Mounting the Fixture Upright

Caution: Do not mount the fixture upright without the four rubber feet.

To mount the fixture upright, make sure that all four rubber feet are installed on the fixture’s base and place the fixture on a sturdy, stable surface that will support more than the 39 kg (85 lb) weight of the DL.1 fixture. If the surface is above floor height, use safety cables to secure the fixture to the surface.

You can optionally lock the DL.1’s pan and tilt positions if desired, (see Figure 2-9 on page 2-12).

Note: The minimum focusable distance for the DL.1 fixture is 1.4 meters. Placing the DL.1 closer than 1.4 meters to any object won’t allow it to focus properly.

Truss Mounting

Verifying the Truss Support

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.

Verify that fixture clamps used are capable of supporting the weight of the fixture. Cheeseborough clamps for a two-inch truss are available from your High End Systems dealer/distributor (see “Optional Accessories” on page 1-2).

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.

You will need:

•safety cables (1)

•cheeseborough clamps (2)

•locking washers (2)

Clamps

Always mount the DL.1 fixture with the cheeseborough clamps that shipped with your fixture and a safety cable attached (using the mounting bracket) to the fixture’s base, shown in Figure 2-3.Do not use C- Clamps to mount the DL.1 fixture. You can remove the mounting clamps for floor applications.

Caution: Do not store loose clamps in the bottom of the road case, as they may cause damage to the unit head and output window.
