Electrical safety

Check that your electrical installation complies with current standards.

Always connect the product to electrical ground.

The PSX9 power unit must be connected directly to the mains
(100-240 VAC~ / 50-60 Hz).
DO NOT CONNECT TO AN ELECTRONIC OUTPUT
(dimmer, solid-state relay, etc.)

Do not connect any device other than the PSX9 power unit to the power supply
repeater socket.

Ensure the repeater power supply is not overloaded (MAX 16 A).


the ventilation grills.

The ELIDY-S, WALL and BIG products need a hybrid power cable designed by
CHROMLECH to operate. This cable is not supplied with the product and is
available as an optional extra in a wide variety of lengths. Chromlech declines
any liability if other cables are used to operate products in the ELIDY range.

personnel.

Installation personnel should wear statutory safety equipment while putting up
and taking down the system.

Ensure that the public and personnel are prevented from passing underneath
the system while it is being rigged. The rigging area must be cordoned off and
inaccessible to the public.

Never leave the system unattended
during installation.

Do not allow anybody, whether stage hands, artists or members of the public, to
climb, jump or hang from products in the ELIDY range.

Do not place any object, however small, on the equipment during
rigging. It may fall while the equipment is being suspended and cause personal
injury.

NEVER attach any equipment other than CHROMLECH accessories to ELIDY
products.

CHROMLECH is not liable for rigging accessories that are not manufactured by
CHROMLECH.

The safety cable (not supplied) must have a suitable SWL for the weight
of the device you wish to secure. The safety cable, which must be attached
correctly to the device and the support frame, must be installed so that if the
main support system fails, the fall of the device will be limited as much as
possible. If a safety cable comes into play
following a fall, IT IS ESSENTIAL to replace it.

Take the same care when taking the system down as
when installing it. Pack it away carefully after use.
