IMPORTANT: 

The manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the non-observance of 
this manual or any unauthorized modification to the device.

connections with the mains with particular caution! 

 

Never remove warning or informative labels from the unit. 

 

Never use anything to cover the ground contact. 

 

Never lift the fixture holding it by the projector-head, as the mechanics may be damaged. Always 
hold the fixture by the transport handles.

Never leave any cables lying around. 

 

Do not insert objects into air vents. 

 

Do not switch the device on and off in short intervals, as this would reduce the device’s lifespan. 

 

Do not touch the device’s housing bare-handed during its operation. Allow the fixture to cool for at 
least 5 minutes before handling. 

 

Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.

cord from time to time. 

 

If the lens is obviously damaged, it has to be replaced to prevent its functions from being impaired, 
due to cracks or deep scratches. 

 

If device was dropped or struck, disconnect mains power supply immediately. Have a qualified 
engineer inspect for safety before operating. 

 

If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not
