Installation
Refer to the illustrations on page
2
of this manual.
a) Overhead mounting
•
Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable
norms.
•
The construction to which the device is attached should be able to support 10 times the weight of
the device for one hour without deformation.
•
The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.
•
Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a
qualified technician check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.
•
Install the device in a location with few passers-by and inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
•
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, determining the
installation material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not
attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may
result in serious injuries.
•
For truss-mounting, use an appropriate clamp (not incl.) and fit an M10 bolt through the centre of
the (folded) bracket.
•
Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
b) DMX-512 connection
•
When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of a controller (not incl.)
and the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input
of the
VDPL1003xW.
Multiple
VDPL1003xW’
s can
be linked through serial linking. The linking cable should be a dual core, screened cable with XLR
input and output connectors.
•
Maximum recommended serial data link distance is 500 meters (1640 ft). Maximum recommended
number of fixtures on a serial data link is 32 fixtures.
•
A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance
or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos). The terminator prevents corruption of the
