the fixture (without the hanging bracket)
Multiple fixtures may be interlocked together using the slide-in Interlock Coupler. A
maximum of 16 fixtures may be interlocked in a column. When interlocking fixtures
horizontally, a rigging clamp must be used every 3
maximum of 2 unsupported fixtures between each supported one)
A Pivot Interlock Coupler is available which couples fixtures at any multiple of 15 degrees.
This allows circles or other shapes of fixtures to be created.
An Interlock Adaptor is available which attaches to one of the interlock slots enabling you
to mount a single VDO Atomic Dot on a microphone stand with standard 5/8 in. thread.
Safety bonds must be fitted to each fixture, even when fixtures are interlocked, using the
safety bond attachment point on the rear.
