Page 8: Rigging The Fixture
4.3 Rigging the fixture The installation of the projector has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation. The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails. -

Page 11: Addressing
6. Addressing The control board on the top side of the ULTRA SCAN allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is defined as the first channel from which the ULTRA SCAN will respond to the controller. If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, the ULTRA SCAN will use the channel 5 to 10 for control. Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each ULTRA SCAN correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link. -

Page 14: Appendix
DANGER TO LIFE! Disconnect from mains before starting maintenance operation! It is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and that dust, dirt and smoke-fluid residues must not build up on or within the fixture. Otherwise, the fixture‘s light-output will be significantly reduced. Regular cleaning will not only ensure the maximum light-output, but will also allow the fixture to function reliably throughout its life.
