1. Introduction & Features
Thank you for buying this mirror ball! Read the manual thoroughly before bringing this device into service.
If the device was damaged in transit, don't install or use it and contact your dealer.
2. Safety Instructions and General Guidelines
• Damage caused by disregard of certain guidelines in this manual is not covered by the warranty and the dealer
will not accept responsibility for any ensuing defects or problems.
• A qualified technician should install and service this device.
• Keep the device away from children and unauthorised users.
• This device is designed for professional use on stage, in discos, theatres, etc.
• Select a location where the device is protected against extreme heat, dust and moisture.
• 30 cm mirror balls should be fixed with an appropriate safety cable (VDLSC7 or VDLSC8). All other models
should be used with a safety net.
• 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 and are not covered by the warranty.
• Only use the device for its intended purpose. All other uses may lead to a crash, injuring people badly. Using the
device in an unauthorised way will void the warranty.
3. Installation
• Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable norms.
• The construction to which the device is attached should be able to support 10 times the weight of the device for
one hour without deformation. The installation area should be able to hold a minimum point load of 30kg.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable or safety net.
• Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
• Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, determining the installation
material to be used... Do not attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper
installation may result in injuries. 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.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
• The mirror ball (3) has to be properly attached to the mirror ball motor (1). We
recommend a chain (2) for mirror balls (VDLCH, 30cm).
• For 30cm (12") mirror balls, use mains powered mirror ball motor (1) VDLMM3 or an
equivalent in combination with a safety cable (5). Make sure the safety cable is securely
attached to the safety rings (4 & 6) and is slightly longer than the mirror ball chain (2).
• For smaller mirror balls, use battery powered mirror ball motor VDLMM1 or mains
powered VDLMM3 in combination with a safety net.
• The safety cable or net should be installed in such a way that no part of the installation
can fall down if the main attachment fails and that it can hold at least 12 times the weight
of the installation for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
• Make sure the mirror ball is never slowed down or stopped by decoration material etc.
Make sure no side forces can impact on the installation.
