These units of passive RGB LED panels have been designed to work in dry indoor
environments at environmental temperatures up to 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
Do not:
•
Operate the units of passive RGB LED panels in environments with more than 105°F
environmental temperature or more than 80% humidity.
•
Operate the units of passive RGB LED panels in any closed environment,
unless forced air convection is provided.
•
Operate less than 24” distance from any flammable surface.
Getting started: secure mounting
The units of passive RGB LED panels can be mounted in various ways:
Floor standing operation
•
Turn the bracket to the lower side of the unit and fold out the second bracket.
•
Place the unit in a secure position.
•
Use the provided cable slots in the bracket to route cables.
•

Hanging/Rigging, ceiling-mounted operation
Risk of injury:
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including among others calculating working load limits,
good knowledge of the installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation
material and the unit. If you lack such qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself. Improper
installation can result in body injury. Be sure to complete all rigging and installation procedures before
applying power to the unit.
• Leave the inner and outer bracket folded.
• The unit should be installed out of reach of people and areas where persons may walk or be seated.
• Make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device’s weight.
• In fixed installations, attach the unit with self-locking screws/nuts to the mounting point.
• When mounting the unit to truss be sure to secure an appropriately rated clamp, available from Apollo,
to the hanging yoke through the center hole of the hanging yoke.
• Attach the supplied M6 safety lug to the rear side thread insert rigging point and secure the installation
with an appropriate safety cable fixed to an individual separate mounting point. Be sure to only
use the designated rigging point for the safety cable.
• Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12 times 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 9” if the main attachment fails.
• Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing, or servicing the fixture.
• The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled person to ensure safety.
• Use the provided cable securing slots in the bracket to secure any cables using a cable tie.
• Make sure to comply with cooling requirements of the power supply.
