Immediately upon receiving the product, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that all parts are present, and
have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damage from
shipping or the package itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the package and all packing materials. In the event that the product must be returned to
the factory, it is important that the product be returned in the original factory box and packing.
If the unit has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water
might damage your unit. Leave the unit switched off until it has reached room temperature.
The label on the backside of the unit indicates the mains voltage to which it must be connected. Check that the mains voltage corresponds to this. Any
other voltage than the one indicated may cause irreparable damage to the unit. The unit must also be connected directly to the mains voltage and no
dimmer or adjustable power supply may be used.
Always connect the unit to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the unit has an appropriate electrical ground to
avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
Stroboscope effects may cause epileptic seizures in sensitive people!
To guard against risks from epileptic seizure:
•
Do not operate the fixture near stairways, in corridors or near public exits.
•
Provide advance notice that strobe lighting is in use. Display advisory notices at the point of ticket sales, on tickets if possible, in the program,
and at the entrance(s) to the venue.
•
Avoid extended periods of continuous flashing, particularly at frequencies of 10 to 20 flashes per second. At flash rates below 5 flashes per
second, it is estimated that only 5% of flicker-sensitive persons will be at risk of seizure.
•
Make sure that personnel at the venue are trained in the care of a person who is having an epileptic seizure and able to provide care if
necessary.
•
If strobes are in use and a person has a seizure, switch the strobes off immediately.
•
Mount the fixture as high above head height as practicable.
The installation construction should be able to support a minimum point load of 10 times the weight of the device.
•
The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.
•
Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a qualified technician check the device once a year
and once before you bring it into service.
•
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, determining the installation material to be used. Have the
material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper
installation may result in injuries.
•
The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
•
The glass pane has to be replaced when it is damaged.
When carrying out any installation, always comply European and national guidelines concerning rigging, truss and all other safety issues. Always let the
installation checked out by an authorized dealer !
This unit is virtually maintenance-free, but you should check the unit regularly for mechanical and electrical aspects.
Assess the operating environment and establish an inspection and cleaning schedule that follows the guidelines below:
•
Disconnect the unit from the power supply and allow it to cool completely before inspecting and cleaning.
•
Check that the screws and bolts used to install the unit are securely tightened and free from corrosion.
•
Check the housing, fixing points and installation points, they must not show any signs of deformation, wear or fatigue.
•
Check the mechanically moving parts, these must not show any signs of wear or fatigue.
•
Check the electrical power and signal cables, they must not show any damage or fatigue.
•
Do not use solvents, abrasives or other aggressive products to clean the unit.
•
Wipe the unit and clean the glass plate with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth moistened with a weak cleaning solution. Place the solution on the cloth
and not on the surface to be cleaned. Avoid rubbing glass surfaces.
•
Dry the unit, connectors and contacts with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air before re-powering the unit.
