Rigging process using the SGM Omega bracket
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/bracket 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/bracket securely to the omega bracket with a M12/ ½ bolt (min. grade 8.8 C5M) and a lock nut.
3.
Align an Omega bracket with two 1/4-turns in the G-7 BeaSt base. Insert the fasteners into the G-7 BeaSt base and turn
both levers a 1/4-turn clockwise to lock, make sure that the levers are completely locked. Install the second Omega bracket.
4.
Working from a stable platform, hang the fixture on a truss, or any other structure, and tighten the clamps. Note the
orientation of the base.
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.
Check if the tilt and pan lock is released (fig. 4). If not, push the slide button shown in the figure 4 to the right to release the
tilt lock.
7.
Verify that there are no combustible materials or surfaces to be illuminated within 300mm (12 in.) of the fixture.
8.
Check that there is no possibility of head or yoke colliding with other fixtures.

WARNING! Always secure an elevated G-7 BeaSt with a safety wire
Fasten a safety wire (not shown) between the load-bearing support structure and the safety wire attachment point on the device
(fig. 5).
The safety cable (not included in the package) must:
•
Bear at least 10 times the weight of the device (SWL).
•
Have a minimum gauge of 4mm.
•
Have a maximum length (free fall) = 300mm (12 in.).
CAUTION!!
•
Always use a safety wire of a grade AISI 316 steel.
•
Make sure the slack of the safety wire is at a minimum.
•
Never use the yoke or the carrying handles for secondary attachment.
