Safety Information
7
• If the fixture is installed in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, install as described in
this manual a secondary attachment such as a safety cable that is approved by an official body such as
TÜV as a safety attachment for the weight that it secures. The safety cable must comply with
EN/IEC 60598-2-17:2018 Section 17.7.4 or BGV C1 / DGUV 17, and must be capable of bearing a static
suspended load at least six times (or more if required by locally applicable regulations) the weight that it
secures.
• Eliminate as much slack as possible in the safety cable (by looping it more than once around the rigging
truss, for example). Make sure that, if the primary attachment fails, the fixture cannot fall more than 20 cm
(8 inches) maximum before the safety cable catches it.
• If the safety cable attachment point becomes deformed, do not suspend the fixture. Have the fixture
repaired by an authorized Martin service partner.
• Check that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened.
• Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing, servicing or
moving the fixture.
• Allow enough clearance around the head to ensure that it cannot collide with a person or object such as
another fixture when it moves.
