• A qualified technician should install and service this device.
• Do not switch the device on immediately after it has been exposed to changes in temperature. Protect the
device against damage by leaving it switched off until it has reached room temperature.
• There may be some smoke or a particular smell when the device is activated for the first time. This is normal
and any smoke or smell will gradually disappear.
• Never operate the stroboscope without glass pane or with a broken glass pane. Ask your dealer or authorized
agent to replace the glass pane.
• This device is designed for professional use on stage, in discos, theatres, etc. The VDL1500ST can be used
indoor with an alternating current of 230 VAC~50 Hz.
• Lighting effects are not designed for permanent operation: regular operation breaks will prolong their lives.
• Use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
• Keep this manual for future reference.
4. Features
• 1500W
• controls: sound (sensitivity), speed (velocity), dimmer (intensity)
5. Installation
a) Lamps
• Only fit or replace a lamp when the device is unplugged from the mains.
• Let a lamp cool down for at least 10 minutes before replacing it as the temperature of a lamp can reach
up to 700°C during operation.
• When handling a halogen lamp, do not touch it with your bare hands. Use a cloth to insert or remove it.
• Do not install lamps with a higher wattage. They get hotter than this device was designed for.
• Replace any deformed or damaged lamp with a lamp of the same type (see "Technical
Specifications"):
1. Unscrew the glass pane (4 screws) and make sure it doesn't get damaged.
2. Remove the old lamp carefully.
3. Insert the new lamp.
4. Close the glass pane and fasten the screws.
Remark: Do not operate the device when the cover is open. Replace the glass panel when
damaged.
b) Fuse
• Only fit or replace a fuse when the device is unplugged from the mains.
• If the lamp burns out, chances are you will need to replace the fuse as well.
• Unscrew the fuse holder [3] anticlockwise.
• Replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the same type and rating (see "Technical Specifications").
• Reseat the fuse holder [3] in the housing and tighten it by turning it clockwise.
• When the fuse blows again, discontinue using the device and contact your local dealer.
c) Overhead 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.
• Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable
norms.
• The construction to which the device is attached should be able to support 10 times the weight of the
device for one hour without deformation.
• 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 and inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
• For truss-mounting, use an appropriate clamp (not incl.) and fit an M10 bolt through the centre of the
(folded) bracket.
• Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
d) general
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 50cm radius of the device and there is sufficient
cooling.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electrical connection.
• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. All fixtures must be powered directly off a
grounded switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or
dimmer channel is used solely for 0% to 100% switch.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
