 Portman Custom Lights P3 PIXEL

Portman Spinner 

Before  building  a  structure  with  Portman  Spinners  read  and  follow  the  safety  recommendations 
indicated in the Safety Information chapter. 

Each Portman Custom Lights P3 PIX3L comes with a Portman Spinner that allows you to build structures 
with P3s easily.  Portman Spinner is a construction element designed especially for P3 PIX3L fixtures. 
Using it you can build horizontal or vertical lines, arrays, circles or arcs. Portman Spinner consists of the 
center plate and three arms, which can be removed if necessary. When attaching an arm to a center 
plate remember to tight the screws firmly. Use only attached screws and self-locking nuts, Always use 
the proper tools to tighten the screws, never tight them only manually.  

 

Portman recommends following the rules below when building a structure with Portman Spinner.

 

Before staring any works with Portman Spinners make sure, that the surface onto which you 
are  attaching  Portman  Spinner  structure  can  support  the  weight  of  the  structure  and  the 
fixtures; 

 

Always use safety wires to secure all of the fixtures in the rig individually; 

 

Never  use  Portman  Spinner  to  build  structures  with  more  than  7  P3  PIX3Ls.  Build  more 
separated structures if you want to use more P3s in a rig. 

 

Always attach structures built with Portman Spinners with at least two clamps (you should 
use more if needed).  

 

Make sure, that all of the screws of Portman Spinner are tightened firmly before using Spinner. 
Use only self 

 locking nuts to attach fixtures to Portman Spinner structure. When using wing 

nut always tighten it with proper tool. 

 

You can detach 

one of Spinner’

s arm if your rig requires that.
