2.2 Rigging the fixture
A structure intended for installation of the fixture (s) must safely hold weight of the fixture(s) placed on it. The
structure has to be certificated to the purpose.
The fixture (fixtures) must be installed in accordance with national and local electrical and construction codes
and regulation.
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 a skilled
person once a year.
Allow the fixture to cool for ten minutes before handling.
The projector should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including 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 use a help of professional
companies.
CAUTION: Fixtures may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety
of a possible installation, do not install the fixture!
The fixture has to be installed out of the reach of the prying fingers of the public.
The fixture can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its
operation characteristics.
For securing a fixture to the truss, install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.
Use only the safety wire with screw-on carabineer. Pull the safety wire through the safety attachment point
on the bottom of the base and around the truss as shown on the pictures below.
For overhead installation, the fixture must be always secured with a safety wire
Caution !
When installing the device, make sure there are no items likely to fall into the path
of the rotating head (decoration articles, etc.) within a distance of 1m.
The head of the unit can rotate at speed continuously causing such items to wrap
thermselves into the motors and cause failure of the equipment.
CAUTION!
Use 2 appropriate clamps to rig the fixture on the truss. Ensure the Omega Clamps
are securely fixed before hanging and that a safety bond is used in case of failure.
Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss)
to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.
