Installation and connection requirements
The Ayra ERO 704 is a versatile product and can be used in many ways. To use this device as intended and
to be sure that the product is used in a safe way, the following requirements must be met during the setup,
installation and connection of the device.
Standing installation
The ERO 704 is equipped with rubber feet at the bottom and may be used in an upright position. Please
make sure the fixture is placed on a solid surface that is perfectly horizontal. This way you can ensure that
the fixture will not fall during use. The device can be placed on a table or DJ booth, as well as truss totems. If
the fixture is being placed on a surface higher than 2 meters from the floor, near an audience, you have to
anchor the moving head to the surface via the handles and the bottom of the fixture's base. This keeps it
from falling off. You may use a small ratchet strap to secure the fixture, but please be cautious when
tightening the strap as the handles may break if the tension becomes too high. Avoid brute force.
Hanging installation
The ERO 704 comes with installation hardware for hanging installation. The ERO 704 may be installed in
any position. The included hardware was designed for permanent and mobile installation to truss and lighting
stands, but also may used for installation to a ceiling, beam or wall.
When hanging the ERO 704 from a truss, always use proper installation materials. As the thickness of the
main tubes may vary, clamps are not included in delivery. These can be purchased separately from your
local dealer. Ayra recommends using of half couplers as they will not damage your truss.
If you want to mount the ERO 704 directly to a ceiling, wall or beam, use proper installation materials to do
so, and contact a skilled engineer if necessary to find out if the material can handle it. As the material may
vary, installation hardware is not included in delivery and should be purchased separately.
If the fixture is going to be suspended from a construction (such as truss, a beam, a ceiling or a lighting
stand) the included safety eye bolt has to be mounted to the fixture in the correct place. Furthermore, a
proper safety cable has to be attached between the safety eye bolt and the construction to which it is being
mounted. This way the fixture is secure, should the primary mounting gear fail for any reason. Please note
that the safety cable has to be mounted in a way that makes it impossible for the fixture to fall more than 30
cm should the primary mounting gear fail. This prevents the fixture from swinging and possibly damaging
other nearby fixtures.
Ayra can not be held responsible for any damage or injury caused by improper use of the fixture or the
included hardware.
Transport and storage
The Ayra ERO 704 can be transported directly after shut-down. As the light sources of the ERO 704 do not
need time to cool down, the device can be stored and transported instantly.
During transport, the device must be securely protected to ensure it stays reliable and in optimal shape.
Always use the original box and packaging material to transport the unit, or a fitting flight case or flight bag if
the device is transported frequently during mobile use.
Power input and output
The ERO 704 is equipped with original Neutrik Powercon inputs and outputs. Proper connection cables anda
link cable, are included in delivery. Please notice that the corresponding colour is used to connect the fixture.
When connecting the plug to the chassis, please be aware that the connector has to be locked by turning the
connector clockwise or counter-clockwise. When you hear a 'click', the connector is in place and secured
tightly. This ensures a proper connection.
To disconnect the Powercon connectors, pull the metal lock mechanism of the connector back with your
thumb to release the locking mechanism. While pulling back the mechanism with your thumb, turn the
connector clockwise or counter-clockwise and remove the connector from its socket.
