INSTALLATION
The fixture is designed for indoor use only and must be used in a dry location with adequate
ventilation. Ensure that none of the fixture’s ventilation slots are blocked and ensure that the
fixture is fastened to a secure structure or surface. Do not use the fixture to illuminate sur
-
faces less than 8 m (approx 26ft.) from the fixture.
FASTENING THE FIXTURE TO A FLAT SURFACE
The fixture can be fastened to a hard, fixed, flat surface that is oriented at any angle. Ensure
that the surface and all fasteners used can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures
and equipment they will support. Fasten the fixture Securely. Do not place it on a surface or
leave it where it can be moved or fall over. If you install the fixture in a location where it may
cause injury or damage if it falls, secure it as directed below with a securely anchored safety
cable that will hold the fixture if the primary fastening method fails.
MOUNTING THE FIXTURE ON A TRUSS
The fixture can be clamped to a truss or similar rigging structure in any orientation. When
installing the fixture hanging vertically down, you can use an open-type clamp such as a
G-clamp. When installing in any other orientation, you must use a half-coupler clamp
that completely encircles the truss or pipe circumference. To clamp the fixture to a truss:
1. Check that the rigging structure can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and
equipment to be installed on it.
2. Block access under the work area.
3. Working from a stable platform, hang the fixture on the
truss and fasten the rigging clamps onto the truss.
4. Secure the fixture with a safety cable as directed below.
5. Check that the head will not collide with other fixtures or objects.
SECURING WITH A SAFETY CABLE
Secure the fixture with a safety cable (or other secondary attachment) that is approved for
the weight of the fixture so that the safety cable will hold the fixture if a primary attachment
fails. Loop the safety cable through and around a secure metal anchoring point.
