Rigging the fxture
The installation of the fixture must be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the
weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate
catch nets. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the
installation can fall if the main attachment fails.
When rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on
bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator must make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved
by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into
operation another time.
The operator must make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved
by an expert after every four years during an acceptance test.
The operator must make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved
by a skilled
person once a year.
The fixture should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to)
calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of
all installation material and the projector. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the
installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result
in bodily injury or damage to property.
The fixture must be installed out of the reach of people.
If the fixture shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems must be
used. The fixture must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
Caution: Fixture may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the
safety of a possible installation, do not install the moving head!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the
fixture’s weight.
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inflammable material
(decoration articles, etc.) in min. 0.5 m.
CAUTION!
Use an appropriate clamp to rig the fixture on the truss. Follow the instructions
mentioned at the bottom of the base. Make sure that the device is fixed
properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the
fixtures is secure.
The fixture can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged on a truss without altering its
operation characteristics.
