LED LIGHTBAR 4TC
Never
repair a fuse or bypass the fuse holder.
Always
replace a damaged fuse with a fuse of the same
type and electrical specifications!
In the event of serious operating problems, stop using the fixture and contact your dealer immediately.
The housing and the lenses must be replaced if they are visibly damaged.
Please use the original packing when the device is to be transported.
Due to safety reasons it is prohibited to make unauthorized modifications to the unit.
Important:
Never look directly into the light source! Don’t use the effect in the presence of persons suffering
from epilepsy.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
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.
BUILDING TOGETHER AND INSTALLING ON A LIGHT STAND:
When the LED LIGHTBAR 4TC is installed on top of a light stand, make sure to choose a stand with
the adapted specifications: excellent stability, adapted load capacity to hold the bar safely, etc.
If the product is not assembled yet, unpack all parts and put them on a table.
Assemble the 4 projectors as follows:
On the metal bar you will see 4 holes: put the projector in front of the hole on the bottom of the bar and
push the bolt from the bottom up. Keep the following order during the assembly:
Bolt (C)
Leather washer (B)
Projector with its bracket (D)
Leather washer (B)
LIGHT BAR
Leather washer (B)
Wing nut (A)
Repeat this action for the 4 projectors. (refer to the drawing to see how the 4
panels should be fixed correctly)
Insert the LED power cable (G) in the back of the four corresponding panels.
When the 4 panels are fixed to the 4bar, open the knob of the 35mm adapter (15)
and put the assembled LED LIGHTBAR 4TC on top of a stable light stand (not
included).
Tighten the knob of the adapter (15) and connect all cables (see later)
You can still align the panels in different directions.
Done!
