DANGER!
Danger to life due to electric current!
A short circuit could lead to a re hazard and risk of death. 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.
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.
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!
Danger of burns on the device surface!
The surface of the device becomes very hot during operation. Skin contact can result in burns. Never touch the device with your bare
hands during operation. After switching o the device, wait for at least 15 minutes before touching it.

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 due to high voltages!
The device can be damaged if it is operated with the incorrect voltage or if high voltage peaks occur. In the worst case, excess vol‐
tages can also cause a risk of injury and res. Make sure that the voltage specication on the device matches the local power grid
before plugging in the device. Only operate the device from professionally installed mains sockets that are protected by a residual
current circuit breaker (FI). As a precaution, disconnect the device from the power grid when storms are approaching or it the device
will not be used for a longer period.
NOTICE!
Risk of re by exceeding the maximum current
The device can supply power to other devices of identical design and connected in series. If too many devices are connected, the
power consumption can exceed the maximum permitted power consumption, which can cause the device to overheat and burst
into ames. Only connect devices of identical design to the device. When deciding how many devices you can connect in series,
make sure that the maximum permitted power consumption as stated on the device is not exceeded. Also refer to the specications
in the technical specications for the device. Only use power cords with a cable cross-section designed for the required current
intensity when connecting the devices in series.

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.

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.

WARNING!
Incorrect handling of lithium batteries can result in injury!
In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium bat‐
teries can cause severe injuries.
Handle lithium batteries in a correct and professional manner.
Store lithium batteries in a cool and dry place in their original packaging.
Keep lithium batteries away from sources of heat.
Never open lithium batteries.
Only charge rechargeable lithium batteries with a suitable charger.
Remove the lithium batteries before disposing of the device. Cover the poles of
used lithium batteries with adhesive tape to prevent short circuits.
Electrolyte can escape from damaged lithium batteries. Put the damaged lithium
battery in air-tight packaging. Collect the electrolyte with absorbent paper. Wear
rubber gloves while doing so.

WARNING!
Risk of injury from falling devices that were inadequately secured!
If devices are not properly secured during assembly, they can cause severe injury
and considerable damage by falling.
When installing and operating, make sure to follow the standards and regulations
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 due to bad ventilation!
If the device is badly ventilated, the device can overheat.
Do not operate the unit at ambient temperatures outside the specied tempera‐
ture range (see chapter "Technical data" of the user manual).
Always ensure sucient ventilation at the operating location.

NOTICE!
Potential property damage due to unsuitable stands!
If the device is mounted on an unsuitable stand, there is a risk that the stand will
fall over and cause damage.
Only use stands whose maximum bearing capacity is at least as high as the
weight of the device. Always ensure that the stand is stable.
NOTICE!
Data transfer errors due to improper wiring!
If the DMX connections are wired incorrectly, this can cause errors during the data
transfer.
Do not connect the DMX input and output to audio devices, e.g. mixers or ampli‐
ers.
Use special DMX cables for the wiring instead of normal microphone cables.

NOTICE!
Possible damage due to moisture penetrating into open connectors!
Moisture entering open connectors (plugs and couplings) of DMX and power
supply cables can cause short circuits and damage to connected xtures.
Always seal unused connectors with end caps intended for this purpose
(www.thomann.de).
You can install the unit in hanging or standing position. When in use, the device must always
be attached to a solid surface or an approved truss. Use the openings provided on the two-
piece bracket for attaching.
Always work from a stable platform whenever installing, moving or servicing the unit. In doing
so, the area underneath the unit must be cordoned o.
Please note that this device must not be connected to a dimmer.

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).

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.
