Thank you for having chosen a EUROLITE DTB-405. You will see you acquired a powerful and versatile
device.
Unpack your DTB-405.
Before you initial start-up, please make sure that there is no damage caused by transportation. Should there
be any, consult your dealer and do not use the device.
2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION!
Be careful with your operations. With a dangerous voltage you can suffer a dangerous
electric shock when touching the wires!
This device has left our premises in absolutely perfect condition. In order to maintain this condition and to
ensure a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to follow the safety instructions and warning
notes written in this user manual.
Important:
Damages caused by the disregard of this user manual are not subject to warranty. The dealer
will not accept liability for any resulting defects or problems.
If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it
on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off
until it has reached room temperature.
This device falls under protection-class I. The power plug must only be plugged into a protection class I
outlet.
Always plug in the power plug last.
Never let the power-cord come into contact with other cables! Handle the power-cord and all connections
with the mains with particular caution!
Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated on the rear panel.
Make sure that the power-cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Check the device and the
power-cord from time to time.
Always disconnect from the mains, when the device is not in use or before cleaning it. Only handle the
power-cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power-cord.
The total weight of the installation (=total weight of all individual parts) must never exceed the maximum load
of the dimmer bar.
The stand must only be installed on a plane area with a maximum inclination angle of 5°.
Caution:
Stands may cause severe injuries when crashing!
When using stands under the influence of horizontal forces, e.g. through wind, the standing safety can be
impaired. This is why additional safety measures like attaching ballast weights have to be taken.
If inclined tension cables or prolonged outriggers are used, the area of danger has to be marked or even be
blocked.
