Physical installation
Warning! The ERA 500 Hybrid IP has a powerful pan motor. There is a powerful torque reaction when
the head is panned suddenly. Do not apply power to the ERA 500 Hybrid IP unless it is either
securely fastened to a structure such as a rigging truss or standing securely on a stable horizontal
surface.
Warning! Use two clamps to rig the fixture. Do not hang the fixture from only one clamp. Lock each
clamp with both 1/4-turn fasteners. Fasteners are locked only when turned a full 90° clockwise.
Warning! When suspending the fixture above ground level, secure it against failure of primary
attachments by attaching a safety cable that is approved as a safety attachment for the weight of the
fixture to the attachment point in the base. Do not use the carrying handles for secondary
attachment.
Warning! When clamping the fixture to a truss or other structure at any other angle than with the
yoke hanging vertically downwards, use two clamps of half-coupler type. Do not use any type of
clamp that does not completely encircle the structure when fastened.
Warning! Position or shade the head so that the front lens will not be exposed to sunlight or another
strong light source from any angle – even for a few seconds. See Figure 1. The ERA 500 Hybrid IP’s
lens can focus the sun's rays, creating a potential fire hazard and causing damage.
Important! Do not point the output from other lighting fixtures at the ERA 500 Hybrid IP, as powerful
light can damage the display.
See Figure 1. Lenses can focus sunlight and
strong light, presenting a risk of fire and
damage to the fixture. Shield or shade the
head if necessary.
The ERA 500 Hybrid IP can be fastened to a
surface such as a stage or clamped to a
truss in any orientation.
Clamps must be approved for the weight
supported. They must be half-coupler (see
Figure 3) or equivalent type that fully
encircles the truss. If the fixture is installed
with the yoke hanging vertically downwards
and is not subject to vibration or any other
forces, G-clamps or quick-trigger clamps
may be used provided that they are approved
for the weight supported.
See Figure 2. The mounting points in the
base allow a pair of omega brackets with
quarter-turn fasteners with 106 mm (4.17
ins.) center-to-center spacing to be fastened
to the base to allow rigging clamp
attachment.
