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.
Electrical installation for 1 standalone unit:
Just insert the mains cable. The unit starts working immediately in stand-alone mode.
Remark1:
You can connect a CA-8 or RF-8 remote controller to the unit if you want to have more control.
Refer to “how to operate the unit” to learn how to do this.
Remark2:
if there’s no output, please make sure to set the unit in master mode and set the blackout mode
to “NO” and Sound State to “On” (see previous chapter)
Electrical installation for two or more units in master/slave:
In this mode the units will show a synchronized show, working to the rhythm of the beat.
Connect 2 or more units together using good quality balanced microphone cables. The first unit in the
chain must be set as the master, the other units must be set as slaves.
Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
Done!
Remark:
You can connect a CA-8 or RF-8 remote controller to the master unit if you want to have more
control over the master/slave operation
Remark2:
if there’s no output, please make sure to set the first unit in master mode and set the blackout
mode to “NO” and Sound State to “On” (see previous chapter)
Electrical installation for two or more units in DMX-master/slave:
In this mode the units will show a synchronized show, working to the rhythm of the beat but you can still
control some functions on the master by 1 DMX channel.
