Setup and Configuration

Mounting the Fixture Upright

CAUTION!

Do not mount the fixture upright without the four rubber feet attached.

To mount the fixture upright, place the fixture on a sturdy, stable surface that will support more than the 53.5 kg (118 lb) weight of the DL.2 fixture. If the surface is above floor height, use safety cables to secure the fixture to the surface.

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 DL.2 fixture with the mounting bracket assembly that shipped with your fixture and a safety cable attached (using the mounting bracket) 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 DL.2 fixture to truss.

Use the following steps to mount a DL.2 fixture on a standard truss:

1.Due to it’s 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 a fixture to its support.

2.Mount the clamps that shipped with fixture to the mounting brackets and then attach the two mounting brackets to the base of the fixture using the provided quarter-turn screws.
