IP20
Risk Group 2
According to
EN 62471
• Installation
Make sure all parts for fixing the projector are in a good state of repair.
Make sure the point of anchorage is stable before positioning the projector.
The safety chain must be properly hooked onto the fitting and secured to the framework, so that, if the primary
support system fails, the fitting falls as little as possible.
If the safety chain gets used, it needs to be replaced with a genuine spare.
• Minimum distance of illuminated objects
The projector needs to be positioned so that the objects hit by the beam of light are at least 5 metres (16'5'') from
the lens of the projector.
• Minimum distance from flammable materials
The projector must be positioned so that any flammable materials are at least 0.20 metres (8") from every point on
the surface of the fitting.
• Maximum ambient temperature
Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40° C (104° F).
• IP20 protection rating
The fitting is protected against penetration by solid bodies of over 12mm (0.47”) in diameter (first digit 2), but not
against dripping water, rain, splashes or jets of water (second digit 0).
• Protection against electrical shock
Connection must be made to a power supply system fitted with efficient earthing (Class I appliance according to
standard EN 60598-1).
It is, moreover, recommended to protect the supply lines of the projectors from indirect contact and/or shorting to
earth by using appropriately sized residual current devices.
• Connection to mains supply
Connection to the electricity mains must be carried out by a qualified electrical installer.
Check that the mains frequency and voltage correspond to those for which the projector is designed as given on the
electrical data label.
This label also gives the input power to which you need to refer to evaluate the maximum number of fittings to
connect to the electricity line, in order to avoid overloading.
IMPORTANT: to prevent EMI disturbances, in some condition it might be necessary to clip around the DMX and the
Ethernet cable, as close as possible to the projector, an appropriate ferrite bead. Shielded cables must always be used.
• Temperature of the external surface
The maximum temperature that can be reached on the external surface of the fitting, in a thermally steady state, is
150°C (302°F).
• Maintenance
Before starting any maintenance work or cleaning the projector, cut off power from the mains supply.
After switching off, do not remove any parts of the fitting for at least 10 minutes. After this time the likelihood of the lamp
exploding is virtually nill. If it is necessary to replace the lamp, wait for another 20 minutes to avoid getting burnt.
The fitting is designed to hold in any splinters produced by a lamp exploding. The lenses must be mounted and, if
visibly damaged, they have to be replaced with genuine spares.
• Lamp
The fitting mounts a high-pressure lamp that needs an external igniter. This igniter is fitted onto the apparatus.
- Carefully read the "operating instructions" provided by the lamp manufacturer.
- Immediately replace the lamp if damaged or deformed by heat.
• Photobiological Safety
CAUTION. Possibly hazardous optical radiation emitted from this product. Do not stare at operating lamp. May be
harmful to the eyes.
