4. Installation
Please ensure that the
Elektralite CW Dazer
is hung using the appropriate "C" clamp or half cheeseboro. A safety chain or
cable should also be used as a secondary point of holding the fixture in case the clamp comes loose.
Never hang the
fixture without a safety chain or cable
. Make sure the Gel frame (Gel holder) is clipped into position correctly and cannot
come loose.
If you are not qualified or have any doubts about hanging the
Elektralite CW Dazer
then do
NOT
hang it.
Do not clamp the cable to the U bracket or clamp. That is not a secondary safety point.
A secondary safety point is any point that will adequately hold the
Elektralite CW Dazer
if the "C" clamp or half cheesboro
fails. Then the safety cable would be the backup and stop the fixture from falling to the ground. So do
NOT
fix the safety to
the same place that the "C"clamp is attached.
Installation during construction.
Many times fixtures are installed during the construction phase of a building. It is imperative that the fixture is protected
during this phase. A lot of dust is usually created. This dust can adversely affect the fixture. Specifically, of course, in coating
the lenses and therefore reducing the output. However much more seriously, dust, like sheetrock dust, can get inside the fan
bearings especially if the fixture is being operated during construction. Sheetrock dust, mixed with the grease of the fan
motor, will result in the fan’s premature failure and that is not covered under the fixture’s warranty. It is therefore strongly
advised to keep the fixtures covered up during the construction phase and not used.
5.
Grounding.
Always make sure that there is sufficient grounding (earth) for the fixture
. This is not only imperative within the circuit that the
fixture is being connected to, but also make sure there is sufficient grounding into the building. All fixtures regardless of
manufacturer have a surge at initial “turn-on”. Once initial “turn-on” is complete, the surge current (per fixture) will travel
down the ground. While each 20 Amp circuit may have the correct size of ground wire, the ground input to the building
and/or electrical panel may not be sufficient for the job.
Please review this with the electrical contractor
. The
Elektralite CW
Dazer
has a surge current over and above its operating current of approximately 2 Amp at 120 volts. If an installation has
100 Dazers that means 200 Amps needs to be dissipated through the GROUND WIRING. If there is a lack of a sufficiently
big enough ground cable into the building or on the individual circuits it can cause severe damage to the fixture and this is
not
covered under the warranty.
One further check : the ground to neutral voltage for each circuit. In a lot of buildings, voltages across these can damage
fixtures or cause operational problems both for the fixture and DMX.
Please review these two important points with a qualified electrical contractor. If in any doubt, have an independent qualified
third party electrical contractor check the installation,
well before
commencing installation.
Circuit Limitation :-
There should be no more than 5
CW Dazers
on a 20 amp 120 volt circuit, having no other load on it. That means to say a,
maximum of 5
CW Dazers
are on a 20 amp 120 volt circuit with nothing else plugged into that circuit.
