To secure an XPAR 12Z fixture with a safety cable:
Figure 3. Safety cable attachment point
1. Loop a safety cable around a secure anchoring point such as a truss or fixed structure
so that it will catch the fixture if a rigging clamp fails. Take up as much slack as possible
in the safety cable (by looping it more than once around the truss, for example).
2. See Figure 3. Fasten the safety cable to the attachment hole on the back of the fixture
between the connectors. Check that the fixture is now secured.
Installing on a surface at any angle
To install an XPAR 12Z fixture on a surface at any angle:
1. Check that the surface is secure and can safely hold the weight of the fixture plus all
hardware and cables.
2. Loosen the handwheels on the mounting bracket, adjust the bracket to a suitable angle
and tighten the handwheels.
3. Hold the fixture in position on the surface and mark the positions of holes for fasteners on
the surface. You will need at least two fasteners. Drill holes if necessary.
4. Fasten the mounting bracket to the surface by passing at least two suitable fasteners
such as grade 8.8 steel bolts or screws through the holes in the bracket and fastening
them to the surface. Fasteners must be suitable for their purpose and the installation
environment.
5. In a temporary installation, secure the fixture with a safety cable as described in
‘Securing fixtures with a safety cable’ on page 14 if there is any risk that the fixture will
cause injury or damage if it falls.
