ENGLISH

OVERHEAD RIGGING

 Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper
installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires
extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials
should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.
 Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted
persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
 Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable
materials and/or liquids. The fixture must be fixed at least 50cm from
surrounding walls.
 The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas
where persons may walk by or be seated.
 Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum
point load of 10times the device's weight.
 Always use a certified safety cable (A) that can hold 12 times the weight
of the device when installing the unit. This secondary safety attachment
should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop more
than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
 The device should be well fixed using the included omega bracket (B)
and a certified clamp (C). The clamp is not included but is available from
www.Briteq-lighting.com (order code: 2671). A free-swinging mounting is
dangerous and may not be considered!
 Don't cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
 The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-
technical installations are approved by an expert before using them for
the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled person to be sure that safety is
still optimal.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION + ADDRESSING
Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only,
according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
Every time you turn the unit on, it will show a welcome message on the display and move all the motors to
their 'home' position and you may hear some noises for about 20 seconds. After that the unit will be ready to
receive DMX signal or run the built-in programs.
Electrical installation for several units on a DMX line:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment.
You need to "daisy chain" your DMX controller and all the connected light effects with a
good quality XLR M/F balanced cable. To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due
to interferences, you must use a 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-
cables to split the DMX-line, instead use a good quality DMX splitter!
It's very important that the units have the following settings:
 Operation Mode: set to "DMX Operation" ("D" + "S" in the upper right corner of the display)
 DMX address: set to the desired value.
