Fixture location

The ERA 300 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 3.
• Do not locate the fixture in an unventilated space.

Mounting the fixture

Warning! All fasteners used to mount ERA 300 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 or stand it securely on a level surface. 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 clamps such as a G-clamp or a half-
coupler clamp (see illustration on right) fastened to the included omega
brackets.
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 a pair of omega-type brackets to which rigging
clamps can be attached. Bolt a rigging clamp securely to each bracket. The
bolts used must be M12, grade 8.8 steel minimum, and fastened with a
self-locking nut.
