3.2. Rigging the fixture
The installation of the projector has to be built and constructed in such a way that it can hold 10 times the
weight of the fixture for 1 hour without any deformation.
The installation must be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g., an appropriate safety cable. This
secondary safety attachment must be constructed in such a way that no part of the fixture can fall in the
event of a primary attachment failure.
When rigging, de-rigging, or servicing the fixture, staying in the area below the installation, on bridges, under
high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator must make sure that safety related and machine technical installations are approved by an
expert before operating the fixture for the first time or after changes have been made to the installation.
The projector has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the projector is to be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used.
The projector must never be allowed to swing freely.
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. Projectors may cause severe injuries when they come
crashing down! Improper installation can result in bodily injury and/or damage to property. If you have any
doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do
NOT install!
DANGER OF FIRE!
When installing the fixture, make sure there are no highly inflammable
materials (decoration articles, etc.) closer than 0.5 m.
CAUTION!
Use 2 appropriate clamps to rig the fixture onto the truss.
Follow the instructions on the bottom of the base.
Make sure that the fixture is secured properly!
Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixture is secure.
The
ARENA COLOUR WASH can be placed directly
on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a
truss without altering its operation characteristics (see
the drawing).
The fixture’s base enables it to be mounted in two
ways. Use the clamps with M10 or M8 screws - check
the base bottom.
Install a safety cable that can hold at least 10 times
the weight of the fixture. Never use the carrying
handles for secondary support.
