1.1Safety
About this chapter
Read this chapter attentively. It contains important information to prevent damage to the rigging frame. Ensure that you understand
and follow all safety instructions mentioned in this chapter before installing the rigging frame. After this chapter, additional “warnings”
and “cautions” are given depending on the installation procedure. Read and follow these “warnings” and “cautions” as well.
Installation personnel
This assembly of the frame and installation of the projector must be performed by authorized and qualified technical personnel only.
Single assembly only
You can only assemble the rigging frame one single time. While you can remove and install other projectors into the frame and it is
allowed to replace safety cables, it is not allowed to disassemble the rigging frame itself.
Expiry date provided adhesive
Make sure to check the expiry date of the adhesive, provided with the rigging frame. Make sure the adhesive (high strength threadlocker) is not expired.
If expired, makes sure to get new adhesive of similar or higher strength than the one provided in the kit.
Safety Data Sheets for Hazardous Chemicals
For safe handling information on chemical products, consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). SDSs are available upon request via
safetydatasheets@barco.com.
Securing all screws and stacking pins
Make sure that the thread of the screws and the stackin
g pins are provided with the necessary amount of adhesive.
CAUTION: Make sure that all the screws are sufficiently tightened. Respect the torque required to tighten all
screws.
Forgetting or neglecting to do this may result in an unsafe rigging frame.
CAUTION: When the safety cables have undergone a heavy shock, invisible da mag e may have occurred to
the safety cables. In this case the safety cables mus t be replaced.
Maximum stacking and hanging
The projectors can be stacked on top of each other on a flat surface, or suspended from a truss using the multifunctional frame.
Never transport the multifunctional frame in portrait position with a projector mounted. Failure to do so can cause damage the
multifunctional frame. Refer to image 1-1 for a bad and good example of transportation.
Image 1-1
Transportation method of the frame
This limitation only counts for transportation of a rigging frame with projector mounted. You can still install
the projector in portrait position while in the rigging frame.
1.2Introduction
Functionality
An F70 / F90 projector mounted in the multifunctional frame makes the projector more rugged and handy.
The multifunctional frame makes it possible to stack multiple projectors. This can be useful for a dual projection 3D system. In the
multifunctional frame, the projector can be rotated around x, y and z axis in order to obtain a seamless adjustment.
Furthermore, the multifunctional frame can be used to suspend the projector from a truss. This can be done either in a upright or
upside down position.
