Physical Installation
WARNING! Attach an approved safety-cable to
secure the product against clamp or bracket failure.
Lead the safety-cable through the stirrup (or the eye-
let when using a P.O. version) and keep it as short as
possible. The safety-cable needs to be approved at
least 10 times the weight of the product including all
accessories mounted at the product. Secure all
accessories mounted at the product with additional
safety-cables to protect them from fall down and
cause injuries and damages.
WARNING! The rigging structure needs to be
approved for at least 10 times the weight of all
devices, equipment and cables installed on it.
IMPORTANT! Do not illuminate the display and the
fresnel-lens by high power light beams from a short
distance. The display and the light engine are dam-
aged by high brightness and heat radiation within
very short time.
To adjust the stirrup
You need
• a Torx20 screw driver,
• a 10 mm allen key and
• a torque wrench (37 ft-lbs)
to adjust the stirrup.
On delivery the stirrup is in the basic position (tilted back).
Loosen the Torx20 screws on both sides of the stirrup bracket
slightly and pull the stirrup bracket towards the rear of the pro-
duct. Loosen the lever of the tilt-lock and tilt the stirrup
upwards.
Slide the stirrup to the point of balance. The point of balance is
dependent on the accessories mounted at the product. Tighten
both Torx20 screws of the stirrup brackets. Do not overtighten
the screws. Tilt the stirrup to the desired position and tighten
the tilt-lock by using the lever. For better leverage, press the
knob on the tilt-lock-lever and turn the lever to the desired po-
sition.
To mount the spigot
Place the spigot and the distance plate on the 13 mm hole in
the middle of the stirrup. Insert the allen screw with washer and
spring washer and tighten it with a torque wrench to 37 ft-lbs
torque.
