DANGER!
Danger to life due to electric current!
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 when covers, safety equipment or optical components are missing or damaged.
DANGER!
Danger to life due to electric current!
A short circuit could lead to a re hazard and risk of death. Always use proper ready-made insulated triple-core mains cable with a
safety plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the plug. In case of isolation damage, disconnect immediately the power supply and
arrange repair. If in doubt, seek advice from a qualied electrician.
WARNING!
Risk of eye damage caused by high light intensity!
The device generates highly intense light radiation. Looking directly into the light source can damage the eyes. Never look directly
into the light source.
WARNING!
Risk of epileptic t due to ashing lights!
The device emits ashing lights (strobe eects). Flashing lights can trigger epileptic ts in specic people. If you are at risk of epi‐
lepsy, avoid spending longer periods of time subjected to ashing lights and looking into strobing light.
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by falling due to unsuitable trusses and other xtures!
If trusses or other xtures are not designed for the weight of the intended number of moving heads, falling can cause severe injury
and considerable damage. Before mounting, ensure that the load capacity of trusses and other xtures is sucient for the intended
number of devices. Take into account any additional load that aects the load bearing parts due to the movement of the head.
When installing and operating, make sure to follow the standards and regulations that apply in your country. Always secure devices
with a secondary safety attachment, such as a safety cable or a safety chain.

CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to unexpected movements of the device!
The device head may perform fast movements and generate very bright light. This is the case immediately after the device is
switched on, in automatic or remote operation, and when a connected DMX controller is switched o. Persons who are in the imme‐
diate vicinity of the device may be injured or frightened by this. Make sure that there are no obstacles within the movement range of
the mirror, and that no persons are in the immediate vicinity of the head before switching it on and during its operation. Switch o
the device before any work is performed in the movement range or immediate vicinity of the device, or if unauthorised persons are
in that area.
NOTICE!
Risk of re due to covered vents and neighbouring heat sources!
If the vents of the device are covered or the device is operated in the immediate vicinity of other heat sources, the device can over‐
heat and burst into ames. Never cover the device or the vents. Do not install the device in the immediate vicinity of other heat
sources. Never operate the device in the immediate vicinity of naked ames.
NOTICE!
Damage to the device if operated in unsuitable ambient conditions!
The device can be damaged if it is operated in unsuitable ambient conditions. Only operate the device indoors within the ambient
conditions specied in the “Technical specications” chapter of this user manual. Avoid operating it in environments with direct sun‐
light, heavy dirt and strong vibrations. Avoid operating it in environments with strong temperature uctuations. If temperature uc‐
tuations cannot be avoided (for example after transport in low outside temperatures), do not switch on the device immediately.
Never subject the device to liquids or moisture. Never move the device to another location while it is in operation. In environments
with increased dirt levels (for example due to dust, smoke, nicotine or mist): Have the device cleaned by qualied specialists at reg‐
ular intervals to prevent damage due to overheating and other malfunctions.
