General Notes

• Observe all common and local safety regulations.
• Please keep these instructions for possible subsequent
owners.
• Please dispose the packing material at your local recycling center
for environmental protection.
• Defective products shall be disposed appropriately. For further in-
formation please ask your ARRI dealer or your local
authorities.
• Use only original ARRI spare parts and accessories.
To Secure the Device and its Accessories
• When mounted in a hanging position or above persons, use a suit-
able safety cable to prevent the luminaire and the
attached accessories against falling when the primary mounting
method fails.
• The safety cable and its connecting elements must be rated at a
minimum load of 10 times the weight of the device and all attached
accessories.
• Lead the safety cable through the stirrup (2) and the structure the
device is mounted to.
• The safety cable must be kept short.
• The accessories must be inserted correctly in the accessory hold-
ers. The top latch (4) must be closed and the safety catch (5) must
be engaged.
• Tripods must be set up in a stable way and must be rated to carry
the required load. Please observe the weight of the
accessories and the cables. Please refer also to the leaflet
„Operating your ARRI Lampheads Safely" L5.40731.E.
• The L-Series must be mounted on its yoke (2) in perpendicular
standing position or hanging position. Never apply lateral load to
the stirrup as components may break.

Basic Functions

MOUNTING
Always insert the 28 mm spigot (1) into the bushing of a suitable stand
or a suitable clamping system and fix and secure the spigot afterwards.
PAN AND TILT
Swivel the luminaire after loosening the screw of the stand or the clamp-
ing system. The tilt angle can be adjusted by releasing the tilt lock (3).
After the adjustment of the pan angle and the tilt angle, the screws re-
spectively clamp must be fastened again.
TO ADJUST THE BEAM ANGLE
The beam angle can be continuously adjusted by turning the
focus knob (6). In doing so, the lens tube will move into and out of the
housing. This mechanism has two protective functions:
• A predetermined breaking point protects the luminaire from dam-
age if the focus knob is being turned with overly strong force.
Therefore only turn the focus knob by hand and stop when the lens
tube has reached full extension or retraction!
• A self-inhibiting gear avoids the inadvertent movement of the lens
tube when the luminaire is in a tilted position.
