Connecting a stack of horizontally-oriented SP-6 Six Packs into an array thread
Up to eight horizontally-aligned SP-6 SixPacks can be connected using the snap-lock connectors
on the snap-lock brackets.
The device at the top of a horizontally-aligned array thread must always be flown using
suitable mounting hardware attached to the snap-lock bracket eye bolts and secured using
appropriate mounting hardware, such as G-clamps, 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 0.5 m (20 in.) built-in DMX and power cables.
To connect one SP-6 SixPack device to another:
1. Lift a SP-6 SixPack into position under the other. Depending on how you plan to daisy-chain
power and DMX cables between fixtures, you might choose to mount every second device
upside down so that the built-in DMX and power patch cables can reach the next device (see
“Planning the layout of fixtures in an array” on page 11).
2. Insert one end of the fixture into the snap-lock bracket of the other fixture and then insert the
opposite end of the fixture into the snap-lock bracket of the other fixture and click into place.
Note that devices connected using the snap-lock connectors can be curved outwards at an angle
of 29°.
To detach one fixture from another, release the lock by pulling the small ring at the female socket,
detach that end and pull the opposite end free.
