INTENDED USE
The EVO-LINK-200 series truss mount is intended for use by fully qualified,
trained and competent persons to provide a safe and secure installation
and adjustment of the products.
Only use the truss mount with the frame in a closed indoor environment
(conference rooms, theatres, convention halls, etc.) where there is no wind,
moisture, excessive heat etc. Serious accidents and death can occur if the
products are installed in the wrong environment.
Make sure that only the compatible projector frames are installed to this
truss mount. Do not try to use it with not recommended frames because
serious accidents and death can occur!
The EVO-LINK-200 series is made for installing on 48-51mm diameter pipe
structures. Do not try to use it with other dimensioned structures as it will
not be safe and people might get hurt or killed.
Always use a rigging sling with steel cable insert and a shackle that is stable
enough for the load including dynamic forces when falling into the rigging
sling! (two sets of rigging sling and shackle are recommended) Otherwise it
is not allowed to use the product and serious accidents or death can
happen.
Do not remove or replace any parts of EVO-LINK-200 series on your own.
Contact the manufacturer or service partner in case of damage or loss.
Removing or replacing parts by non-certified companies or people might
result in serious accidents and death.
WARNINGS
Installation work should only be carried out by a qualified technician.
•If this product is not installed correctly, serious accidents and death may
result.
Do not use the EVO-LINK-200 series truss mount outdoor.
•This product is made only for indoor usage. If the EVO-LINK-200 series
truss mount is mounted outdoor, there are many influences like wind or

Manual EVO-LINK-200 series
Version 1.2

Page 7of 31
rain that can have an effect on the stability of the whole system. This can
cause serious accidents, death and property damage.
Do not hang the truss mount from unstable or inappropriate structures.
•If the truss mount is hung on an unstable structure, the entire system can
fall down and injuries or death may occur. Make sure that the construction
can support a total weight of 210 kg (463 lbs) plus the weight of all
additional equipment as well as other potential systems.
Make sure not to exceed the maximum weight load limits of 200 Kg / 441 lbs.
•If the attached frame with projectors and accessories such as cables,
lenses etc. is too heavy, it can break the truss mount, or the entire system
can fall down and property damage or injuries or death may occur.
Do not install the EVO-LINK-200 series or the frame while people are
present under the mounting zone.
•When installing the truss mount with the frame, make sure no one is in the
area underneath the installation zone to prevent serious injuries.
Always secure the truss mount to the rigging truss with a rigging sling with
steel cable insert and a shackle (two sets of rigging sling and shackle are
recommended).
•The truss mount must always be secured with an appropriate rigging sling
with steel cable insert and a shackle so that in case of a malfunction it
doesn’t fall more than 10 cm. The rigging sling and shackles must be
strong enough for all forces including dynamic force when the load is
falling into the rigging sling and shackles. Please consult the local laws or
regulations regarding the additional safety of hanging equipment. It is
recommended to use two sets of rigging sling and shackle to avoid too
much dynamic forces as well as the projector swinging. Refer to chapter
5.2 Mounting the EVO-LINK-200 or EVO-LINK-201 to a truss and 5.3 Mounting
the EVO-LINK-210 or EVO-LINK-211 to a truss for more information.
Tighten the adjustment handle with a maximum torque of 10 Nm to
guarantee a proper and safe fastening.
•A maximum torque of 10 Nm must be applied to guarantee a proper
fastening. Refer to chapter 6.1 Rough adjustment for more information.

Manual EVO-LINK-200 series
Version 1.2

Page 8of 31
•Only use tools to ensure the maximum torque of 10 Nm. This can be done
by lifting the handle and use a torque key at the 13mm nut.
•Do not use any tools to increase the force that is applied on the handle.
•If too much force is applied on the handle property damage or serious
accidents can occur.

CAUTION
Before installing the frame to the EVO-LINK-200 series truss mount, please
read the frame’s user manual.
•The EVO-LINK-200 series truss mount with the frame and the projector
attached must be installed only in an environment that is recommended
by the projector manufacturer.
Prior to any installation, you must do a visual inspection to make sure that
the system is in a good condition. For more information please refer to
chapter: 8. System maintenance and inspection (Re-examination)

5. EVO-LINK-200 series and the EVO frame series
5.1 Attaching to the frame
Figure 6 Downside of a frame with mounting points marked
EVO-LINK-200 series mounts have four M6 and four M8 screws to fix it to the
projector frame. All four M6 or all M8 screws have to be used.
Step 1: Place the frame, with the projector already installed, upside down on a
flat surface. The four M6 and the four M8 threads from the middle of the frame
have to be on the top.
Figure 6 shows a FRAME-EVO-P10 as example. Different frames have different
mounting points. Please consult the compatibility list presented on subchapter
1.2 Compatible frames for EVO-LINK-200 series to check if your frame is
compatible with the EVO-LINK-200 series. After this consult the corresponding
frame manual, to find out what type of mounting points are provided.

Page 17 of 31
Step 2: For the frames that have M6 and M8 threads, one can choose between
those two sets of screws. Use the 5 mm hex key to tighten the four M6 screws
with a torque of 10±0.5 Nm and the 6 mm hex key to tighten the four M8 screws
with a torque of 25±0.5 Nm. All four M6 or all M8 screws have to be used.
To see how many stacked frames can be hanged with EVO-LINK 200 series,
please check the chapter 7. Maximum stacking information .
Do not exceed the maximum load limit of 200kg for EVO-LINK-200 series.
Always use rigging slings with steel cable insert and shackles with correct
weight load to secure the entire set-up.
Torque:
M8: 25±0.5 Nm
M6: 10±0.5 Nm

5.2 Mounting the EVO-LINK-200 or EVO-LINK-201 to a truss
Step 1: Carefully move the truss mount with the frame attached towards the
truss. Please make sure that the self-lock hook clamp is open enough so it will fit
easily on the truss.
Step 2: When the truss mount with the frame are in the desired position, turn
the wing nut clockwise to secure your set-up.

Manual EVO-LINK-200 series
Version 1.2
20.01.2022
Page 19 of 31
Please tighten the wing nut until the EVO-LINK-200 series and the frame are
not oscillating and are in a safe position.
Always install the EVO-LINK-200 series in a vertical hanging position!
WARNING: Always secure the truss mount using appropriate rigging slings
with steel cable insert and shackles.
Make sure the rigging slings with steel cable insert and shackles are chosen
correctly regarding strength, format and length. You must care for a professional
and correct use of the rigging slings and the shackles. Make sure the rigging
slings and the shackles are strong enough for the load and the dynamic force
when the load falls into the rigging slings and shackles. Please avoid high
dynamic forces by ensuring that the truss mount and the frame will not drop
more than 10cm into the rigging slings. Depending on your application it is
recommended to use two sets of rigging sling and shackle to avoid too much
dynamic forces as well as the projector swinging.
Please consult the local laws or regulations regarding the additional safety of
hanging equipment.
For further information regarding an appropriate rigging sling with steel
cable insert and shackle please contact us.
