Connecting vertically-oriented SP-6 Six Packs into an array thread
Up to eight vertically-aligned (upright) SP-6 SixPacks can be connected using
the supplied locking pins inserted through the eye holes on the snap-lock
brackets.
The device at the top of a vertically-aligned array thread must always be
flown using a vertical-array top mounting bracket (supplied with the fixture)
that is attached to a G-clamp or suitable mounting hardware, and secured to
a structure dimensioned to bear the load. We recommend that this top fixture
be oriented to enable it to be daisy chained to one of its neighbours using the
built-in DMX and power cables (see “Planning the layout of fixtures in an array”
on page 11).
If the array is to be curved along the vertical plane, then
only one locking pin is required at each end. To achieve a
flat, rigid array, insert locking pins in both holes.
To connect one vertically-oriented SP-6 SixPack device to another:
1. Lift a SP-6 SixPack into position under the other so that the eye holes
on each fixture are aligned. Orient the fixture so that the built-in DMX
and power patch cables and connectors are able to reach, or be
reached, by adjacent devices in a daisy chain.
2. Insert one (for curved array) or two (for flat array) of the supplied
locking pins into the holes and secure them using the cotter pins.
