Rigging
WARNING! Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Devices in overhead installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down. Make sure
that the device is installed securely and cannot fall down. The installation must be carried out by
a specialist who is familiar with the hazards and the relevant regulations.
The installation of the projector has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight
for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
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.
After installation, the device requires inspections periodically to prevent the possibility of rot, deformation and
looseness.
Secure the device with a safety bond or other secondary attachment. This secondary safety attachment must
be sufficiently dimensioned in accordance with the latest industrial safety regulations and constructed in a
way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.
Procedure:
The projector 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 and.or
damage to property.
The projector has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the projector shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be
used. The projector must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
Caution:
Projectors may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the
safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the projector!
Use 2 appropriate clamps to rig the fixture on the truss. Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of
the base. Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are
attaching the fixtures is secure.
The fixture’s base enables to be mounted in two ways.
The Moving-Head can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without
altering its operation characteristics.
For overhead use (mounting height >100 cm), always install
an appropriate safety bond.
You must only use safety bonds complying with DIN 56927,
quick links complying with DIN 56927, shackles complying
with DIN EN 1677-1 and BGV C1 carbines. The safety
bonds, quick links, shackles and the carbines must be
sufficiently dimensioned and used correctly in accordance
with the latest industrial safety regulations (e. g. BGV C1,
BGI 810-3).
Please note:
for overhead rigging in public or industrial
areas, a series of safety instructions have to be followed that
this manual can only give in part. The operator must
therefore inform himself on the current safety instructions
and consider them.
