without deformation of that structure.
• The installation must always be secured by a secondary safety attachment e.g. a safety cable (VDLSC7

technician check the installation once a year and once before you bring the device into service.
Procedure
•
Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
• Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating work load limits, determining the
installation material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not
attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may result
in injuries.
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 50cm radius of the device.
• A qualified electrician should carry out the electric connection.
• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. In general, lighting effects should not be
connected to dimming packs.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
• You will find a selector on the back panel. Three operation modes are available: music-controlled,
continuous rotation or static operation. When you select music-controlled operation, you can adjust the
sound sensitivity of the built-in microphone with the knob on the rear panel. Adjust the sensitivity until
the movement of the beams is satisfactory.
