2. SETUP
2.1. Installation
Pay attention to safety! Please respectively consider the EN 60598-2-17 and
the national standard during the installation. The authorized dealer must
only carry out the installation.
The installation of the xture has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold
10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming demolition. The installation must
always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net.
This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the
installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.
When rigging, de-rigging or servicing the xture staying in the area below the instal-
lation place, on bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is
forbidden. The operator has to make sure that the safety measure and the machine’s
technical installation is approved by an expert before taking into operation for the rst
time and after changes before taking into operation anther time. He has also to make
sure that an expert approves safety measure and the machine’s technical installation
once a years.

If the xture shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing
systems have to be used. The xture must never be xed swinging freely in the room.
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10
times the projector’s weight.

2.2. Module Mechanical Connection
Each module can be used either individually or in blocks of several modules. In the
case of Master/Slave mode, the maximum number is 16; in the case of external com-
puter software (not supplied), the maximum number is dened by the capacity of the
software and the number of DMX outputs of the DMX control unit connected from the
computer to the modules. For more information, refer to the section “4.5. DMX Control-
ler or PC software” on page 16.
Single module Use
As you can see from the following gure, the cabinet of each module is provided with a
swivel bracket and 2 small brackets for truss mounting. The screws on each side of the
swivel brackets allow the user to block the module in the desired position.
In the case of truss mounting with the brackets, it also advisable to use hooks (see
www.soundsationmusic.com website for details on available models) connected to the
