Overhead installation
Danger of life!
You have to observe the regulations of BGV C1 (formerly VBG 70) and
EN60598-2-17 Installations are to carry out by skilled personnel only.
The suspension devices have to be build and measured so they can withstand for an hour the tenfold
of the payload without suffering a permanent detrimental deformation.
Basically installation has to be made by using a second separate suspension. This can be e.g. a
suitable net. The second suspension has to be designed and attached so no part of the installation
can fall down in case of failure.
During construction, reconstruction and deconstruction unnecessary stay in the range of moving
areas, on lightning bridges, under elevated work stations or any other danger zones is forbidden.
The operator is obliged to following safety-related and mechanical facilities:
- Before the first start-up or after critical changes before restarting it has to be checked by an
expert.
- Review in the frame of the inspection test at least all four years by an expert. .
- Review by a qualified person at least once a year.
How to carry out the overhead installation:
If possible you should install the device out of the areas where people could stay.
IMPORTANT! Overhead installation requires a high level of experience. This includes knowledge of
calculating the payload, used installation material and safety inspections of the used material and the
projector whereas the required experience is not limited to this. Do not try to carry out installation
yourself under any circumstances if you are not qualified. Contact a professional installer. An
inappropriate installation can lead to injuries and/or damaged properties.
It is not allowed to install the device in the grip area of people.
If the device may hang from the ceiling or from high beams, the use of truss systems is mandatory.
The device may not be installed so it can swing freely in the room.
Please note: Crashing down items can cause serious injuries! Do not install the projector, if you doubt
the safety of a possible installation form!
Before installation make sure that the mounting surface has the ability to carry the tenfold point load of
the own weight of the device.
Mount the device with the mounting-bracket to your trussing system using an appropriate clamp.
During overhead installation the device always must be secured by a safety rope which is designed to
hold the twelvefold weight of the device. Only safety ropes with quick-release safety fastener elements
may be used. Hang up the safety rope in the hole of the mounting bracket. Direct the rope over the
truss or an appropriate fastening point. Hang up the end in the fastening element and tie up the
locking nut. A safety rope once exposed to failing load or damaged may not be used furthermore.
The maximum drop distance must not exceed 20cm.
A safety rope once exposed to failing load or damaged may not be used furthermore.
Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the screw.
