WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Devices in overhead installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down. Make sure that the
device is installed securely and cannot fall down. The installation must be carried out by a specialist
who is familiar with the hazards and the relevant regulations.
The device may be placed on the floor or fastened to a truss or similar rigging structure via two clamps on the
underside. The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
•
The rigging structure must support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures to be installed on it.
•
Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform when installing the device.
•
Use rigging hardware that is compatible with the structure and capable of bearing the weight of the device.
Please refer to the “Accessories” section for a list of suitable rigging hardware.
•
Secure the device with a safety bond or other secondary attachment. This secondary safety attachment must be
sufficiently dimensioned in accordance with the latest industrial safety regulations and constructed in a way that
no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails. Use the hole in the bracket for fixation of the
safety rope. Fasten the safety rope in such a way that, in the event of a fall, the maximum drop distance of the
device will not exceed 20 cm.
•
After installation, the device requires inspections periodically to prevent the possibility of rot, deformation and
looseness.
CONNECTIONS
LED lamps
GEFAHR!
Electric shock
A dangerous mains voltage may be present at the sockets. Prior to connecting lamps, disconnect the
unit in any case from the mains.
Connect your loads to the safety sockets. It is possible to connect all types of dimmable LED light sources which
work with an operating voltage of AC 230 V. The maximum load is 200 watts per channel.
DMX512 controller
A DMX512 data link is required in order to control the device via DMX. The device provides 3-pin XLR connectors
for DMX connection.
1
Connect the output of your DMX controller to the DMX input DMX IN of the device with a DMX cable.
2
Connect the DMX output DMX OUT of the device to the DMX input of the next unit in the chain. Always connect
one output to the input of the next unit until all units are connected.
3
At the last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Plug the terminator with a 120
Ω
resistor between Signal
(–) and Signal (+) in the DMX output of the last unit.
4
If the cable length exceeds 300 m or the number of DMX devices is greater than 32, it is recommended to
insert a DMX level amplifier to ensure proper data transmission.
QuickDMX wireless receiver
The device features an alternative DMX input for a QuickDMX receiver (sold separately). This connector allows for
wireless transmission of DMX control signals to the device. The connector is designed as a USB port which
provides the required 5 V operating voltage for the receiver. With QuickDMX devices, extensive cabling between
the DMX controller and the device is not required.
Connection to the power supply
Connect the mains cable provided to the corresponding input on the device and to a mains socket. Thus the
device is powered on. To switch off the device and after the operation, disconnect the mains plug of the power
adapter from the socket. The mains output allows for several devices to be interconnected and simplifies wiring in
general.
