WARNING!
Risk of epileptic shock
Strobe lighting can trigger seizures in photosensitive epilepsy. Sensitive persons
should avoid looking at strobe lights.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to mirror movements
The mirror mounted at the device head may perform very fast movements (pan,
tilt) and reect very bright light. This is also the case immediately after switching
on the device, with automatic or remote operation, and while a connected DMX
controller is in o state. Persons who are in the immediate 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 device before switching it

3 Features
The LED scanner is especially suited for professional lighting tasks, e.g. during events, on rock
music stages, in theatre and musical productions or in discotheques.
Special features of the device:
nLED matrix (16 × red, 15 × green, 15 × blue)
nSound control
nBuilt-in automatic show programmes
For technological reasons, the light output of LEDs decreases over their lifetime. This 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.
