Installation and Connection Instructions
Now you know how the Compar 20 Plus works. So that the device is used in the correct and safest way,
please make sure to follow the installation and connection instructions.
Make sure that children do not have access to the device or any connecting cables. If there are children
present, make sure that they are supervised. Since the device can be placed upright or be suspended, it is
possible for children to pull on any connecting cables and cause the device to fall. To prevent any accidents
or injury, this must be taken into account whenever the device is being positioned and/or installed.
Upright use
When you want to place the Compar 20 Plus in an upright position, make sure that the device is placed on a
stable surface such as a table, DJ booth or bar. The double suspension bracket is designed so that it can
function as a stand. This way, the spotlight can be directed towards your audience or positioned to provide
uplighting. Always make sure that the light is positioned on a stable surface and that any cabling is secured
so that no one can trip and knock or pull the device over.
Suspended use (brackets)
Should you want to suspend the Compar 20 Plus, use the suspension brackets, tightening knobs and rubber
rings included.
Place the rubber rings between the bracket and the fixture. Then tighten the knobs on both sides to make
sure that the bracket is secure.
If you want to suspend the device with a half-coupler or G-hook, this can be done by using the pre-drilled
holes in the bracket. Standard hooks and/or brackets for 35 or 50 mm tubes (trusses or light stands) are
available from your local retailer.
Hardware for mounting the Compar 20 Plus to the wall, ceiling, or beam is not included. Contact a specialist
if you're not sure what hardware is required for your situation. A wooden beam and stone wall require
different mounting methods.
When the Compar 20 Plus is suspended, you will need to attach a safety cable to the fixture. This is not
included but is available at your local retailer. The device is fitted with an attachment point for hooking a
safety cable. Once hooked on, the cable can be wrapped around the truss or light stand and attached once
more to the same hook. This ensures the device is secure and prevents it from falling, even if one or both of
the brackets should come loose and fail.
Ensure that the safety cable has a load capacity of 10x the weight of the armature and that the device can
not fall farther than 30cm. You can wrap the safety cable around the truss or light stand several times to
ensure the fall is as short as possible. The shorter the fall, the less chance of damage or injury.
Light source
The Compar 20 Plus uses powerful LED modules that are made even more powerful by a special lens that
combines and focuses these beams, much like a magnifying glass. Since the human eye cannot adjust
quickly enough to sudden and intense exposure to the level of brightness this device produces, never look
directly into the lens at close range. While it won't result in permanent damage, it can cause temporary blind
spots which may cause disorientation and discomfort.
Cooling
The Compar 20 Plus is cooled by fans fitted in the housing. The fans automatically switch on as soon as the
integrated temperature sensor reaches a certain level. Make sure the fans and vents are not blocked and
regularly check that they are functioning normally. Be aware that should the fans becomes clogged with
substances like dust, smoke and moisture, this may impair operation and shorten the life-span of the device.
The temperature sensor is located near the LEDs and the fans will switch on at a low speed when the
temperature reaches 35°C. If the temperature rises to a maximum of 55°C, the fans shall gradually shift to
