Installation and connection requirements
Now that you know how the ERO 406 works, it's important to know how to use it correctly and safely,
according to the installation and connection requirements.
Make sure the device and connection cables are out of reach of children, and that if children are present,
they are under adult supervision at all times. Because this device can be used upright or suspended, children
could pull on the cables, causing the device to fall on top of them. To avoid injury, it is important to pay close
attention to the position and/or installation of this device.
Upright use
If you want to use the ERO 406 in an upright position, ensure that the device is placed on a stable surface
like a table, DJ booth or T-bar. The ERO 406 is equipped with rubber feet that grip suitable surfaces.
Suspended use (brackets)
When you want to suspend the ERO 406, attach the supplied mounting bracket to the bottom of this device
and use the included mounting materials.
If you want to mount a half coupler or a G-hook to the brackets, it is advised to do this before mounting the
brackets to the armature. You can find standard hooks and/or brackets for 35 or 50mm tubes (truss or light
stand) at your local dealer.
Hardware for mounting the ERO 406 to the wall, ceiling, or beam is not included. Contact a specialist if
you're not sure which hardware is required for your situation. A wooden beam and stone wall require different
mounting methods.
Should you want to suspend the ERO 406, you will need to attach a safety cable to the armature. This is not
included, but is available at your local dealer. The safety cable can be pulled through the space under the
hanging bracket. Once this is done, you can wrap the cable around the truss or light stand and attach it again
by means of the same hook. This ensures the device is secured and prevents it from falling, should the
clamp holding the bracket fail for any reason.
Ensure that the safety cable has a load capacity of 10x the weight of the armature and that the device can
not fall farther than 30 cm. You can wrap the safety cable around the truss or light stand several times to
ensure the fall is as short as possible. The shorter the fall, the less chance of damage or injury.
Light source
The ERO 406 contains powerful LED modules that create an even more powerful effect thanks to a special
lens that bundles the beams together. Never look directly into the lens at close range, as the human eye
can't adjust to the sudden intensity of the beam of light this device produces. It won't result in permanent
injury, but it can cause temporary blind spots, which may cause disorientation and discomfort.
Cooling
The ERO 406 is cooled by fans that are installed in the head and in the housing. These will be activated
when the device is turned on. Make sure the fans and vents are not blocked and regularly check that they
are functioning normally. Be aware that should the fans suck in substances like dust, smoke and moisture,
this may impair their operation and shorten the life of the device.
Parts and repair
This product does not include spare parts and can not be repaired by the user. All inspections and overall
maintenance should be done by a specialist.
Cleaning and maintenance
