2.1. Overhead installation
Danger of life!
You have to observe the regulations of BGV C1 (formerly VBG
70) and EN60598-2-17 Installations are to carry out by skilled
personnel only.
The suspension devices have to be build and measured so they can
withstand for an hour the tenfold of the payload without suffering a
permanent detrimental deformation.
Basically installation has to be made by using a second separate suspension.
This can be e.g. a suitable net. The second suspension must be designed and
attached so no part of the installation can fall down in case of failure.
During construction, reconstruction and deconstruction unnecessary stay in
the range of moving areas, on lightning bridges, under elevated work stations
or any other danger zones is forbidden.
The operator is obliged to following safety-related and mechanical facilities:
•Before the first start-up or after critical changes before restarting it has
to be checked by an expert.
•Review in the frame of the inspection test at least all four years by an
expert. .
•Review by a qualified person at least once a year.
How to carry out the overhead installation:
Ideally the device should be installed outside lounge areas of people.
IMPORTANT! Overhead installation requires a high level of experience. This
includes knowledge of calculating the payload, used installation material
and safety inspections of the used material and the projector whereas the
required experience is not limited to this. Do not try to carry out installation
yourself under any circumstances if you are not qualified. Contact a
professional installer. An inappropriate installation can lead to injuries and/or
damaged properties.
