2. Designated use
This device was developed for professional use on stages, in discos, theatres etc. The device is only
approved for a connection up to 230V 50/60 Hz AC voltage and only for indoor use.
Regular breaks during operation increase the lifetime of your device.
Avoid convulsions or any form of forceful impact during the installation or the start-up of the device.
Make sure that the device is not exposed excessive heat, humidity or dust at the place of installation.
Take care that no cables are lying around. You would endanger your own safety and also the safety of
a third party.
It is not allowed to operate or store the device in an environment in which spray water, rain, humidity
or fog is expected. Humidity or very high atmospheric humidity could reduce the isolation of the device
and could cause deathly electric shocks. If you use fog devices the device has not be exposed to a
direct smoke jet. There has to be a safety distance of at least 0,5m between this device and the fog
machine. Make sure that the saturation of the fog has to enable a visibility of at least 10m.
Operate the device not during thunderstorms. Surge voltages could destroy the device. Unplug the
power supply during thunderstorms.
During the installation the use of the mounting bracket is obligatory.
Surrounding objects or surfaces should not be in contact with the device. And make sure that there is
a distance of at least 3m between the lenses and illuminated objects.
Make sure that during the installation and removal of the device the area below the place of
installation is basically cordoned off. This also applies to implementation of service.
The device has basically been protected by a suitable safety.
Make familiar yourself with the functions of the device before start-up. People without the experience
should not handle with the device. The most cause of functional disorder is inappropriate handling.
Do not use chemicals or volatile liquids for cleaning. Use a clean dry cloth to wipe off the dust, or a
wet soft cloth for stubborn dirt.
For transport use the original packing or designated accessory to avoid damages during the transport.
For reasons of safety unauthorized changes are forbidden.
A usage of the device which differs from usages which are described in this manual can cause
damages of the device. In that case the warranty expires. Additional you should notice that every
differed usage is related with dangers and can cause e.g. an electrical short, fire, electric shock or
crash.

4.2.DMX connections
To make a DMX512 connection go ahead like it is described in the picture. Make sure that you
use shielded cable. 3pole or 5pole XLR cables are suitable. If you use a controller with a 5 pin
DMX output connector, you will need to use a 5pin to 3 pin adapter.
4.3.DMX connection with terminator
Where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or the equipment is operated in an electrically noisy
environment like a disco for installations, we recommend using a DMX terminator. This prevents
corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR
connector with a 120 Ωresistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output
socket of the last device in the series. Please look to the bottom drawings.
