Unpacking
Unpack the device and inspect it to ensure that it has not been damaged during transport.
The P-6 is shipped with:
• One Neutrik TRUE1 power input connector, 2 m (78 in.)
• Two Omega brackets with 1/4-turn fasteners
Location / application
The fixture is IP66-rated and designed for both indoor and outdoor events. This means that it is protected from:
• Dust, to the degree that dust cannot enter the device in sufficient quantities as to interfere with its operation.
• Pressure jets of water from any direction.
When selecting a location for the device, ensure that:
• It is situated away from public thoroughfares and protected from contact with people.
• It is not immersed in water or exposed to high-pressure water jets.
• It has adequate ventilation.
When using the fixture for outdoor events, ensure that:
• For wireless DMX or standalone operation
, the protective cover is securely mounted in any unused DMX connectors.
• For cabled DMX operation
, the DMX out of the last fixture is terminated with a 120 Ohm resistor between pin 2 and 3
(according to the RS485 standard), and the DMX out is properly sealed, in accordance with the IP65 requirements.
A maximum of 32 fixtures can be connected to the same DMX link.
Transportation
Always use the supplied packaging or suitable flight case for transportation and storage.
Never carry the fixture by connected cables or wires; use the handle.
Preparing for installation
The P-6 may be installed in any orientation and it might take up to 3 omega brackets per
fixture. Always use omega brackets to rig the fixture and lock the bracket with the 1/4-turn
fasteners.
Please note:
The 1/4-turn fasteners are only locked when turned fully clockwise.
Rigging process
Start the rigging process by blocking the lower working area, and make sure the work is
performed from a stable platform.
1. Check that the clamp is undamaged and can bear at least 10 times the weight of
the fixture. Check that the structure can bear at least 10 times the weight of all
installed fixtures, lamps, cables etc.
2. Bolt the clamp securely to the omega bracket with a M12/ ½” bolt (min. grade 8.8)
and a lock nut.
3. Align the omega bracket with the two 1/4 turns in the base. Insert the fasteners into
the base bracket, and turn both levers a full1/4-turn clock wise to lock.
4. Working from a stable platform, hang the fixture on a truss or other structure.
Tighten the clamp.
5. Install a safety wire that can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. The
safety wire attachment point is designed to fit a carabiner.
6. Verify that there are no combustible materials, cables, or surfaces to be illuminated
within 0.3 m (12 in.) of the fixture.
7. Check that there is no risk of the head/yoke colliding with other fixtures or
structures.
