Installation and Connection Instructions
Now you know how the TDC Seawave works. So that the device is used in the correct and safest way,
please make sure to follow the installation and connection instructions.
Make sure that children do not have access to the device or any connecting cables. If there are children
present, make sure that they are supervised. Since the device can be placed upright or be suspended, it is
possible for children to pull on any connecting cables and cause the device to fall. To prevent any accidents
or injury, this must be taken into account whenever the device is being positioned and/or installed.
Upright use
When you want to place the TDC Seawave in an upright position, make sure that the device is placed on a
stable surface such as a table, DJ booth or bar. The TDC Seawave is not fitted with rubber feet to grip the
ground and stabilise the device. As such, always make sure that the light is positioned on a stable surface
and that any cabling is secured so that no one can trip and knock or pull the device over.
Suspended use (brackets)
Should you want to suspend the TDC Seawave, use the suspension brackets, tightening knobs and rubber
rings included.
Place the rubber rings between the bracket and the fixture. Then tighten the knobs on both sides to make
sure that the bracket is secure.
If you want to suspend the device with a half-coupler or G-hook, this can be done by using the pre-drilled
holes in the bracket. Standard hooks and/or brackets for 35 or 50 mm tubes (trusses or light stands) are
available from your local retailer.
Hardware for mounting the TDC Seawave to the wall, ceiling, or beam is not included. Contact a specialist if
you're not sure what hardware is required for your situation. A wooden beam and stone wall require different
mounting methods.
When the TDC Seawave is suspended, you will need to attach a safety cable to the fixture. This is not
included but is available at your local retailer. The device is fitted with an attachment point for hooking a
safety cable. Once hooked on, the cable can be wrapped around the truss or light stand and attached once
more to the same hook. This ensures the device is secure and prevents it from falling, even if one or both of
the brackets should come loose and fail.
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 30cm. 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 TDC Seawave uses powerful LED modules that are made even more powerful by a special lens that
combines and focuses these beams, much like a magnifying glass. Since the human eye cannot adjust
quickly enough to sudden and intense exposure to the level of brightness this device produces, never look
directly into the lens at close range. While it won't result in permanent damage, it can cause temporary blind
spots which may cause disorientation and discomfort.
Cooling
The TDC Seawave is cooled by fans fitted in the housing. These fan automatically switch on when the
device is switched on. Make sure the fans and vents are not blocked and regularly check that they are
functioning normally. Be aware that should the fans becomes clogged with substances like dust, smoke and
moisture, this may impair operation and shorten the life-span of the device.
Parts and repairs
This product does not include spare parts and can not be repaired by the user. Any inspections and overall
maintenance should be carried out by a specialist only.
