Safety

DANGER!

Risk of injury and choking hazard for children!

Children can suocate on packaging material and small parts. Children can injure themselves when handling the device. Never

allow children to play with the packaging material and the device. Always store packaging material out of the reach of babies and

small children. Always dispose of packaging material properly when it is not in use. Never allow children to use the device without

supervision. Keep small parts away from children and make sure that the device does not shed any small parts (such knobs) that

children could play with.

DANGER!

Danger to life due to electric current!

Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never remove any covers. There are no user-serviceable

parts inside. Do not use the device when covers, safety equipment or optical components are missing or damaged.

DANGER!

Danger to life due to electric current!

A short circuit could lead to a re hazard and risk of death. Always use proper ready-made insulated triple-core mains cable with a

safety plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the plug. In case of isolation damage, disconnect immediately the power supply

and arrange repair. If in doubt, seek advice from a qualied electrician.

WARNING!

Risk of eye damage caused by high light intensity!

The device generates highly intense light radiation. Looking directly into the light source can damage the eyes. Never look

directly into the light source.

WARNING!

Risk of injury caused by falling due to unsuitable trusses and other xtures!

If trusses or other xtures are not designed for the weight of the intended number of moving heads, falling can cause severe

injury and considerable damage. Before mounting, ensure that the load capacity of trusses and other xtures is sucient for the

intended number of devices. Take into account any additional load that aects the load bearing parts due to the movement of

the head. When installing and operating, make sure to follow the standards and regulations that apply in your country. Always

secure devices with a secondary safety attachment, such as a safety cable or a safety chain.

CAUTION!

Risk of injury due to unexpected movements of the device!

The device head may perform fast movements and generate very bright light. This is the case immediately after the device is

switched on, in automatic or remote operation, and when a connected DMX controller is switched o. Persons who are in the

immediate vicinity of the device may be injured or frightened by this. Make sure that there are no obstacles within the movement

range of the mirror, and that no persons are in the immediate vicinity of the head before switching it on and during its operation.

Switch o the device before any work is performed in the movement range or immediate vicinity of the device, or if unauthorised

persons are in that area.

NOTICE!

Risk of re due to covered vents and neighbouring heat sources!

If the vents of the device are covered or the device is operated in the immediate vicinity of other heat sources, the device can

overheat and burst into ames. Never cover the device or the vents. Do not install the device in the immediate vicinity of other

heat sources. Never operate the device in the immediate vicinity of naked ames.

NOTICE!

Damage to the device if operated in unsuitable ambient conditions!

The device can be damaged if it is operated in unsuitable ambient conditions. Only operate the device indoors within the

ambient conditions specied in the “Technical specications” chapter of this user manual. Avoid operating it in environments

with direct sunlight, heavy dirt and strong vibrations. Avoid operating it in environments with strong temperature uctuations. If

temperature uctuations cannot be avoided (for example after transport in low outside temperatures), do not switch on the

device immediately. Never subject the device to liquids or moisture. Never move the device to another location while it is in oper‐

ation. In environments with increased dirt levels (for example due to dust, smoke, nicotine or mist): Have the device cleaned by

qualied specialists at regular intervals to prevent damage due to overheating and other malfunctions.

NOTICE!

Damage to the device due to high voltages!

The device can be damaged if it is operated with the incorrect voltage or if high voltage peaks occur. In the worst case, excess

voltages can also cause a risk of injury and res. Make sure that the voltage specication on the device matches the local power

grid before plugging in the device. Only operate the device from professionally installed mains sockets that are protected by a

residual current circuit breaker (FI). As a precaution, disconnect the device from the power grid when storms are approaching or it

the device will not be used for a longer period.

NOTICE!

Risk of overheating and re due to inadequate distance and bad ventilation!

If the distance between the light source and the illuminated surface is too short or the device is badly ventilated, the device can

overheat and cause res. Make sure that illuminated surfaces are more than 2 m away. Do not operate the device in ambient

temperatures above 40 °C. Always ensure sucient ventilation at the operating location.

NOTICE!

Possible staining due to plasticiser in rubber feet!

The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may react with the coating of the oor and cause permanent dark

stains after some time. If necessary, use a suitable mat or felt slide to prevent direct contact between the device’s rubber feet and

the oor.

NOTICE!

Risk of re due to installation of a wrong fuse!

Using fuses of a dierent type than compatible with the device may cause a re and seriously damage the device. Only use fuses

of the same type. Observe the labelling on the device casing and the information in the "Technical data” chapter.

NOTICE!

Risk of re by exceeding the maximum current

The device can supply power to other devices of identical design and connected in series. If too many devices are connected, the

power consumption can exceed the maximum permitted power consumption, which can cause the device to overheat and burst

into ames. Only connect devices of identical design to the device. When deciding how many devices you can connect in series,

make sure that the maximum permitted power consumption as stated on the device is not exceeded. Also refer to the specica‐

tions in the technical specications for the device. Only use power cords with a cable cross-section designed for the required

current intensity when connecting the devices in series.
