Always Observe the minimum distances stated
on the type plate to allow light and heat radiation
to disperse safely. This will prevent danger to

Lampheads must be placed at sufficient distance
from flammable materials or objects. The
minimum distance to lit objects written on the
lamphead describes a max. temp. of 90 Degrees
Celsius in spot-focus on the lit object.

VENTILATION SLOTS ON THE
LAMPHEAD!!!

stated on the type plate as this might
cause the lamphead to overheat.
Do not operate the lamphead with
closed barndoors or an excessive
number of scrims, as this might also
cause overheating
Do no open the housing of the
Orbiter. For safe operation, the housing
must be completely closed at all times.
Take appropriate precautions when
lighting glass, windows and
decorative surfaces. These materials
can burst when they become hot.
A faultless function of the power supply
and protection system must be ensured
