2.2 Warnings
The EVO-LINK-200 series is intended for use by fully qualified, trained and
competent persons to provide safe and secure transportation, installation and
adjustment of projectors.
Warning: Handling only by instructed, qualified and authorised person with a
minimum age 18 years and of sound mind.
Only use the EVO-LINK-200 products as well as a corresponding frame with
projector in a closed environment (conference rooms, theatres, convention
halls, etc.) where there is no wind, moisture, excessive heat etc.
Make sure that only the designated projector frames are installed with the
products of EVO-LINK-200 series! Do not try to use it with other products
because serious accidents can occur!
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.
Only use the EVO-LINK and its components for its intended use.
If this product is used for something else than its intended use, serious accidents and
death may result. See chapter 6.1 Intended use
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 products of EVO-LINK-200 series outdoors.
This product is made only for indoor usage. If the product is mounted outdoor, there
are many influences like wind or rain that can have an effect on the stability of the
whole system.
This can cause property damage, serious accidents and death.

A visual inspection must be done prior to every installation, in which the system is
involved. The inspection must be performed by a qualified person.
All parts of an EVO-LINK truss mount must be inspected in detail prior to any usage
Only if the product and all its components are in a flawless condition, it is safe to use
the system.
For further details, see chapter 10. System maintenance and inspection Re-
examination
Using a truss mount which has damages, missing parts or the like can cause serious
accidents and death.
Only use projector frames and projectors that are specified by the manufacturer to be
used with the frame. When mounting the projector frame to the EVO-LINK, use all screws
and washers that are specified by the manufacturer. Make sure to tighten the screws
safely, with the provided torque information
It is mandatory to use all screws and washers that the manufacturer defines to
mount the projector frame to the EVO-LINK. Use only the ones that are clearly
specified.
For a safe installation the screws must be tightened with the provided torque
Using the wrong screws or washers is highly dangerous. Tightening the screw with a
to low torque can cause the screw to loosen itself. Tightening the screw with a too
high torque might cause structural damage to the screw or the thread inside the
projector.
Ignoring these instructions can cause the parts or the whole system to fall down and
with this can cause death, serious injuries or product damage.
Do not install the EVO-LINK truss mount and / or the projector frame while people are
present under the mounting zone during the installation process.
When installing the system (EVO-LINK, projector frame, projector) make sure no one
is in the area underneath the installation zone. Otherwise, this will be a risk for all
people underneath, that could cause serious injuries and death.
Make sure that the structure from which you hang the EVO-LINK up is capable of carrying
the overall weight of approx. 210 kg (463 lbs) plus the weight of all additional equipment
as well as other potential systems. Do not hang the truss mount from unstable or
inappropriate structures.

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 10.
System maintenance and inspection Re-examination
If the system is hung on an unstable structure, the entire system can fall down and
injuries may occur. Make sure that the construction can support a total weight of up
to 210,0 kg (463 lbs) plus the weight of all additional equipment as well as other
potential systems. The above-named weight of 210,0 kg (463 lbs) represents the
weight load limit of EVO-LINK-200 series which is 200,0 kg plus the weight of the
EVO-LINK itself.
Ignoring this might cause significant damage to the product and serious accidents or
death may result
Make sure to use only approved and recommended projector frames to be used with the
EVO-LINK products. Only use approved and recommended accessories.
Do not use other projector frames than the ones recommended and approved.
Otherwise, using incompatible projector frames may lead to serious injuries, death
and property damage
Do not use other accessories than the ones recommended and approved. Otherwise,
using insufficient accessories may lead to serious injuries, death and property
damage
Please also refer to chapter 4.2 Compatible frames for EVO-LINK-200 series
and also to chapter 5. Optional accessories
Make sure to not exceed max. weight loads.
Do not overload the products of EVO-LINK-200 series or of any accessories and make
sure the overall weight is within working specifications of the accessories. Please also
refer to chapter 5. Optional accessories as well as to chapter 9. Maximum stacking
information
Overloading the accessories and other equipment can cause serious accidents and
death
The EVO-LINK-200 series and the used clamps are made for installing on 48-51mm
diameter pipe structures. Do not try to use it with other dimensioned structures
Ignoring this and trying to install the system to a different pipe diameter then 48 to
51mm is not allowed as it will not be safe and people might get hurt or killed.
Do not hang more projector frames under EVO-LINK-200 series products than allowed by
the manufacturer

Do not exceed the maximum number of hung units as this may cause the whole
system or parts of it to fall down. Refer to chapter 9. Maximum stacking information
Ignoring this might cause significant damage to the product and serious accidents or
death may result
When using the adjustment features of the EVO-LINK products, never apply significant
force.
When using the adjustment features of the products, never apply force. All
adjustments shall work smoothly and do not require significant force.

Ignoring this, might cause significant damage to the product and serious accidents
may result
Always secure the projector frame to the rigging truss with rigging slings with steel cable
insert and shackles (two sets of rigging sling and shackle are recommended).
The projector frame must always be secured with an appropriate rigging sling and
shackle so that in case of a malfunction it doesn’t fall more than 10 cm. 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.
It is important to use correct rigging slings with cable inserts and shackles that are
capable to resist the high dynamic forces.
Refer also to chapter 7.2 Mounting the EVO-LINK-200 or EVO-LINK-201 to a truss and
7.3 Mounting the EVO-LINK-210 or EVO-LINK-211 to a truss
The rigging slings and shackles act as a secondary safety element and it is mandatory
to use them. Not using them or using the wrong products might cause serious
accidents and death.
Service work shall only be done by qualified personnel that is authorized by the
manufacturer. Furthermore, only original spare parts shall be used.
Unauthorized personnel shall never do service work on the products, as service work
requires special training and knowledge
Spare parts must always be original ones, provided by the manufacturer
Not observing these rules on service work ends with immediate effect the
responsibility of the manufacturer and, where applicable, warranty is irrecoverably
lost. The product is no longer safe to use. This may cause serious accidents or death
and property damage.
