Lamp Replacement; Overhead Rigging - JB Systems Wild tech Kaleido Mode D'emploi

ENGLISH
LAMP (RE)PLACEMENT
In case of replacement of the lamp or maintenance, do not open the fixture within
10 minutes until the unit cools down after switching off. Always unplug the unit
before servicing! Always use the same type of spare parts (bulbs, fuses, etc.) When
replacing parts, please only genuine spare parts.
• Unplug the mains cable.
• Wait for about 10 minutes until the unit has been cooled down.
• Unscrew the knob that closes the lamp compartment of the
fixture and open de top of the enclosure.
• On the inside you will see the lamp socket. Tear the lamp
socket gently out of the lamp compartment.
• Unplug the old lamp. Hold the lamp socket while unplugging
the lamp instead of pulling the cable!
• Hold the lamp socket while pressing the new lamp gently in the
socket.
Attention! Check the label on the backside of the device or
see the technical specifications in this manual to know which
lamp should be used. Never install lamps with a higher
wattage! Lamps with higher wattage generate temperatures
the device was not designed for. If the device uses a lamp
transformer, it will burn due to current overload.
• Don't touch the bulb inside the reflector of the lamp with bare
hands! This drastically shortens the lifespan of the lamp. If you
touched the lamp, clean it with a cloth and a little denatured
alcohol. Wipe the lamp off before installing.
• Put the new lamp back inside the unit. Be sure that the wires don't touch the lamp.
• Close the lamp compartment.
• Done!

OVERHEAD RIGGING

Best installation distance:
A projection distance of +/- 5 meters from the wall is perfect. From
this distance the projection will cover an area of 3.7 m x 3.7 m.
• Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified
service personal only. Improper installation can result in
serious injuries and/or damage to property.
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 that can hold 12times 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; 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Once connected to the mains the device starts running.
• STANDALONE USE: When used without the optional CA-8 controller, the Kaleido works in automatic,
sound activated mode. The speed of the movements is controlled by the internal microphone.
• USE OF THE CA-8 CONTROLLER: Connect the optional CA-8 controller to the ¼"jack input on the
back of the Kaleido to obtain more control over the unit:
• STANDBY BUTTON: used to set the connected unit in blackout mode. The led next to the button is
on during blackout.
• MODE BUTTON: used to choose one of the 3 working modes. The led
next to the button indicates the working mode:
o LED off – Sound mode: the speed of the effect wheels
depends on the level of the music.
LED on – Auto mode: the speed of the effect wheels is
o
randomly adjusted.
o LED blinking – Manual mode: you can adapt the speed and
direction of the effect wheels manually.
• FUNCTION BUTTON: used to adapt the speed in the different working
modes:
o Sound mode: the speed of the effect wheels depends on the
level of the music, however you can adapt the overall speed by
pushing the function button.
o Auto mode: the speed of the effect wheels is randomly
adjusted, however you can adapt the overall speed by pushing
the function button.
o Manual mode: you can adapt the speed and direction of the
effect wheels manually by pushing the function button several
times or by pushing continuously.
• SEVERAL UNITS WORKING IN SYNC: If you want several units to work synchronically, you can
connect the Kaleido's together using optional jack/jack cables (stereo 3.5mm). Just use the small
input/output jacks on the back of each unit. If you like you can connect a CA-8 controller to the first unit
in the line.
• Regular breaks during operation are essential to maximize the life of this device as it is not designed for
continual use.
• Do not switch the unit on and off in short time intervals as this reduces the lamp life.
• The units' surface temperature may reach up to 85°C. Don't touch the housing with bare-hands during
its operation.
• Always unplug the unit when it is not used for a longer time or before replacing the bulb or start
servicing.
• In the event of serious operating problems, stop using the fixture and contact your dealer immediately.

During inspection the following points should be checked:
• All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and may not be
corroded.
• Housings, fixations and installations spots (ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any
deformation.
• When an optical lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be replaced.
• The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a
small problem is detected.
