2 Safety instructions
This device is intended to be used as moving-head spotlight. The device is designed
for professional use and is not suitable for use in households. Use the device only as
described in this user manual. Any other use or use under other operating conditions
is considered to be improper and may result in personal injury or property damage.
No liability will be assumed for damages resulting from improper use.
This device may be used only by persons with sufficient physical, sensorial, and intel‐
lectual abilities and having corresponding knowledge and experience. Other persons
may use this device only if they are supervised or instructed by a person who is
responsible for their safety.
DANGER!
Danger for children
Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and
are not within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard!
Ensure that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. knobs or the
like) from the unit. They could swallow the pieces and choke!
Never let children unattended use electrical devices.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by high voltages inside
Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present.
Never remove any covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Do not use the device if covers, protectors or optical components are
missing or damaged.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord)
with a protective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the
plug. Failure to do so could result in electric shock/death or fire. If in
doubt, seek advice from a registered electrician.
WARNING!
Eye damage caused by high light intensity
Never look directly into the light source.

WARNING!
Risk of epileptic shock
Strobe lighting can trigger seizures in photosensitive epilepsy. Sensitive
persons should avoid looking at strobe lights.
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Make sure that the installation complies with the standards and rules
that apply in your country. Always secure the device with a secondary
safety attachment, such as a safety cable or a safety chain.
The load capacity of trusses or other fixtures must be sufficient for the
intended number of devices. Not that the movement of the head places
additional loads on the load-bearing parts.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to movements of the device
The head of the device can move quickly (pan, tilt) and can produce
very bright light. This is also valid immediately after you turn on the
device, when the device operates in automatic mode or under remote
control and when you turn off a DMX controller that is connected to the
device. Persons staying near the device could be injured or frightened.
Before you turn on the device and during the operation, always ensure
that nobody stays close to the device. If work has to be performed in the
area of movement or in the near vicinity of the device, it must remain
turned off.
NOTICE!
Risk of fire
Do not block areas of ventilation. Do not install the device near any
direct heat source. Keep the device away from naked flames.
NOTICE!
Fire and overheating hazard
The distance between the light source and flammable materials must be
greater than 12 m. The distance to non-inflammable materials must be
greater than 2 m.
Always ensure sufficient ventilation.
The ambient temperature must always be below 40 °C (104 °F).

NOTICE!
Operating conditions
This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage,
never expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid direct sunlight,
heavy dirt, and strong vibrations.
The device must not be moved while it is in use.
NOTICE!
Power supply
Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet)
matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is pro‐
tected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result
in damage to the device and possibly injure the user.
Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused
for long periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
NOTICE!
Possible staining
The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may possibly
react with the coating of your parquet, linoleum, laminate or PVC floor
and after some time cause permanent dark stains.
In case of doubt, do not put the rubber feet directly on the floor, but use
felt-pad floor protectors or a carpet.
