● The lamp contains a tiny amount of mercury. If a lamp bulb breaks or the lamp loses
pressure for any other reason in a confined area, ventilate the area and avoid
inhaling gas from the lamp. Put on protective gloves before handling the remains of
a broken lamp. Pack the remains safely and send to a specialist waste facility for
disposal.
● Send used lamps to a specialist waste facility for appropriate disposal. Do not
dispose of a used lamp with household or office waste.

Installation safety and protection from personal injury

● The fixture is heavy and requires two persons to lift and carry it safely. Do not try to lift
or carry the fixture alone. Use the two handles on the sides of the yoke to carry the
fixture.
● The handles on the yoke are for use by persons carrying the fixture only. Do not use
these handles for hoisting, primary attachment or secondary attachment.
● Installation must be performed by qualified personnel only and carried out in
accordance with applicable regulations such as DIN VDE 0711-217.
● The fixture is not portable when installed.
● Ensure that the supporting structure and installation hardware used can hold at least
ten times the weight of the load that they support.
● Fasten the fixture to a structure or surface only as directed in this manual and only
with hardware that is specifically designed, approved and rated for its purpose. Do
not use a safety cable as the primary means of support.
● Check that installation hardware is in perfect condition. Fasteners must be steel
grade 8.8 strength or better. Nuts must be self-locking type and in good condition.
Rigging clamps must be half-coupler type that completely encircle the rigging truss
chord.
● Allow a minimum center-to-center distance of 730 mm / 28.8 in. between fixtures
when installed.
● If the fixture is installed in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls,
install as directed in this manual a safety cable or similar secondary attachment that
will hold the fixture if a primary attachment fails. The secondary attachment must be
approved by an official body such as TÜV as a safety attachment for the weight that
it secures, it must comply with EN 60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6, and it must be able to
support a static suspended load that is ten times the weight that it secures.
● If the fixture is installed in a location where it may be exposed to forces such as wind
pressure, vibration or movement, make sure that the installation can withstand these
forces. Monitor weather forecasts constantly. Take down the installation immediately
if there is any risk of weather conditions that could destabilize the installation.
● Check that all covers and items of rigging hardware are secure before using the
fixture. Do not operate the fixture with missing or damaged covers, shields or any
optical component.
