POWER SUPPLY
The device can be operated with mains voltage and for mobile use via the internal rechargeable battery.
Mains operation
1
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable. Do not connect it to a dimming
pack.
2
The IEC jack Power Out allows for power supply of further devices. A maximum of 8 fixtures may be
linked together. After every 8 devices, the fixtures must have a renewed connection with the power
mains. Matching power cables with IEC plugs and IEC inline jacks are available as accessory.
3
When operating the device via the mains, the automatic charging for the rechargeable battery is always
active even if the unit is switched off. To prevent unnecessary power consumption, always disconnect
the mains plug from the mains socket if the unit is not used for a longer period.
The occupation of the connection cables is as follows:
Cable Pin
International
Brown Live
L
Blue Neutral
N
Yellow/Green Earth
The earth has to be connected! If the device will be directly connected with the local power supply network, a
disconnection switch with a minimum opening of 3 mm at every pole has to be included in the permanent electrical
installation. The device must only be connected with an electric installation carried out in compliance with the IEC
standards. The electric installation must be equipped with a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a maximum fault current
of 30 mA.
Connection between devices
On the side panel, there is a socket (Power Out). Connect the output with the mains input of the next fixture
until all fixtures are connected.
Please note:
A maximum of 8 devices may be linked together. After every 8 devices, the fixtures must have
a renewed connection with the power mains.
Rechargeable Battery Operation
Prior to operating the device off mains for the first time, the rechargeable battery must be fully charged.
1
Switch on the device with the power switch. The operating time of the battery depends on the operating
mode and the ambient temperature (max. 8 hours). After the operation, switch the device off.
2
For charging the battery, connect the device to a power outlet via the enclosed power cable. The
charge indicator to the left of the display lights up red (charging active). When the battery is fully loaded,
the charge indicator to the right of the display lights up green. Charging time is 4.5 hours. The device
may be operated during the charging procedure.
3
The device features a protective circuit for charging which prevents overload of the rechargeable
battery. However, disconnect the device from the mains after charging. Otherwise there will be a low
current consumption even if the device is switched off.
4
The device will heat up during charging; this is normal.
5
To prevent damage to the battery by deep discharge, recharge a battery completely discharged as soon
as possible. Do not store the unit with the battery completely discharged and regularly recharge the
battery in case of long storage.
Battery status
The display indicates the battery charging status by bars (see graphic). If all bars are displayed, the battery
is fully loaded. If no bar is displayed, the battery is going flat. In this state, the device can be operated for a
few minutes. Then an emergency switch-off deactivates the device to protect it from total discharge.
