Physical installation
Warning! The fixture must be either fastened to a flat surface such as a stage or wall, or clamped to a truss or
similar structure in any orientation using a rigging clamp.
Warning! If the fixture can cause injury or damage if it falls, attach an approved safety cable to one of the safety cable
attachment points on the base (see “Fixture overview”).
Check that all surfaces to be illuminated are minimum 200 mm. from the fixture, that combustible materials
(wood, fabric, paper, etc.) are minimum 100 mm. from the fixture, that there is free airflow around the fixture
and that there are no flammable materials nearby.
Fastening the fixture to a flat surface
The
fixture can be fastened to a fixed flat surface that is oriented at any angle. Check that the surface can
support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it.
Warning! The supporting surface must be hard and flat or cooling may be blocked, which will cause overheating.
Fasten the fixture securely. Do not stand it on a surface or leave it where it can be moved or can fall over. Attach a
securely anchored safety cable to the safety cable attachment point (see “Fixture overview”) if the fixture is
to be installed in any location where it may fall and cause injury or damage if the primary attachment fails.
1. Block access under the work area. Working from a stable platform, hang the fixture on the truss with the
arrow on the base towards the area to be illuminated. Tighten the rigging clamp.
2. Secure the fixture against clamp failure with a secondary attachment such as an approved safety cable
that is rated for the weight of the fixture using one of the attachment points at the edges of the base (see
“Fixture overview”). Do not use any other part of the fixture as a safety cable attachment point.
The installation of the fixture has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour
without any harming deformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This
secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main
attachment fails.
When rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under high
working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before
taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert after
every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person
once a year.
The fixture should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to) calculating
working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the
projector. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural
rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury or damage to property.The fixture has to be installed out of the
reach of people.
