LC Plus user manual
One vertical stack with LC Plus 2140 panels resting on each other may contain a maximum of seven LC
Plus 2140 panels stacked upright or five LC Plus 2140 panels stacked on their sides.
An unlimited number of stacks of panels may be installed alongside each other.
If you install panels in a standing position:
1. Check that any structure or equipment used for support can bear at least 10 times the weight of all the
panels, clamps, cables, auxiliary equipment, etc. that will be placed on it.
2. Make sure that there will be at least 30 cm (11.8 in.) of free space and unrestricted airflow to and around
the heatsink fins in the base of the panels.
3. Check that there are no combustible materials within 0.5 m (20 in.) of the panels when installed, and that
there are no flammable materials nearby.
4. Fasten panels securely so that they cannot tip or fall. Panels are not safe if left free-standing.
Flying from a truss, bar or other structure
See Figure 3. One vertical curtain with LC Plus 1140 panels suspended from each other may contain a
maximum of eight panels. One vertical curtain with LC Plus 2140 panels suspended from each other may
contain a maximum of six panels. These limits apply to panels both when suspended in an upright position
and when suspended on their sides.
An unlimited number of curtains of panels may be installed
alongside each other.
To fly panels from a rig or other structure:
1. Check that the structure can bear at least 10 times the
weight of all the panels, clamps, cables, auxiliary equipment,
etc. that it will have to support.
2. See Figure 4. Check that the structure will not flex under the
weight of the panels. Hanging panels from a structure that is
not straight will place a strain on panels. Damage caused to
panels by mechanical stress is not covered by the product
warranty.
3. Check that there are no combustible materials within 0.5 m
(20 in.) of the panels when installed, and that there are no
flammable materials nearby.
4. Install two conical couplers in the top of the first panel and
install two rigging clamps or eyebolts on the couplers.
5. Block access under the work area. Working from a stable
platform, hang the panel by fastening the rigging clamps or
eyebolts to the truss or structure.
6. See Figure 5. Do not use the ventilation holes
(arrowed) in the top rail to support the weight of
panels when lifting or installing. The only
permitted method of supporting the weight of
panels is by means of two conical couplers
fastened into the coupler sockets in the top rail
and secured with spigots (as shown in Figure 7
on page 11).
