2 Safety instructions
This device is intended for use as a freely moving multifunctional 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 sucient 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.
Extend the operating life of the device by regular breaks and by avoiding frequent
switching on and o. The device is not suitable for continuous operation.
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.
Completely disconnect the device from the power supply before you
open or remove covers. Mount all covers and attach them rmly before
connecting the device again.
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 re. If in
doubt, seek advice from a registered electrician.

WARNING!
Risk of epileptic shock
Strobe lighting can trigger seizures in photosensitive epilepsy. Sensitive
persons should avoid looking at strobe lights.
WARNING!
Danger of burns and eye injuries caused by high light intensity
The light source used in this device produces visible and invisible light
beams of high intensity.
Never look directly into the light source.
Do not use the device when covers, shieldings, lenses or other optical
components are missing or damaged. In particular, avoid prolonged
direct exposure of the skin during maintenance without adequate cover
of the light source.
WARNING!
Risk of burns
The surface of the device can become very hot during operation.
Do not touch the device with bare hands during operation, and after
switching o wait for at least 15 minutes.
WARNING!
Danger of burns in case of inappropriate handling of the illuminant
The light source used in this device is under high pressure, especially
when heated, and can explode if handled inappropriately.
Allow the illuminant to cool down for at least two hours before starting
any maintenance or replacement. Always wear suitable protective
gloves and safety glasses when handling the illuminant.
WARNING!
Danger of poisoning on lamp breakage
When discharge lamps break, small amounts of harmful substances (e.g.
mercury) are released.
When a discharge lamp breaks within a closed room: Vacate the room
immediately and ventilate adequately.
To remove the remnants of broken discharge lamps wear Nitrile protec‐
tive gloves, breathing and mouth protection.
Dispose of broken or worn discharge lamps as hazardous waste

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.
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 o 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 o.
CAUTION!
Danger of injury in case of inappropriate handling of the illuminant
After the specied lifetime of the used illuminant there is an increased
risk of explosion.
Replace the illuminant in time, latest at the end of rated average life‐
time.
When replacing the illuminant, all safety instructions for handling light
sources must be observed and wear suitable protective gloves and
safety glasses.
NOTICE!
Risk of re
Do not block areas of ventilation. Do not install the device near any
direct heat source. Keep the device away from naked ames.

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.
Only operate the device within the ambient conditions specied in the
chapter ‘Technical specications’ of this user manual. Avoid heavy tem‐
perature uctuations and do not switch the device on immediately after
it was exposed to temperature uctuations (for example after transport
at low outside temperatures).
Dust and dirt inside can damage the unit. When operated in harmful
ambient conditions (dust, smoke, nicotine, fog, etc.), the unit should be
maintained by qualied service personnel at regular intervals to prevent
overheating and other malfunction.
The device must not be moved during 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 re.
NOTICE!
Possible damage due to installation of a wrong fuse
The use of dierent types of fuses can cause serious damage to the unit.
Fire hazard!
Only fuses of the same type may be used.
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 oor
and after some time cause permanent dark stains.
In case of doubt, do not put the rubber feet directly on the oor, but use
felt-pad oor protectors or a carpet.

eect increases with higher operating temperature. You can extend the service life of
the illuminants by providing adequate ventilation and operating the LEDs with the
lowest possible brightness.
