Rigging the Fixture

When rigging a unit, it is very important that you follow common safety procedures. Rigging requires extensive experience including but not limited to, calculating working loads, material being used, and periodic safety inspections. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself. The installation location of the projector must be built to hold 10 times the weight for one hour without any damage. Installation should be checked at least one time a year by a skilled person.
A fixture is designed to be installed with a 35mm Din rail track inside a NEMA box.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Installation Maintenance. The operator has to make sure that the unit is operating safely and has the installations and electronics checked by an expert every 2 years.
The following points must be considered during the inspection: 1) All screws used for installing the device or part of the device have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded. 2) There must not be any deformations on the housing, fixation, and installation spots (ceiling, suspension, trussing). 3) The electronic power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue (e.g. porous cables), or sediments. Further instructions depending on the installation spot and usage have to be adhered by a skilled installer and any safety problems have to be removed.
Note: There are no serviceable parts inside the device. Maintenance and service operations are to be carried out by authorized dealers.
Replacing the fuse: When possible, only replace the fuse with the same type and rating.
Replacing the power cable: If the power cable of this device becomes damaged, it has to be replaced by authorized dealers or trained professionals only.
Should you have further questions, please contact your dealer.
