4.3 Rigging the xture
DANGER TO LIFE!
Please consider the respective national norms during the installation!
The installation must only be carried out by an authorized distributor!
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, derigging or servicing the xture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges,
under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert
before taking into operation for the rst time and after changes before taking into operation another time.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an
expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
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 device. If you lack these qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use
a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and.or damage to property.
The device has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the device shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used.
The device must never be xed swinging freely in the room.
Caution: Devices may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of
a possible installation, do NOT install the device!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device’s
weight.
CAUTION !
Provide a minimum clearance of 0.1meters around fans and air vents.
CAUTION!
Use 2 appropriate clamps to rig the device on the truss.
Maximum load of the xative plate is 10 kg.
Make sure that the device is xed properly! Ensure that the
structure (truss)to which you are attaching the xtures is secure.
The device can be placed directly on the stage oor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its
operation characteristics .
For overhead use, always install a safety-rope that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the device. You must
only use safety-ropes with screw-on carabines. Pull the safety-rope through the two apertures on the bottom of
the base and over the trussing system etc. Insert the end in the carabine and tighten the xation screw.
