Condensation may form on your KHAMSIN in the following cases:
• Immediately after turning on the heating
• In places with fog or a high level of humidity
• When the luminaire is suddenly moved from a cold to a warm
environment, or vice versa.
In such cases, you must wait until the luminaire readjusts to the ambient
temperature of the room where it will be installed for operation.
Do not shake the KHAMSIN while installing or handling.
Do not pull the KHAMSIN by one of its cables to move it. Lift the luminaire
by its handles.
Choosing the appropriate place to install the KHAMSIN is essential. The
following points should be observed:
• Do not expose it to a heat source.
• Do not install it near flammable materials.
• Be sure that dust or miscellaneous debris cannot clump around the
body of the luminaire as this may interfere with its optimal cooling and
proper operation.
• The KHAMSIN must be installed out of reach of the public and all
persons not authorized to operate the luminaire.
We recommend a minimum distance of 5 m between the outside surface
of the light and the illuminated object.
Due to the nature of its cooling principle, you should never prevent air
from circulating around the body of the luminaire. You must provide a
minimum clearance around your KHAMSIN to allow for cooling.
The KHAMSIN can be installed in a ground pit or any other confined
enclosure only under certain conditions. With this kind of installation, a
system of forced ventilation should be used up to allow air to circulate
freely around the luminaire(s). The air must be constantly renewed
because the luminaire cannot be operated in closed system. Failure to
comply with these requirements may destroy or prematurely wear the
KHAMSIN, and AYRTON cannot be held responsible. Please consult your
AYRTON dealer for more information on this type of installation.
No load should be placed on the KHAMSIN. The fixture must not be
installed in such a way as to allow a person, vehicle or any object to run
over or park on it.
Never lay or drop any hard, heavy, or blunt, objects on the KHAMSIN. This
includes items made of glass or porcelain (e.g., bottles, dishware, or glass
beads). The luminaire is made of materials such as plastic and extruded
aluminum, making it resistant but not unbreakable. Objects made of hard
materials such as steel or glass that fall on the unit may cause breakage
of the plastic parts or the body. AYRTON cannot be held responsible for
the luminaire’s broken plastic parts or body, which are not covered under
warranty.
The temperature of the room where the KHAMSIN is installed must never
exceed 45°C (Ta = 45°C).
The KHAMSIN luminaire requires a 110-240 VAC supply voltage. Check
that your luminaires have been installed for an application that is
compatible with this information.
Check that the brackets on which you hang or attach your KHAMSIN can
sustain the weight of the luminaire (39,8 kg), taking into consideration all
necessary safety factors.
Do not use your KHAMSIN before being familiar with these recommendations
and do not allow unqualified personnel to handle the product.
To transport your KHAMSIN, we strongly recommend that you use the
complete original packaging, including the dense protective foam inserts.
If your KHAMSIN is not being used for a long period, you should disconnect
the luminaire from the power source.
Never dispose of the KHAMSIN in a rubbish bin. Ensure that it is recycled.
Please consult the current legislation in your country on recycling
electronic equipment.
PRESENTATION AND FEATURES
KHAMSIN is a non-waterproof moving head wash light (IP20 protection
rating) using the latest generation of high-performance of LED-type lamps.
This luminaire can be controlled remotely by an external DMX512 signal.
The KHAMSIN incorporates high power white LED source.
The luminaire requires from 40 to 64 DMX channels to be controlled via
an external command system that sends a DMX512 signal (see below for
details).
To adjust the settings on the KHAMSIN (i.e., DMX address, DMX operating
mode and other options), a Remote Device Management (RDM)-type DMX
controller may be required. The DMX RDM protocol is a universal, widely
used standard.
There are a multitude of RDM DMX controllers on the market from different
manufacturers (excluding AYRTON). It is worth noting that an RDM DMX
controller is not required to change the settings on the KHAMSIN. A light
console or any standard DMX-type controller is sufficient.
The KHAMSIN consists of a metal frame and plastic covers. The power
connectors and DMX512 signal connectors are on the back of the fixture’s
base.
