Installation
Read ‘Safety information’ before installing the fixture.
The fixture is designed for indoor use only and must be used in a dry location with adequate ventilation.
Ensure that none of the fixture’s ventilation slots are blocked.
Fasten the fixture to a secure structure or surface. Do not stand it on a surface or leave it where it can
be moved or fall over. If you install the fixture in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it
falls, secure it as directed in this user manual using a securely anchored safety cable that will hold the
fixture if the primary fastening method fails.
Fastening the fixture to a flat surface
The fixture can be fastened to a hard, fixed, flat surface that is oriented at any angle. Ensure that the
surface and all fasteners used can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment to
be installed on it.
Fasten the fixture securely. Do not stand it on a surface or leave it where it can be moved or fall over. If
you install the fixture in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, secure it as directed
below with a securely anchored safety cable that will hold the fixture if the primary fastening method
fails.
Mounting the fixture on a truss
The fixture can be clamped to a truss or similar rigging structure in any orientation. When installing the
fixture hanging vertically down, you can use an open-type clamp such as a G-clamp. When installing in
any other orientation, you must use a half-coupler clamp that completely encircles the truss chord.
To clamp the fixture to a truss:
1. Check that the rigging structure can support
at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and
equipment to be installed on it.
2. Block access under the work area.
3. Fold the legs of the mounting bracket togeth
-
er and bolt a rigging clamp securely to the
mounting bracket. The bolt used must be
M10, grade 8.8 steel minimum. It must pass
through both mounting bracket legs and be
fastened with a self-locking nut.
4. Working from a stable platform, hang the fix
-
ture with its clamp on the truss and fasten the
clamp securely.
5. Secure the fixture with a safety cable as di
-
rected below.
Securing with a safety cable
Secure the fixture with a safety cable (or other secondary attachment) that is approved for the weight
of the fixture so that the safety cable will hold the fixture if a primary attachment fails.
Loop the safety cable through the eyebolt in the back of the fixture and around a secure anchoring
point. Do not loop the safety cable around the fixture’s mounting bracket only, as this will leave the fix
-
ture unsecured if it separates from the bracket.
