3. General Guidelines
• This set includes a mirror ball and pin spot for use at home, on stages, in discotheques, in theatres etc.
• The VDLPROM1 should only be used indoors with an alternating current of 230V AC/50Hz.
• Lighting effects are not designed for permanent operation: regular operation breaks will prolong their lives.
• Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.
• Select a location where the device is protected against extreme heat (see “7. Technical Specifications”), dust and
moisture. Respect a minimum distance of 0.5m between the device’s light output and any illuminated surface.
• Use an appropriate safety cable to fix the device (e.g. VDLSC7 or VDLSC8).
• Familiarise yourself with the functions of the device before actually using it. Do not allow operation by unqualified
people. Any damage that may occur will most probably be due to unprofessional use of the device.
• Use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
• All modifications of the device are forbidden for safety reasons.
• Only use the device for its intended purpose. All other uses may lead to short circuits, burns, electroshocks, lamp
explosion, crash, etc. Using the device in an unauthorised way will void the warranty.
4. Installation
a) Lamps
• Only fit or replace a lamp when the device is unplugged from the mains.
• Only operate the device with a fastened lamp.
• Let a lamp cool down before replacing it as the temperature of a lamp can reach 150°C during operation.
• Do not install lamps with a higher wattage. They get hotter than this device was designed for.
• Replace any deformed or damaged lamp with a lamp of the same type (see “7. Technical Specifications”):
1. Unscrew the front ring, holding the lamp into place.
2. Remove the old lamp and unscrew the wires from it.
3. Fasten the wires to the new lamp, put it in the housing and fix it by fastening the fixation ring.
b) Colour Wheel
1. Carefully unpack the colour wheel and remove the protective film.
2. Fix the colour wheel to the axe of the motor by means of the screw provided.
c) The Pin Spot
• Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable norms.
• The construction to which the pin spot is attached should be able to support 10 times the weight of the device for
one hour without deformation.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.
• Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a qualified technician
check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.
• 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.
• Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 50cm radius of the device.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. Don’t connect it to a dimming pack.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
