OVERHEAD RIGGING
•
Important:
The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper
installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead 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.
ELECTRICAL INSTAL ADDRESSING
Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only,
according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
Master / Slave mode:
Connect the projectors together as shown on the drawing. Please refer to the paragraph
“SETUP MENU” to
setup the master. All slaves must be set to SLAVE-mode. You can put as many slaves as you like on
condition that the overall power consumption on the power line stays under 10A (2300W).
IMPORTANT: make sure that no DMX-controller is connected, this will result in unexpected behavior!
Electrical installation for two or more units in DMX-mode:
•
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to
“daisy chain” your DMX controller and all the connected units.
•
Use the supplied DMX input conversion cable (IP-cabling to XLR-male) to connect the first unit in the line
to the controller.
•
Pin layout XLR-3pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+)
•
To prevent strange behavior of the projectors, due to interferences, you must use a
90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this
simply won’t work!
