MAC Ultra Performance Safety and Installation Manual
Physical installation
Installation safety
The fixture weighs 44 kg (97.1 lbs.), not including installation hardware.
See “Dimensions” on page 2 for details of the fixture’s physical dimensions.
Warning! The MAC Ultra Performance has a powerful pan motor. The torque reaction when the head
is panned suddenly can cause the base to move if the fixture is standing unsecured on a surface.
Do not apply power to the MAC Ultra Performance unless the base is securely fastened to a stable
surface or structure.
Warning! Use two evenly spaced rigging clamps to rig the fixture. Do not hang the fixture from only
one clamp. Lock omega brackets to the base of the fixture with both 1/4-turn fasteners. Fasteners
are locked only when turned a full 90° clockwise.
Warning! When suspending the fixture above ground level, secure it against failure of primary
attachments by attaching a safety cable that is approved as a safety attachment for the weight of the
fixture to the attachment point in the base. Do not use the carrying handles for secondary
attachment.
Warning! When clamping the fixture to a truss or other structure at any other angle than with the
yoke hanging vertically downwards, use two clamps of half-coupler type. Do not use any type of
clamp that does not completely encircle the structure when fastened.
Warning! To avoid head collisions when installing MAC Ultra Performance fixtures beside each
other, allow a minimum center-to-center distance between fixtures of 830 mm (32.7 in.). The fixture
also contains a programmable pan/tilt limitation system that allows you to limit head movement
where necessary in order to prevent head collisions. See the MAC Ultra Performance User Guide for
details.
Warning! You can fasten the fixture to a surface with ratchet straps passed through the carrying
handles in the base so that the fixture cannot fall over, but do not over-tighten the ratchet straps or
you may damage the carrying handles and leave the fixture in an unsafe condition.
Warning! See Figure 2. The MAC Ultra Performance’s lens can focus sunlight and strong artificial
light, creating a potential fire hazard and causing damage that is not covered by the product
warranty. Position or shade the head so that the front lens will not be exposed to sunlight or another
strong light source from any angle – even for a few seconds.
Important! Powerful light can damage the control panel display. Do not point the output from other
lighting fixtures at the MAC Ultra Performance.
Installation options
The MAC Ultra Performance can be fastened to a surface such as a stage or clamped to a truss in any
orientation using two omega brackets (see Figure 4) and rigging clamps. Clamps must be half-coupler type
(see Figure 4) or equivalent type that fully encircles the truss unless the fixture is installed with the yoke
hanging vertically downwards, in which case other clamp types that are approved for the supported weight
may be used.
