  Vortex 1200                                           Safety Precautions

•   To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not expose this unit  

   rain or moisture

•   Do not spill water or other liquids  into or on to your unit.

•   Be sure that the local power outlet match that of the required volt- 

   age for your unit.

•   Do not attempt to operate this unit if the power cord has been   

   frayed or broken. Do not attempt to remove or break off the ground 

   prong from the electrical cord. This prong is used to reduce the risk  

   of electrical shock and fire in case of an internal short.

•   Disconnect from main power before making any type of connection.

•   Do not remove the cover under any conditions. There are no user  

   serviceable parts inside.

•   Never operate this unit when it’s cover is removed.

•   Never plug this unit in to a dimmer pack

•   Always be sure to mount this unit in an area that will allow proper  

   ventilation. Allow about 6” (15cm) between this device and a wall.

•   Do not attempt to operate this unit, if it becomes damaged.

•   This unit is intended for indoor use only, use of this product out`  

   doors voids all warranties.

•   During long periods of non-use, disconnect the unit’s main power.

•   Always mount this unit in safe and stable matter.

•   Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to  

   be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them,  

   paying particular attention to the point they exit from the unit. 

• Cleaning -The fixture should be cleaned only as recommended by  

  t he manufacturer. See page 32 for cleaning details.

•   Heat -The appliance should be situated away from heat sources  

   such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (inclu-

   d ing amplifiers) that produce heat.

•   The fixture should  be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

    A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged.

    B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance.

    C. The appliance has been exposed to rain or water.

    D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a  

        marked change in performance.

The Vortex 1200 is fully operational in two different mounting posi-

tions, hanging upside-down from a ceiling or set on a flat level sur-

face. To avoid internal damage to the unit, never mount the unit on 

its side as illustrated above. Be sure this fixture is kept at least 0.5m 

away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.). Always use 

and install the supplied safety cable as a safety measure to prevent 

accidental damage and/or injury in the event the clamp fails (see next 

page). Never use the carrying handles for secondary attachment.

When installing the unit, the trussing or area of installation must be 

able to hold 10 times the weight without any deformation. When 

installing the unit must be secured with a secondary safety attach-

ment, e.g. and appropriate safety cable. Never stand directly below 

the unit when mounting, removing, or servicing the unit. 
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including calculat-

ing working load limits, installation material being used, and perodic 

safety inspection of all installation material and unit. If you lack these 

qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself.
These installaiton should be checked by a skilled person once a year.
