3.3 Rigging the xture
The overhead installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate
safety rope. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can
fall down if the main attachment fails.
When rigging, derigging or servicing the xture 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 rst 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 an
expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled
person once a year.
The xture 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 qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead
use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury or damage to property.
The xture has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the xture shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The
xture must never be xed swinging freely in the room.
Caution: Fixture may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of
a possible installation, do not install the moving head!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the xture’s weight.
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inammable
material (decoration articles, etc.) in a distance of min. 0.4 m.
CAUTION!
Use an appropriate clamp to rig the xture on the truss.
Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base.
Make sure that the device is xed properly! Ensure that the
structure (truss) to which you are attaching the xtures is secure.
The xture can be placed directly on the stage oor by means of the rest of bracket 4) or rigged on a truss
by means of the omega holder (1) and clamp (2) without altering its operation characte ristics. Both removable
stand and omega holder can be fastened with two 1/4-turn locks (3) to the bottom of the xture. Adjust xture´s
head to desired position and tighten tilt lock (5) to secure the head position.
For securing the xture to the truss install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the xture.
