Suspending Fixtures Vertically In A Two-Meter Column - GLP JDC Line 500 Quick Start And Safety Manual

German Light Products®

Suspending fixtures vertically in a two-meter column

Warning! Use Alignment Brackets to support weight only when fixtures are
fastened together and suspended in a vertical column maximum two (2)
meters high. Do not use Alignment Brackets to support the weight of a
fixture at any other angle than hanging vertically downwards. Do not
create a vertical column that contains more than:
• four (4) JDC Line 500 fixtures,
• two (2) JDC 1000 fixtures, or
• two (2) JDC Line 500 fixtures and one JDC Line 1000 fixture.
Warning! Use only an eyebolt to support the column. Do not use a rigging
clamp, as any lateral movement at the bottom of the column can apply
leveraged forces and cause this arrangement to fail.
To suspend JDC Line fixtures in a vertical column:
Fasten the fixtures together as described in 'Installing Alignment Brackets' on page
15.
Hold the fixtures in a vertical column up to the rigging truss and suspend the top
fixture as described in 'Vertical suspension from a rigging structure' on page 17.
Secure the fixtures with a safety cable as described in 'Installing a safety cable' on
page 13 if there is any risk that the arrangement will cause injury or damage if it
falls.
