INSTALLATION
WARNING! Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Devices in overhead installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down. Make sure
that the device is installed securely and cannot fall down. The installation must be carried out by
a specialist who is familiar with the hazards and the relevant regulations.
The device may be placed on the floor or fastened to a truss or similar rigging structure. The device must
never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
1
The rigging structure must support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures to be installed on it.
2 Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform when installing the device.
3 Use rigging hardware that is compatible with the structure and capable of bearing the weight of the
device. Please refer to the “Accessories” section for a list of suitable rigging hardware.
4 Secure the device with a safety bond or other secondary attachment. This secondary safety attachment
must be sufficiently dimensioned in accordance with the latest industrial safety regulations and
constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails. An
appropriate eyelet is mounted on the device for fixation of the safety rope. Fasten the safety rope in such
a way that, in the event of a fall, the maximum drop distance of the device will not exceed 20 cm.
5 To align the device, release the fixation screws at the mounting bracket, adjust the desired inclination
angle and retighten the fixation screws.
6 After installation, the device requires inspections periodically to prevent the possibility of rot, deformation
and looseness.
CONNECTIONS
DMX512 control
A DMX512 data link is required in order to control the device via DMX. The device provides 3-pin XLR
connectors for DMX connection.
1 Connect the output of your DMX controller to the DMX input DMX IN of the device with a DMX cable.
2 Connect the DMX output DMX OUT of the device to the DMX input of the next unit in the chain. Always
connect one output to the input of the next unit until all units are connected.
3 At the last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Plug the terminator with a 120 Ω resistor between
Signal (–) and Signal (+) in the DMX output of the last unit.
4 If the cable length exceeds 300 m or the number of DMX devices is greater than 32, it is recommended
to insert a DMX level amplifier to ensure proper data transmission.
XLR connection:
Connection to the mains
The device uses an auto-range power supply that accepts input voltages between 100 und 240 volts.
1 Connect the device via the enclosed mains cable to a grounded mains socket. Thus the unit is switched
on.
2 To switch off the unit, disconnect the power plug.
3 Do not connect the unit to the mains voltage via a dimmer. For a more convenient operation, use a mains
outlet which is switchable.
