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 short-circuit
Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord). Do not modify the mains cable. Failure to do so could result in
electric shock/death or re. If in doubt, seek advice from a registered electrician.
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.
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 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.
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.
Safety instructions
Bull 200 IP 11

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 protected 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!
Fire hazard due to exceedance of the maximum current
The device can power other devices of identical construction. The current consumption of all other devices connected in series must
not exceed the values indicated in the technical specications. Otherwise you risk injuries and irreparable damages to the device.
Only connect so many identical devices that the maximum current consumption is not exceeded. Ensure the sucient dimensioning
(wire cross section) of the power cables used for all devices connected in series.
NOTICE!
Possible staining
The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may possibly react with the coating of your surface and after some time
cause permanent dark stains. In case of doubt, do not put the rubber feet directly on the surface and use a suitable underlay if neces‐
sary, i.e. felt pads or similar.

3 Features
The fanless spotlight is suitable for demanding outdoor use as well as for TV and theatre.
Special features of the device:
n1 × 4in1 RGBWW COB LED (200 W each)
nControl via DMX (3 modes) or via buttons and display on the unit
nLarge beam angle with even light spread
nFour selectable dimmer curves and halogen dimming behaviour
nFlicker-free PWM dimming
nStrobe eect
nAutomatic programmes and colour macros
nMaster / Slave operation
nSound control
nRobust aluminium housing with sturdy stand
nDegree of protection IP65
Equipment with protection class IP65 are dust-tight and completely protected against contact
(rst code number). They are also protected against splash water from any angle (second code
digit). That is why this equipment can also be used outdoors. Event technology equipment is
generally only designed for temporary use however (event lighting) and not for permanent
use outdoors.
Information about protection
class IP65
Features
Bull 200 IP 13
LED Spotlight

The specied protection class does not make a statement about the weather resistance of the
equipment (resistance to changing ambient conditions as well as against the eects of sun‐
light and UV rays).
The seals and screw connections of the equipment must be checked regularly to ensure a
fault-free operation. In cases of doubt, consult a specialist workshop in due time.
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.

4 Installation
Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep the
equipment packaging. To fully protect the product against vibration, dust and moisture during
transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable
for transport or storage, respectively.
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.
NOTICE!
Risk of overheating
Always ensure sucient ventilation.
The ambient temperature must not exceed the limits stated in the chapter Tech‐
nical Specications of the User Manual.
Installation

NOTICE!
Use of stands
When mounting the device onto a stand, ensure that the stand is in a safe and
stable position and that the weight of the device does not exceed the maximum
permissible load capacity of the stand.
NOTICE!
Possible data transmission errors
For error-free operation make use of dedicated DMX cables and do not use ordi‐
nary microphone cables.
Never connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as mixers or ampli‐
ers.
NOTICE!
Possible damage due to moisture
Moisture entering into open connectors (plugs and couplers) of DMX or power
cords can cause short circuits.
Close unused connectors with end caps intended for this purpose
(www.thomann.de).

5 Starting up
Create all connections while the device is o. Use the shortest possible high-quality cables for
all connections. Take care when running the cables to prevent tripping hazards.
Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or another DMX
device. Connect the output of the rst DMX device to the input of the second one, and so on
to form a daisy chain. Always ensure that the output of the last DMX device in the daisy chain
is terminated with a resistor (110 Ω, ¼W).
Connections in DMX mode

When you congure a group of devices in master/slave mode, the rst unit will control the
other units for an automatic, sound-activated, synchronized show. This function is ideal when
you want to start a show immediately. Connect the DMX output of the master device to the
DMX input of the rst slave device. Then connect the DMX output of the rst slave device to
the DMX input of the second slave device and so on.
