Mounting points
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience,
including among others calculating working load
limits, a fine knowledge of the installation mate
-
rial being used, and periodic safety inspection of
all installation material and the fixture. If you lack
these qualifications. Do not attempt the installation
yourself, improper installation can result in bodily
injury.
Be sure to complete all rigging and installation
procedures before connecting the main power cord
to the appropriate wall outlet.
Clamp mounting
The Halo 712 XL provides a unique mounting brack-
et assembly that integrates the bottom of the base,
the included ‘omega bracket’ and the safety cable
rigging point in one unit (see the illustration below).
When mounting this fixture to truss be sure to sere
to secure an appropritely rated clamp to the includ-
ed omega bracket using a M10 screw fitted
through the center hole of the ‘omega bracket’.As
an added safety measure be sure to attached at
least one properly rated safety cable to the fixture
using on of the safety cable rigging point integrated
in the base assembly.
DMX-512 control connection
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin
XLR output of your controller and the other side to
the male 3-pin XLR input of the Halo 712 XL. You
can chain multiple Halo 712 XL together through
serial linking. The cable needed should be two core,
screened cable with XLR input and output connec-
tors. Please refer to the diagram below.
DMX-512 connection with DMX
terminator
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a
long distance or is in an electrically noisy environ-
ment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended
to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing
corruption of the digital control signal by electrical
noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug
with a 120 resistor connected between pins 2 and 3,
which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of
the last fixture in the chain. Please see illustrations
below.
