The Swivel Bracket
The Swivel bracket was designed to maximize the distribution of fog, snow, or bubbles. It has a load capacity of
100lb/45kg with a rotational swing of 90 degrees. Maximum rotational speed is of 8 rpms. This unit operates
from 120 to 230 volts. Power is supplied with a Neutrik Powercon cord set and is protected by a circuit breaker
equipped power switch. The Swivel Bracket is manufactured with heavy duty tapered thrust bearings and the
metal chassis is coated with a durable black powder nish.
The Dual Hanging Mounts provide a secure and safe method to fasten onto any truss rigging. It is equipped with
DMX/RDM capabilities and a built in DMX LED display. Local control of the rotational speed and auxiliary port can
be adjusted by using the alternate addressing of the DMX LED display.
An auxiliary power outlet rated at 8 amperes is switched by the second DMX channel when over 50%.
