• The device has to be installed out of the reach of people.
• If the device shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be
used. The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
• Caution: Devices in hanging installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down. If you have
doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the device.
• When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inflammable material (decoration articles, etc.)
within a distance of min. 0.5 m.
• Mount the device to your trussing system using an appropriate clamp. For overhead use, always install
an appropriate safety bond.
• You must only use safety bonds complying with DIN 56927, quick links complying with DIN 56927,
shackles complying with DIN EN 1677-1 and BGV C1 carbines. The safety bonds, quick links, shackles
and the carbines must be sufficiently dimensioned and used correctly in accordance with the latest
industrial safety regulations (e. g. BGV C1, BGI 810-3).
• For overhead rigging in public or industrial areas, a series of safety instructions have to be followed that
this manual can only give in part. The operator must therefore inform himself on the current safety
instructions and consider them.
• The manufacturer cannot be made liable for damages caused by incorrect installations or insufficient
safety precautions.
• Pull the safety bond through the attachment eyelet and over the trussing system or a safe fixation spot.
Insert the end in the quick link and tighten the safety screw.
• The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20 cm.
• A safety bond which already held the strain of a crash or which is defective must not be used again.
• Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the fixation screws.
5.1 DMX control
• The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise the devices will not work at all, or will
not work properly.
• The starting address depends upon which controller is being used.
• Only use a DMX cable and 3-pin XLR plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the
device or one device with another.

2 Signal (-) 2 Signal (-)
3 Signal (+) 3 Signal (+)
• If you are using controllers with this XRL connection type, you can connect the DMX output of the
controller directly to the DMX input of the first device 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 first device in the DMX chain with the DMX input of the next device.
Always connect one output with the input of the next device until all devices are connected.
• Caution: At the last device, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Plug the terminator with a 120 resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) in the DMX output of the last device.
Connection between devices
• On the rear panel, there is an IEC socket (Power Out). Connect the output with the input of the next
device until all devices are connected.
• Attention: It is recommended to renew the connection with the power mains after every 8 devices.
Connection with the mains
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable.
The occupation of the connection cables is as follows:
