OVERHEAD RIGGING



Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper
installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires
extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials
should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.



Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging
and servicing.



Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The
fixture must be fixed

at least 50cm

from surrounding walls.



The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be
seated.



Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device’s
weight.



Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when installing the unit.
This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop
more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.



The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!



Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.



The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by
an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled
person to be sure that safety is still optimal.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS



Once connected to the mains the device starts running.



Regular breaks during operation are essential to maximize the life of this device as it is not designed for
continual use.



Do not switch the unit on and off in short time intervals as this reduces the lamp life.



The units’ surface temperature may reach up to 85°C. Don’t touch the housing with bare-hands during its
operation.



Always unplug the unit when it is not used for a longer time or before replacing the bulb or start servicing.



In the event of serious operating problems, stop using the fixture and contact your dealer immediately.



Important:

Never look directly into the light source! Don’t use the effect in the presence of persons

suffering from epilepsy.

MAINTENANCE



Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing.



Switch off the unit, unplug the mains cable and wait until the unit has been cooled down.

During inspection the following points should be checked:



All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and may not be
corroded.



Housings, fixations and installations spots (ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any
deformation.



When an optical lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be replaced.



The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a
small problem is detected.



In order to protect the device from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be
cleaned monthly.



The interior of the device should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.



The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp,
smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.



Clean with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning products.



Always dry the parts carefully.



Clean the external optics at least once every 30 days.



Clean the internal optics at least every 90 days.
