Physical Installation; Fastening The Fixture To A Flat Surface; Mounting The Fixture On A Truss - Martin MAC Axiom Hybrid User Manual

Physical installation

Warning! Read 'Safety information' on page 4 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.
Fasten the fixture to a secure structure or surface. Do not stand it on a surface or
leave it where it can be moved or fall over. Always secure the fixture as directed in
this user manual using a securely anchored safety cable that will hold the fixture
if the primary fastening method fails.
Do not use the fixture to illuminate surfaces within 15 m (50 ft.) of the fixture.
Martin™ can supply rigging hardware that is suitable for use with the fixture (see 'Accessories' on
page 47).

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 and all fasteners used can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment
they will support.
Fasten the fixture securely. Always install a safety cable as directed in 'Securing with a safety cable'
below.

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 closed-type rigging clamp such as 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. The fixture is supplied with two omega-type brackets to which rigging clamps can be attached.
Check that the rigging clamps are undamaged and approved for the fixture's weight. Bolt a rigging
clamp securely to each bracket. The bolts used must be M12, grade 8.8 steel minimum, and
fastened with self-locking nuts.
4. Fasten the omega brackets to the base of the fixture using the brackets'
quarter-turn fasteners. Turn quarter-turn fasteners a full 90° to lock them (see
illustration on right).
5. Working from a stable platform, hang the fixture on the truss and fasten the
rigging clamps onto the truss.
6. Secure the fixture with a safety cable as directed below.
7. Check that the head will not collide with other fixtures or objects.
