operated with an alternating voltage of 230 V, 50 Hz and was designed for indoor use only.
• This device is designed for professional use, e.g. on stages, in discotheques, theatres etc.
• Lighting effects are not designed for permanent operation. Consistent operation breaks will ensure that
the device will serve you for a long time without defects.
• Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.

heat, moisture or dust. There should not be any cables lying around.
• This device must never be operated or stockpiled in surroundings where splash water, rain, moisture or
fog may harm the device. Moisture or very high humidity can reduce the insulation and lead to fatal
electrical shocks. When using smoke machines, make sure that the device is never exposed to the
direct smoke jet and is installed in a distance of 0.5 meters between smoke machine and device. The
room must only be saturated with an amount of smoke that the visibility will always be more than 10
meters.
• The ambient temperature must always be between -5° C and +45° C. Keep away from direct insulation
(particularly in cars) and heaters.
• The relative humidity must not exceed 50 % with an ambient temperature of 45° C. This device must
only be operated in an altitude between -20 and 2000 m over NN.
• Always disconnect the device during thunderstorms.
• This device is only allowed for an installation via the mounting bracket. In order to safeguard sufficient
ventilation, leave 50 cm of free space around the device.
• The housing must never touch surrounding surfaces or objects.
• Operate the device only after having become familiarized with its functions. Do not permit operation by
persons not qualified for operating the device. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation.
• Never use solvents or aggressive detergents in order to clean the device. Rather use a soft and damp
cloth.
• Use the original packaging if the device is to be transported. Make sure that you pack the device in the
original state.
• Never remove the serial barcode from the device as this would make the guarantee void.

installation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer.
• Make sure the installation 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 device staying in the area below the installation place, on
bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
• The device should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
• IMPORTANT. OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to)
calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all
installation material and the device. If you lack these qualifications, 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.
