4.2 Changing the power supply setting
The transformer must be connected correctly for the local AC voltage and frequency.
The wrong setting can cause poor performance or demage of the xture.The factory settings are printed on
the rear panel of the xture.
If you want to change the power supply setting,follow the instructions:
1.Disconnect the xture from AC power.
2.Remove the top cover by loosening the 3 quarter-turn fasteners on the top cover.
3.Move the wire on the transformer primary connection block to the position according to the desired volt-
age.
5.Put the top cover back before applying AC power.
4.3 Rigging the xture
The installation of the projector has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for
1 hour without any harming deformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net.
This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if
the main attachment fails.
When rigging, derigging or servicing the xture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges,
8
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 expert
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 an
expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled
person once a year.
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, installa-
tion material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the projector. If you lack
these qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger.
Improper installation can result in bodily injury and.or damage to property.
The projector has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the projector shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used.
The projector must never be xed swinging freely in the room.
Caution: Projectors may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety
of a possible installation, do not install the projector!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the projector’s
weight.
Danger of re !
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly-inammable
material (decoration articles, etc.) within a distance of min. 0.4 m.
Mount the projector with the mounting-bracket to your trussing system using an appropriate clamp. The hole
in the mounting bracket has a diameter of 10 mm.
For overhead use, always install a safety-rope that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the xture. You
must use safety-ropes with screw-on carabines. Pull the safety-rope through the mounting bracket and over
the trussing system etc. Insert the end in the carabine and tighten the xation screws.
Adjust the desired inclination-angle via the mounting bracket and x the bracket adjusting screws tightly.
Connect the xture to the mains with the power plug.
4.4 Connection to the mains
Verify the power supply settings before applying power!
Connect the xture to the mains with the enclosed power plug.If you need to install other power plug on the
power cable,follow the identication table below.
The earth has to be connected!
The occupation of the connection cables is as follows:
Cable (EU) Cable (US) Pin International

4.5 DMX-512 connection and Master/Slave connection
The xture is equipped with 3-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable
designed for RS-485 and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the xture or
one xture with another.
Occupation of the XLR-connection:
DMX - output DMX-input
XLR mounting-socket: XLR mounting-plug:
If you are using standard 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-outputs, 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.
Caution: At the last xture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ohm resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last xture.
Building a master/slave-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the master xture in the data-chain with the DMX-input of the rst slave. Always
connect output with the input of the next slave until all slaves are connected.
Caution:It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) into the input of the master xture
and into the output of the last slave xture in the link in order to ensure proper transmission on the data link.
