Rigging:
NOTE: The installation of this unit must be carried out by qualied service personal only. Improper
installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to the property. Overhead rigging requires
extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certied installation materials should be
used and the installed unit should be inspected regular intervals for safety.
Before rigging overhead:
Makesuretheareabelowtheinstallationplaceisfreefromunwantedpersonsduringrigging,
de-riggingandservicing.
Locatethextureinawellventilatedspot,farawayfromanyammablematerialsand/orliquids.
Thexturemustbexed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10timesthe
device’sweight.
Alwaysuseacertiedsafetycablethatcanhold12times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xed;afree-swingingmountingisdangerousandshouldnotbeused.
Don’tcoveranyventilationopeningsasthismayresultinoverheating.

Thesuppliedhangingbracketcanbeusedtoplacetheunitontheoorandpointitinadesireddirection.Inthis
caseaproperandstablebaseshouldbeused!
Thehangingbracketcanalsobeusedtohangtheunitontrussandpointitinthedesireddirection:
Fix2suitabletrussclampstotheholesinthehangingbracket.Makesurethatbothclampsarermlyxedto

NOTE: Using the supplied hanging bracket you CANNOT x more than one unit together. If you want
to hang and array of units , you must use the optional heavy Tri Pixel Panel 25 Flying bracket
(ELUM085A).
