OVERHEAD RIGGING
Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only.
Improper installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property.
Overhead rigging requires extensive experience! Working load limits should be
respected, certified installation materials should be used, the installed device
should be inspected regularly for safety.
Make sure the area below the installation
place is free from unwanted persons during
rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far
away from any flammable materials and/or
liquids. The fixture must be fixed
at least
50cm
from surrounding walls.
The device should be installed out of reach of
people and outside areas where persons may
walk by or be seated.
Before rigging make sure that the installation
area can hold a minimum point load of
10times the device’s weight.
Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when
installing the unit. This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no
part of the installation can drop more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be
considered!
Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating
and
machine-technical
installations are approved by an expert before using them for the first time. The
installations should be inspected every year by a skilled person to be sure that safety is
still optimal.
CAUTION EYEDAMAGE:
Always position the laser in a way that
prevents the audience from looking directly into the laser beams. The
installation should assure that the beam will not strike the audience.
HOW TO SET UP AND CONTROL THE UNIT
Regular breaks during operation are essential to maximize the life of this device as it is
not designed for continual use.
Do not switch the unit on and off in short time intervals as this reduces the lamp life.
Always unplug the unit when it is not used for a longer time. or before replacing the bulb
or start servicing.
In the event of serious operating problems, stop using the fixture and contact your dealer
immediately.
Important:
Never look directly into the laser beam! Don’t use the effect in the presence
of persons suffering from epilepsy.
