5. RIGGING
DANGER TO LIFE!
Please consider the DIN 15560 and the respective national norms during the
installation! The installation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer!
The installation of the holding device 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.
A skilled person has to approve the flying construction before every use. This approval includes appearance
and load tests when moved.
Procedure:
The installation should be attached 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. 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 and.or damage to property.
The installation has to be attached out of the reach of people.
Make sure that the projectors' minimum distance from lighted objects (symbol
- - -m
) and the maximum
ambient temperature T
a
are never exceeded at the installation spot.
Caution:
The loads have to be installed in a balanced way.
Install the luminaires on the fundamental part and do always install a safety-rope that can hold at least 12
times the weight of the fixture. You must only use safety-ropes with quick links with screw cap. Pull the
safety-rope through the attachment eyelet on the rear panel of the device and over the dimmer bar or a safe
fixation spot. Insert the end in the quick link and tighten the safety screw.
