High End Systems DL.2 user manual Mounting the Fixture, Fog Machine Warning

CHAPTER 2

Setup and Configuration

Mounting the Fixture

You can mount DL.2 fixtures 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!

Always use a secondary safety cable when mounting this fixture.

Maintain a minimum focus distance of 1.4 meters from a 1.4 m combustible object.

Do not mount on a flammable surface.

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.

Fog Machine Warning

Like all high quality video projection units, the DL.2 fixture must be kept protected from excessive amounts of glycol fog, mineral oil, and smoke. DL.2 incorporates a two-stage air filtering system with additional washable prefilters in the head and base housing to reduce these risks to a minimum. However, you must follow these guidelines to ensure continued operation of the fixture:

•Air filters (both fixture and projector) should be checked and cleaned on a regular basis. When used in a closed or fixed environment where fog or haze is used, we recommend at least a weekly check.

•Do not situate DL.2 in areas of high fog density such as directly in front of a fog machine or mineral oil hazer.

•Minimize the exposure of DL.2 to both glycol fog and mineral oil.

DL.2 is a highly complex and sensitive electro-optical device and care and thought in how it is used, rigged, and positioned will maximize the product’s life and your investment.

Note: Failure to follow these guidelines and carry out regular maintenance will void the warranty.
