Fixture location

The ELP Profile fixture is intended for interior use only. Do not install outside or in damp or humid
locations. The fixture requires free and unobstructed airflow around it to ensure adequate cooling.
Observe the following limitations in selecting a location:
•
Respect the limitations listed under Safety information' on page 5.
•
Do not locate the fixture in an unventilated space.

Mounting the fixture

Warning! All fasteners used to mount ELP Profile fixtures must be strong enough
to hold the fixture safely. Install a washer directly under the head of each fastener
when anchoring the mounting bracket to the installation surface.

Fastening the fixture to a flat surface

The fixture can be fastened to a hard, fixed, flat surface in any orientation. Ensure that the surface
and all fasteners used can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment they
will support.
Fasten the fixture securely. Do not free stand on a surface where it may 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. Use a suitable rigging clamp such as a G-clamp or a half-coupler
clamp (see illustration on right) fastened to the mounting yoke.
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. Bolt a rigging clamp securely to the mounting yoke. The bolts used must be M12, grade 8.8
steel minimum, and fastened with a self-locking nut.
4. Working from a stable platform, mount the fixture on the truss and fasten the rigging clamp
onto the truss.
5. Secure the fixture with a safety cable through the rear safety eye as shown below.
