Installation
5.
***************************************************
***************************************************
DF-500 DigiFan may be suspended from a suitable
spport such as a truss, sitting on strong support
such as stand, or standing alone by its steel bracket.
Suspending from a Support
Block access below the work area and work from a
stable platform when installing, servicing or
removing the machines.
Always use a secure secondary attachment that can
hold at least 10 times the weight of the machine.
Rigging clamps are available as accessories from
KUPO Co.,Ltd.
Rigging clamps:
(a) KCP-836 stud coupler, which is incorporate a
16mm(5/8") stud
(b) KCP-844 TV coupler, which is with a 28mm TV
spigot or 16mm baby stud to horizontal or
vertical pipes
(c) KCP-100 TV clamp, which is with 29mm ( 1-1/8")
socket
(d) KCP-703 stage clamp, which is with 16mm stud
1. Verify that any structure used to supported the
machine can supported at least 10 times the total
weight of all installed fixtures, clamps, auxilary
equipment, etc.

6.
***************************************************
***************************************************
2. Check that all rigging clamps are undamaged and
can support at least 10 times the machine's weight
3. Clamp the fan to a truss or similar support
4. Loosen the swivel locks and tilt the fan to the
desired angle. Turn the swivel locks clockwise to
tighten. Check that fan, hardware and safety
attachment are secure before applying power
Sitting on a Supporting
Using a stand as a supporting for the Fan is more in
Grip Industry.
Stands supporting Fan to stand alone must be composed
by strong legs, and can afford the weight of the Fan.
(weight of the fan is 12.5kg, so the supporting
weight of the stand must be higher than 12.5kg) The
stand would be available to have from KUPO Co.,Ltd.
Stands:
(a) 310M Low Mighty Stand (supporting weight:35kg)
(b) 350 Runway Base Stand (supporting wieght:70kg)
Both of the above would need an adaptor to meet the
16mm hole of the fan to put on the stand.
Recommend adaptor: KUPO KS-200 adaptor 28mm/16mm stud

Master & Slave Installation
7.
***************************************************
***************************************************
Connect the DMX-output of the master fixture in the

until all slaves are connected (up to 9 devices).
Caution:
It is necessary to insert the XLR termination plug
(with 120 Ohm) into the input of the master device and
into the output of the last slave device in the link in
order to ensure proper transmission on the data link.

fog machine or hazer place the fan behind or beside
the machine as illustrated below ( photo A & B).
Do not place the fan in front of the fog machine
(Photo C) and direct the output from the fog machine
into the fan, as this will cause undesirable residue
build-up and the fan blades will degrade the quality
of the smoke.
