Physical installation

Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before installing the fixture.

The fixture is designed for indoor use only and must be used in a dry location with adequate ventilation. Ensure that none of the fixture’s ventilation slots are blocked and ensure that the product is fastened to a secure structure or surface.

Martin™ can supply suitable safety cables and rigging clamps for use with the fixture (see ‘Accessories’ on page 37).

Fastening the fixture to a flat surface

The fixture can be fastened to a hard, fixed, flat surface that is oriented at any angle. Ensure that the surface can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it.

Fasten the fixture securely. Do not stand it on a surface or leave it where it can be moved or fall over. If you install the fixture in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, secure it as directed below with a securely anchored safety cable that will hold the fixture if the primary fastening method fails.

Mounting the fixture on a truss

The fixture can be clamped to a truss or similar rigging structure in any orientation. When installing the fixture hanging vertically down, you can use an open-type clamp such as a G-clamp. When installing in any other orientation, you must use a half-coupler clamp (see illustration on right) that completely encircles the truss chord.

To clamp the fixture to a truss:

1. Check that the rigging structure can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it.

2. Block access under the work area.

3. Fold the legs of the mounting bracket together and bolt a rigging clamp securely to the mounting bracket. The bolt used must be M12, grade 8.8 steel minimum. It must pass through both mounting bracket legs and be fastened with a self-locking nut.

4. Working from a stable platform, hang the fixture with its clamp on the truss and fasten the clamp securely.

5. Secure the fixture with a safety cable as directed below.
