Installation Procedures

Hanging the Luminaire

The VLZ SPOT Luminaire can be hung horizontally or vertically from any structure
designed to work with the type of load created by this moving luminaire. Two mounting
truss hooks or other mounting hardware are required. Many compatible truss hooks are
available from different manufacturers for your particular needs.
A minimum of two hooks per luminaire is required. If mounting
method does not use truss hooks, two attachment points, per
luminaire, are required.
Install mounting hardware and brackets:
Step 1. Install truss hooks on two provided truss hook brackets
as required as shown in Figure 2-2.
Step 2. Determine required configuration of bracket installation.
Brackets may be insta/lled in many different orientations as
shown in Figure 2-3.
Step 3. While pulling up on locking mechanism release, fit
keyed holes onto raised mounting buttons at bottom of enclosure. Slide forward and release
locking mechanism to lock in place. Ensure brackets are locked securely.

WARNING: Ensure that the bracket locking mechanism is fully seated after the bracket is
installed on the luminaire.
AVERTISSEMENT: Assurez-vous que le mécanisme de support de verrouillage est
complètement inséré après le support est installé sur l'appareil.
