Immediately upon receiving the product, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that all parts are present, and
have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damage from
shipping or the package itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the package and all packing materials. In the event that the product must be returned to
the factory, it is important that the product be returned in the original factory box and packing.
If the unit has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water
might damage your unit. Leave the unit switched off until it has reached room temperature.
The label on the backside of the unit indicates the mains voltage to which it must be connected. Check that the mains voltage corresponds to this. Any
other voltage than the one indicated may cause irreparable damage to the unit. The unit must also be connected directly to the mains voltage and no
dimmer or adjustable power supply may be used.
Always connect the unit to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the unit has an appropriate electrical ground to
avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the first unit in a DMX chain.
Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next unit until all units are connected.
At the last unit, you must close the DMX line with a terminating resistor. Take an XLR connector and solder a 120 Ohm resistor
between signal (-) and signal (+) and connect it to the DMX output of the last unit in the line.
Units with protection class IP66 are dust-tight and completely protected against contact (first code number). They are also protected against splash water
from any angle (second code digit). That is why this unit can also be used out‐ doors. Events units are generally only designed for temporary use however
(event lighting) and not for permanent use outdoors. The specified protection class does not make a statement about the weather resistance of the units
(resistance to changing ambient conditions as well as against the effects of sunlight and UV rays). The seals and screw connections of the units must be
checked regularly to ensure a fault-free operation.
This unit is virtually maintenance-free, but you should check the unit regularly for mechanical and electrical aspects.
Assess the operating environment and establish an inspection and cleaning schedule that follows the guidelines below:
•
Disconnect the unit from the power supply and allow it to cool completely before inspecting and cleaning.
•
Check that the screws and bolts used to install the unit are securely tightened and free from corrosion.
•
Check the housing, fixing points and installation points, they must not show any signs of deformation, wear or fatigue.
•
Check the mechanically moving parts, these must not show any signs of wear or fatigue.
Check the electrical power and signal cables, they must not show any damage or fatigue.
•
•
Do not use solvents, abrasives or other aggressive products to clean the unit.
•
Wipe the unit and clean the glass plate with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth moistened with a weak cleaning solution. Place the solution on the cloth
and not on the surface to be cleaned. Avoid rubbing glass surfaces.
•
Dry the unit, connectors and contacts with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air before re-powering the unit.
