INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
SYSTEM LAYOUT GUIDELINES
Before beginning the installation, turn to page 4 of the user guide to see the
components that make up the complete system. This is the standard system,
expansions will be dealt with later in the guide.
For detailed instructions on installing each part of the system, refer to the
sections covering each module.
Start the installation by making a sketch of the site in order that cable and
fluid line runs can be optimized. Remember that you must allow for the
height of the heads as well as the distance across the floor space.
The maximum distances and heights can be found in the system
specification at the end of this guide.
When locating the heads, take account of any movement that may occur
when parts of the lighting rig move. This will require a loop of free cable and
pipe to be added into the installation. Avoid this type of installation if
possible.
Avoid locating the heads over public areas
Allow for maintenance access to all parts of the system to make fault finding
and system expansion easier.
Attempt to evaluate the way the effect will disperse in the venue before
permanently fixing the heads into position.
Route the fluid lines from the service module to the heads using smooth
bends to reduce the possibility of the pipe collapsing when forced into a tight
bend.
