under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.

The operator has to make sure that safety relating and machine technical installations are approved by an ex-

pert before taking into operation for the rst time and after changes before taking into operation another time.

The operator has to make sure that safety relating and machine technical installations are approved by a skilled

person once a year.

Allow the xture to cool for ten minutes before handling.

The projector should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.

IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including calculating working

load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the

projector. If you lack these qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but use a help of professional

companies.

CAUTION: Fixtures may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety

of a possible installation, do not install the xture!

material (decoration articles, etc.) in a distance of min. 0.5 m.

CAUTION!

Use 2 appropriate clamps to rig the xture on the truss.

Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base.

Make sure that the device is xed properly! Ensure that the

structure (truss) to which you are attaching the xtures is secure.

The xture can be placed directly on the stage oor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its

operation characteristics .

For securing the xture to the truss, install a safety wire which can hold at least 10 times the weight of the xture.

Use only the safety wire with a snap hook with screw lock gate.

Truss installation

1.Bolt clamps (4) to the brackets Omega CL (1) with M12 bolts and lock nuts through the hole in the bracket

Omega CL.

2.Fasten the brackets Omega CL on the bottom of the base by means of the quick-lock fasteners (2) and tighten

them fully clockwise.

3. Fasten the safety cable in the attachment point (5) and around the truss (6) in a suitable position so that

the maximum fall of the xture will be 20 cm.

When installing xtures side-by-side,

avoid illuminating one xture with another!

4.6 DMX-512 connection

The xture is equipped with both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output.The sockets are wired

in parallel.

Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3-pin or 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in

order to connect the controller with the xture or one xture with another.

DMX output DMX input

XLR mounting sockets (rear view): XLR mounting plugs (rear view):

If you are using the standard DMX controllers, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly with

the DMX input of the rst xture in the DMX chain. If you wish to connect DMX controllers with other XLR out-

puts, you need to use adapter cables.

Building a serial DMX-chain:

Connect the DMX-output of the rst xture in the DMX chain with the DMX-input of the next xture. Always connect

one output with the input of the next xture until all xtures are connected. Up to 32 xtures can be conected.

Caution: At the last xture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ωresistor

between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX output of the last xture.
