• Familiarise yourself with the functions of the device before actually using it. Do not allow operation by unqualified
people. Any damage that may occur will most probably be due to unprofessional use of the device.
• Use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
• All modifications of the device are forbidden for safety reasons.
• Only use the device for its intended purpose. All other uses may lead to short circuits, burns, electroshocks,
crash, etc. Using the device in an unauthorised way will void the warranty.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. Don't connect it to a dimming pack.
4. Installation
a) Mounting the Device
• Have the device 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 device 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 device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a qualified technician
check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.
• Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
• 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.
• Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5m radius of the device.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
• Connect the device 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.
b) Lamp Power Setting
The VDP3000ST can be set at high or low power setting. The high power setting provides you maximum flash
intensity, the low power setting reduces the output by approximately 50% and extends the lamp lifetime. Select
the desired setting through DIP switch 6. The setting applies regardless of the other switch setting.

c) Lamps
• Only fit or replace a lamp when the device is unplugged from the mains.
• Let a lamp cool down before replacing it as the temperature of a lamp can reach
700°C during operation.

to insert or remove it.
• Do not install lamps with a higher wattage than what this device was designed for.
• Replace any deformed or damaged lamp with a lamp of the same type (see "Technical Specifications"):
1. Unscrew the 2 marked screws on the side of the fixture and open the front glass cover.
