• Select a location where the device is protected against extreme heat (see "7. Technical Specifications"), dust and
moisture. Ensure a minimum distance of 0.5m between the device and any nearby surface or passer-by.
• Use an appropriate safety cable to fix the device (e.g. VDLSC7 or VDLSC8) by the safety ring at the back.
• 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.
• Only use the device for its intended purpose. Other uses may lead to short circuits, burns, electroshocks etc.
Using the device in an unauthorised way will void the warranty.
• Empty the tank prior to transporting the device.
4. Installation
a) Smoke Liquid
• Please use non-inflammable water-based smoke fluid without oil or grease, such as VDLSL1 (1 litre), VDLSL5 (5
litres), VDLSL5H (5 litres high density smoke liquid) or VDLSLHT5 (5l professional high density smoke liquid).
• Non-recommended smoke liquid may damage the machine and void the warranty.
1. Unplug the device from the mains.
2. Unscrew the cap from the tank (on top of the device).
3. Carefully pour smoke liquid into the tank; never fill over the "Maximum" mark at the back.
4. Reposition the cap on the tank and close it firmly.
Remark: Do not operate the device when the tank is open.
b) Fuse
• Only fit or replace a fuse when the device is unplugged from the mains.
• Replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the same type and rating (see "7. Technical Specifications"):
1. Unplug the device from the mains.
2. Unscrew the fuse holder at the back with an appropriate screwdriver.
3. Remove the old fuse and install a new one.
4. Replace the fuse holder and fasten it with the screwdriver.
c) Mounting the Device
• 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 must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.
• 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.
• Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
• Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating work load limits, determining the installation
material to be used... Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not attempt to install the
device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may result in injuries.
• Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 50cm radius of the device.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. Don't connect it to a dimming pack.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
