Truss Mounting
When mounting the fixture on a truss or another type of support:
• Verify the truss or support will handle the combined weight of all the devices on the truss.
Eac
h intellaspot fixture weighs 52.2 kg (115 lb).
• Always mount an intellaspot fixture using the mounting bracket assembly that shipped with
your fixture and a safety cable attached to the fixture’s base.
Use the following steps to mount an intellaspot fixture on a standard truss:
1. Due to its size and weight, at
least two people should
support the fixture while another attaches clamps and
safety cables. Always stand on a firm, stable surface
when mounting the fixture to its support.
2. Tighten the clamps firmly to the fixture’s base and to
th
e truss.
3. Run the safety cable through the loop on t
he fixture’s
base, and around the truss.
Side Mounting and Angular Mount by Moving Truss
When side mounting a intellaspot
fixture, orient the unit as show on
the right with the Display panel up
or down perpendicular to the floor
.
For fixtures in a side mount or at an
ac
ute Angular orientation, set the
Outrig Mode on the DMX console,
(see Control on page
45).
Note: Operating a fixture in the Outrig mode will slow Pan and Tilt motion.
WARNING!
Before mounting, disconnect power to the fixture. If it has been
operating, allow the fixture to cool for five minutes before handling.
CAUTION!
Do not use C- Clamps to mount the intellaspot fixture to a truss.
Only experienced lighting personnel should attempt to hang a lighting
fixture to an appropriate theatrical truss.
WARNING: In all cases a safety cable should also be fixed between the
safety cable mounting point located at the bottom of the fixture base
housing and the truss. Failure to use a safety cable could result in injury or
death. High End Systems supplies the proper safety cables and may be
contacted for replacements if necessary. For more information go to:
