Mounting the Fixture
You can mount your SHOWPIX
®
fixture suspended from a support system (such as a truss) or
freestanding on its base.
WARNING!
Equipment suitable for dry locations only. Do not expose this
equipment to rain or moisture.
CAUTION!
SHOWPIX fixtures must be installed and operated by trained personnel
only.
Always use a secondary safety cable when mounting this fixture.
1 m
Maintain a minimum focus distance of 1 meter from a lighted object.
Note: Due to the wide variety of possible lighting designs, High End
Systems cannot make specific mounting recommendations. Consider
the following procedure as a suggested guideline only.
Mounting the Fixture Upright
CAUTION!
Do not mount the fixture upright without the four rubber feet
attached.
To mount the fixture upright:
1. Place the fixture on a sturdy, stable non-flammable surface that will support more than the
49 kg (108 lb) weight of the SHOWPIX
®
fixture. If the surface is above floor height, use
safety cables to secure the fixture to the surface.
2. Disengage Pan and Tilt locks before powering on the fixture.
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.
• Always mount the SHOWPIX fixture using the mounting bracket assembly that shipped with
your fixture and a safety cable attached to the fixture’s base.
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 SHOWPIX fixture to truss.
