Installing Support Cables
WARNING:
Failure to provide adequate structural strength
for this component can result in serious personal injury or
damage to equipment! It is the installer’s responsibility to
make sure the structure to which this component is attached
can support five times the combined weight of all equipment.
Reinforce the structure as required before installing the
component.
IMPORTANT ! :
If installing with lateral shift accessory
(PACFCL), refer to the PACFCL installation instructions
to install accessory to ceiling and floor.
Solid Concrete Ceiling Structure
WARNING:
Anchors must be installed into structurally
sound solid concrete with a minimum thickness of 4"
(101.6mm) or greater. Installation into hollow concrete block,
mortar, or concrete that exhibits cracking, spalling, or other
defects may result in failure of anchor and serious personal
injury or damage to equipment!
1.
Drill 1/4" diameter x 1-1/2" deep hole at each marked cable
anchor support location (See Figure 1). Ensure hole is at
least 2-1/2" from nearest concrete edge. Remove debris
from hole.
Figure 1
2.
Tap anchor (F) into each hole until the anchor head is
seated in the hole. (See Figure 1)
WARNING:
Failure to properly set anchor may result in
failure of anchor and serious personal injury or damage to
equipment!
3.
Using claw portion of hammer, set each anchor (F) by
pulling it out of hole approximately 1/4" (6.4mm). (See
Figure 1)
4.
Hang turnbuckle (G) or connecting link (C) through the hole
on each concrete anchor (F). (See Figure 1)
NOTE:
For larger displays where the turnbuckles may be
hidden behind the displays, it may be acceptable to
install the turnbuckles behind the display instead of up
at the ceiling. Otherwise, installing the turnbuckles at
the ceiling is recommended for safety reasons.
5.
Insert portion of manufactured
loop
on cable (J) through
hole in turnbuckle (G) or connecting link (C). Insert end of
cable (J) through loop. (See Figure 1)
Wood Ceiling Structure
WARNING:
Anchors must be installed into wood that
measures at least 3-1/2" x 1-1/2" (88.9mm x 38.1mm), and
the anchor must install in the center of the narrower (1-1/2"
[38.1mm]) face.
1.
Drill 5/32" diameter x 2" deep hole at each marked cable
anchor support location (See Figure 2). Remove debris
from hole.
Figure 2
2.
Fully thread eye lag (E) into each hole (See Figure 2).
3.
Hang turnbuckle (G) or connecting link (C) through the hole
on each eye lag (F). (See Figure 2)
NOTE:
For larger displays where the turnbuckles may be
hidden behind the displays, it may be acceptable to
install the turnbuckles behind the display instead of up
at the ceiling. Otherwise, installing the turnbuckles at
the ceiling is recommended for safety reasons.
4.
Route end of cable (J) through turnbuckle (G) or connecting
link (C) hole and then through cable loop. (See Figure 2)
