition and extend the life time, we suggest a regular cleaning to the
lights.
1) Clean the inside and outside lens each week to avoid the weakneness of the lights due to accumulation
of dust.
2) Clean the fan each week.
3) A detailed electric check by approved electrical engineer each three month, make sure that the circuit
contacts are in good condition, prevent the poor contact of circuit from overheating.
We recommend a frequent cleaning of the device. Please use a moist, lint- free cloth. Never use alcohol or
solvents.
There are no serviceable parts inside the device. Please refer to the instructions under “Installation
instructions”.
Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local dealer.

This device has left the factory in perfect condition. In order to maintain this condition and to ensure a
safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to follow the safety instructions and warning
notes written in this user manual.
If the device has been exposed to temperature changes due to environmental changes, do not switch
it on immediately. The arising condensation could damage the device. Leave the device switched off
until it has reached room temperature.
This device falls under protection-class I. Therefore it is essential that the device be earthed.
The electric connection must carry out by qualified person.
The device shall only be used with rate voltage and frequency.
Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated at the end of this manual.
Make sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. If this would be the case,
replacement of the cable must be done by an authorized dealer.
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.
During initial start-up some smoke or smell may arise. This is a normal process and does not
necessarily mean that the device is defective, it should decrease gradually.
Please don't project the beam onto combustible substances.
Fixtures cannot be installed on combustible substances, keep more than 50cm distance with wall for
smooth air flow, so there should be no shelter for fans and ventilation for heat radiation.
If the external flexible cable or cord of this luminaire is damaged, it shall be exclusively replaced by the
manufacturer or his service agent or a similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

0.5m (1.5 ) away from any flammable materials (decora on etc.).
Always use and install the supplied safety cable as a safety measure to prevent accidental damage and/or
injury in the event the clamp fails.

:The OCTOBEAM provides two unique moun ng bracket assembly that
integrates the bo om of the base, the included “Omega Bracket,” and the safety cable rigging point in one
unit (see the illustra on below). When moun ng this fixture to truss be sure to secure an appropriately
rated clamp to the included omega bracket using a M10 screw fied through the center hole of the
“omega bracket
” . As an added safety measure be sure to a ached at least one properly rated safety cable
to the fixture using on of the safety cable rigging point integrated in the base assembly

Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your OCTOBEAM , always be sure to secure your
fixture with a safety cable. The fixture provides a built-in rigging point for a safety cable on the hanging
bracket as illustrated above. Be sure to only use the designated rigging point for the safety cable and never
secure a safety cable to a carrying handle.

Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the
male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head. You can chain multiple
Moving head together through serial linking. The cable needed should be two core, screened cable with
XLR input and output connectors. Please refer to the diagram below.
DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy
environment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in
preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an
XLR plug with a 120 Ωresistor connected between pins 2 and 3,which is then plugged into the output
XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please see illustrations below.
