IMPORTANT
Th s product must be nstalled n accordance w th the appl cable nstallat on code, by a person
fam l ar w th the construct on and operat on of the product, and the hazards nvolved.
These l ght sources are not ma ns d mmable.
The LED array n th s l ght source s not replaceable. When t reaches end of l fe the whole un t
must be replaced.
Type Y Attachme t: If the external flex ble cable or cord of th s lum na re or assoc ated
PSU/dr ver s damaged. It shall be exclus vely replaced by the manufacturer or h s serv ce agent
or a s m lar qual f ed person to avo d a hazard.
Locatio : Do not locate th s l ght source closer than 200mm from any flammable surface.
Cleara ce / Ve tilatio : It s mperat ve that a gap of 200mm s le around the un t. Th s s to
allow a r to c rculate and prevent overheat ng. The locat on must have free vent lat on and must
not have an amb ent temperature h gher than that spec f ed for the lum na re.
Mou ti g: Th s s a f xed lum na re. See mount ng plate nstruct on on Page 3 for
f x ng to surface.
War i g: Never look d rectly nto the lum na re LED l ght source.
War i g: The lum na re should be pos t oned so that prolonged star ng nto the
lum na re at a d stance closer than 0.33m s not expected.

INSTALLATION
ATTACH THE LIGHT SOURCE TO ITS MOUNTING PLATE
F t the metal mount ng plate to the base of the l ght source before mak ng electr cal
connect ons.
Remove the mount ng plate and the four plast c 2 part (screw and r vet body) from the box.
Invert the l ght source and remove the four rubber feet. Separate the screws from the r vet
bod es and push f t the r vet bod es nto the holes vacated by the feet.
Al gn the plate aga nst the r vets and secure the plate to the l ght source w th the four plast c
screws us ng an M4 poz -dr ve screwdr ver. Do not overt ghten. The l ght source can now be
f xed securely to the mount ng surface.
Note: Mount ng plate d agram s nd cat ve only.

INSTALLATION
The l ght source s powered from a desktop 12V DC power supply un t.
The power supply un t s an IEC nput dev ce and caters for UK/European/other ma ns suppl es
us ng the relevant power cord.
POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
There are 2 connect ons requ red – the f bre port and the ma ns supply cable. The f bre port
should be connected f rst. Connect and secure the f bre opt c connector nto the collar and
secure us ng the M5 lock ng screw.
Connect the PSU to the DC nput jack socket on the l ght source, and connect the IEC cable to
the PSU. Plug the ma ns plug nto the electr cal supply socket. Sw tch on power the led
nd cator w ll llum nate and the l ght source s ready for use. If no l ght s produced consult the
TROUBLESHOOTING sect on of th s user gu de.
Note that these l ght sources are not ma ns d mmable.

There are 3 connect ons requ red – the f bre port, the ma ns supply cable and the DMX control
cable(s). The f bre port should be connected f rst. Connect and secure the f bre opt c connector
nto the collar and secure us ng the M5 lock ng screw.
Connect the PSU to the DC nput jack socket on the l ght source, and connect the IEC cable to
the PSU. Plug the ma ns plug nto the electr cal supply socket. Sw tch on power the led
nd cator w ll llum nate and the l ght source s ready for use. If no l ght s produced consult the
TROUBLESHOOTING sect on of th s user gu de.
Connect the DMX control cable(s) to the M n -XLR sockets on the rear of the l ght source. The
recommended plug for these sockets s Mult comp SVP556-TA. The p n out deta ls for the plugs
are shown below. E ther socket may be used as DMX n or DMX out.
