2. Safety instructions
Please observe the following safety instructions:
WARNING!
Disconnect the devices (lights / mains adapter) from the
mains if not in use or before cleaning.
Keep the products away from children.
Do not put the devices into operation, if housing, plugs or
cables are damaged.
Do not disassemble or modify the devices. Repairs must
only be carried out by qualified persons.
CAUTION!
Only use the lighting unit with parts designed for it.
Use the devices only in dry rooms.
Keep the devices away from water and other liquids and
from combustible materials.
Make sure that the devices are not covered during opera-
tion.
Do not use or store the devices at places with extremely
high air humidity or at extremely hot places. Keep the de-
vices away from direct solar radiation.
Let the devices cool down before boxing them.
3. Check devices and scope of supply
When unpacking the devices for the first time, please
check if the scope of supply is complete. It comprises
2 Lights (1) with soft screen (4)
1 Mains adapter (5)
1 Mains lead (6)
2 Connecting cables (13)
1 Light synchro cable (17)
4 Cable clips (14)
With 5547, 5640:
2 Fastening screws (12) for the lights
2 Vertical arms (2)
2 Fastening screws (7) for vertical arms
2 Clamp bases (3)
With 5652:
2 Fastening screws (11) for the lights
2 Vertical arms (8)
2 Fastening screws (9) for vertical arms
2 Clamp bases (10)
Check also, if the devices are damaged by extraneous
causes. If this is the case, do not take the devices into op-
eration.
4. Assembly / Connecting the mains adapter
Attach the clamp bases (3) or (10) and the vertical arms (2)
or (8) as shown in fig. C (5547, 5640) or D (5652). Sub -
sequently attach the lights (1) to the vertical arms (fig. E).
Make sure that the mains voltage corresponds to the oper-
ating voltage given on the type plate of the mains adapter (5).
Connect the mains adapter (5) with both lights (1) by means
of the connecting cables (13) (see connecting scheme fig. N).
Centre the soft screens (4) in longitudinal direction.
Clip the connecting cables (13) on to the vertical arms (2) /
(8) by means of the cable clips (14) (fig. F).
Now connect the mains adapter (5) to the mains using the
mains lead (6).
5. Initial operation
Switch on the lighting unit with the ON/OFF switch (23) on
the mains adapter (5). The name of the lighting unit and the
program version will appear on the displays (16) of the
lights for 3 seconds. Subsequently, a lamp symbol indi-
cates that the individual lights can now be switched on.
Switch on the lights (1) by briefly pressing the respective
control dial (15) (fig. G). The lights start with the brightness
that was set before the last switch-off.
Now you can adjust the brightness of each light individually
with the correspondent control dial (15). The display (16)
shows the brightness setting in 1 %-steps from 10 % up
to 100 %.
If you want to adjust the brightness of both lights syn-
chronously, connect the lights using the enclosed light
synchro cable (17). To do this, insert the plugs (19) into one
of the ports (20) each (fig. H); they click into place audibly
and a double lamp symbol appears on the displays (16).
Now any of the control dials (15) can be used to adjust the
brightness of both lights together.
If you want to control the brightness of the lights separately
again, disconnect the lights by unplugging one or both
plugs (19) from the port(s) (20). Push the latch release (18)
towards the plug (19) to unlock the plug. Do not apply force
when releasing the plug to prevent damage of the port or
plug. Now the displays (16) show the simple lamp symbol
again.
When not in use, switch off the lighting unit with the
ON/OFF switch (23) on the mains adapter (5).
6. Adjustments
The lighting unit can be adjusted in a variety of ways (see
fig. I – L). To adjust it, release the respective fastening
screw (22), (12)/(11) or (7)/(9) and tighten it again.
Note: Fig. I – L (as well as F, H) refer to 5547/5640. They
also apply accordingly for 5652.
7. Removing / Inserting soft screen
The lights are equipped with a soft screen (4) for particular
soft light. If this is not required and if there is a need for
more light, the lights can also be operated without the soft
screens. To remove the soft screen camber it at the narrow
side a bit outwards and remove it – starting from the cam-
bered narrow side – from the guide slot of a long side
(fig. M).
To reinsert a soft screen, place it in the guide slot of one
long side, then camber it on one narrow side a bit outwards
and push it – starting from the cambered narrow side – into
the guide slot of the opposite long side. It is irrelevant which
side of the soft screen faces outwards.
A polarizing foil (optional accessory) can also inserted or
removed in the same way. The polarizing foil can be used
with or without the soft screen. When used with the soft
screen the polarizing foil must be placed at the outside.
8. Changing the fuse
Pull out the mains plug before changing the fuse (25). The
fuse can be replaced after the fuse holder (24) has been
pulled out (fig. O). The mains adapter (5) must only be run
with the specified fuse (see 10. Specifications).
