5. Getting Started

Choosing a Mounting Location
The VDPLW57201 has been designed for indoor environments at temperatures up to 35°C. For
proper operation, the unit must be operated with an unobstructed air convection to its metal
housing.
Do not:
• Operate the projector in environments with an ambient temperature higher than 35°C and a relative
humidity higher than 75%.
• Operate the projector in a closed environment smaller than 10 m³ unless forced air convection is provided.
Secure Mounting
Risk of injury. Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits,
determining the installation material to be used... Have the material and the device itself checked
regularly. Do not attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper
installation may result in injuries.
• The VDPLW57201 is designed to be mounted on the floor or on a gantry.
• Have the projector installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable norms.
• The carrying construction must be able to support 10 times the weight of the projector for 1 hour without
deforming.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.
• Never stand directly below the projector when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a qualified
technician check the projector once a year and once before you bring it into service.
• Install the projector in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
• Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5 m radius of the projector.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
• Connect the projector to the mains with the power plug. Do not connect it to a dimming pack.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
Connection to the AC Power Supply
The AC socket providing power to the VDPLW57201 must be properly and separately
earthed. Do not use any other AC cords than the one provided or any other AC cord not
authorized by the manufacturer.
• Simply insert the supplied AC power cord into the power input [8] and insert the power plug into a suitable
wall outlet.
DMX Connection
Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.
• When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of a controller (not incl.) and the other
side to the male 3-pin XLR input [5] of the VDPLW57201. Multiple VDPLW57201s can be linked through
serial linking. The linking cable should be a dual core, screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.
• A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an
electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos). The terminator prevents corruption of the digital control signal by
electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor between pins 2 and 3, which
is then plugged into the XLR output socket [6] of the last device in the chain.
