1.2 Overhead Rigging
This item must be built in a way that it can hold 10 times more of its weight for 1
hour without causing any damage. The installation must be secured with a secondary
safety attachment. The Safety attachment has to be constructed in a way that no
part of the installation can fall. When rigging, de-rigging or servicing the fixture
ensure that the area below is secure. Before putting the device into operation, the
installation must be approved by an expert. The operator has to make sure that
safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person
once a year.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE.
Including (but not limited to) calculating working load limits, installation material
being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the
projector. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installations yourself,
but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in
bodily injury and/or damage to property.
Use only professional trussing system if the item is to be lowered from the ceiling or
high joists. Never let the device swing freely in a room.
CAUTION: Overhead Items may cause serious injuries when not installed correctly!! If
there is concern about the safety DO NOT INSTALL the device.

DANGER OF FIRE!
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly-flammable material
(decoration articles, etc.) within a distance of min. 0.5m.
Mount the projector with the mounting bracket to your trussing system using an
appropriate clamp.
For overhead use, always install a rated safety - wire that can hold at least 10 times
the weight of the fixture. You must only use rated safety –wire with quick links with
screw cap. Pull the rated safety - wire through the hole in the mounting bracket and
over the trussing system or a safe fixation spot. Insert the end in the quick link and
tighten the safety screw. The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20cm
A safety - wire which has already held the strain of a fall or which is defective must
not be used again.
IMPORTANT!
Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be approved by
an expert.
