6. Safety instructions

Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety

information. If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on

proper handling in this manual, we assume no liability for any resulting

personal injury or damage to property. Such cases will invalidate the

warranty/guarantee.

• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.

• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. These may

become dangerous playing material for children.

• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts,

highhumidity,moisture,ammablegases,vapoursandsolvents.

• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.

• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of

operation and protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no

longer be guaranteed if the product:

- is visibly damaged,

- is no longer working properly,

- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or

- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.

• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low

height can damage the product.

• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices

which are connected to the product.

• The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily

accessible.

• As power supply, only use the supplied mains adapter.

23

• Only connect the power adapter to a normal mains socket connected to

the public supply. Before plugging in the power adapter, check whether

the voltage stated on the power adapter complies with the voltage of your

electricity supplier.

• Never connect or disconnect power adapters if your hands are wet.

• Never unplug the power adapter from the mains socket by pulling on the

cable; always use the grips on the plug.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the cable is not pinched,

kinked or damaged by sharp edges.

• Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in

them. This poses a risk of injury.

• For safety reasons, disconnect the power adapter from the mains socket

during storms.

• If the power adapter is visibly damaged, do not touch it. Risk of fatal injury

duetoelectricshock!Firstturnothepowersupplytothepoweroutlet

thatthepoweradapterisconnectedto(ipothefuseandthenturnothe

residual current operated circuit breaker to disconnect the power outlet at

all phases). Now unplug the device from the power outlet. Dispose of the

power adapter in an environmentally friendly fashion, discontinue use of it

immediately. Replace it with an identical power adapter.

• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold

room into a warm one. The condensation generated could destroy the

product. The plug-in power supply unit also involves danger to life by electric

shock! Allow the device to reach room temperature before connecting and

using it. This may take several hours.

8. Operation

a) Positioning / mounting

• Ensuresucientventilation.

• Do not place the product on soft surfaces (carpets, beds, etc.).

• The air circulation must not be impeded by objects such as newspapers, tablecloths,

curtains, etc. Those could prevent heat dissipation from the product and cause

overheating(riskofre).

• Do not drill any holes into the housing and do not screw any bolts onto the housing.

Thatcoulddamagetheproductandaectsafeoperation.

• When installing the product, ensure secure standing and a stable surface.

• If the product falls down there is a risk of injury.

• Wheninstallingtheproduct,makesuretheconnectioncablescannotgetsqueezed

or damaged by sharp edges.

• Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them. This

poses a risk of injury.

• Theremustbenodeviceswithstrongelectricormagneticeldssuchastransformers,

engines,wirelessphones,radioequipmentetc.belocatedinnearbyproximity,as

• Never place the product on valuable or sensitive furniture surfaces without using

sucientprotection.

• Place the product on a level surface.

• If needed, the product can be attached to a rack.

b) Connecting the light eects

The product is only intended for connection to DMX devices with DMX-512

protocol.

The controller supports the operation of a maximum of 32 devices in a DMX

chain or otherwise will be overloaded.

The DMX chain should not exceed a maximum length of 200 m.

The use of XLR microphone cables can interfere with the DMX signal

transmission. If such is the case, use special DMX high frequency cables.

• ConnecttheDMXconnector(11)totheinputoftherstDMXlighteect.

• ConnecttheDMXoutputoftherstDMXlighteecttotheDMXinputofthenext
