Fasten a KNV Dot under the first Dot using a GLP Slide Connector as described in
'Fastening KNV Dots together' on page 22.
Continue adding KNV Dots as described above. Do not exceed a maximum of five
(5) KNV Dots in total for any column that is suspended using a KNV Dot Bracket. If
you want to install more than five KNV Dots in a vertical column, bear in mind that
you can install up to ten (10) KNV Dots in one column if you suspend them from a
GLP Half-Slide Connector instead of a KNV Dot Bracket (see next section).
Fasten the bottom of the column to secure anchoring points so that no point in the
column can be pushed or pulled sideways. When immobilizing the bottom of the
column in this way, do not increase the load on rigging hardware by applying
downwards tension to the column.
Flying a column of KNV Dots using a Half-Slide Connector
Warning!
You can install up to a maximum of ten (10) KNV Dots in total hanging
vertically from a GLP Half-Slide Connector in one single, independently
supported column.
A column of KNV Dot fixtures that are joined together using GLP Slide
Connectors and suspended vertically is considered to be one unit. The top
KNV Dot must be secured by a safety cable that is approved for the total
load that it secures.
Any sideways movement at the bottom of a column of KNV Dots can cause
Slide Connectors or rigging hardware to fail because of the high amount of
leverage involved. Make sure that no lateral force can be applied to the
bottom of a column of KNV Dots by immobilizing it: fasten the bottom of the
column to secure anchoring points. Do not add to the load on rigging
hardware by applying downwards tension to the column when immobilizing
it.
To suspend a single column of KNV Dots from a rigging truss using a GLP Half-Slide
Connector:
See Figure 14 on page 27. Obtain either:
a KNV Rigging Clamp 13-55/45/15, a KNV 5/8" Spigot and a GLP Half-Slide
•
Connector, or
a Half-Coupler Rigging Clamp, a GLP Half-Slide Connector and a high-tensile
•
screw or bolt to fasten the Half-Slide Connector to the Rigging clamp. All these
items must be capable of safely supporting the total weight of the column.
Obtain a safety cable that is approved for the total load that it will secure.
Fasten the GLP Half-Slide Connector to the rigging clamp using the 5/8" KNV Spigot
or screw/bolt, depending on rigging clamp type, and fasten the Half-Slide
Connector into a KNV Dot.
Fasten the Dot, Connector and Clamp assembly to the truss.
