Hanging the Fixture Straight Down

You can mount Technobeam with the mirror head perpendicular to the ground for projection onto a stage. This orientation also allows you to economize truss space by hanging fixtures side by side close to each other.

You must observe all of the precautions listed on the previous pages regarding clamps and safety cables.

Caution

You should adjust the yoke position while

 

the fixture is resting on a flat surface;

 

otherwise, the fixture may be damaged if it

 

slides backward.

1.Use a 1/4” allen wrench to loosen the two yoke allen screws (see Figure 2-10).

2.Use a 1/4” allen wrench to loosen the four handle allen screws (two on each handle).

3.Slide the yoke to the rear of the fixture.

4.Loosen the T-handles on each side and rotate the yoke toward the rear of the fixture.

5.Tighten the allen screws and T-handles on both sides of the fixture, then secure the fixture to the truss using a C-clamp with a locking washer and safety cable as shown in Figure 2-10. When the fixture is mounted like you want it, securely tighten the fixture’s T-handles.
