Vertical suspension from a rigging structure

You can install the FS16Z hanging vertically downwards from a rigging structure if you
use the FS16Z Hanging Adaptor (optional accessory), which fixes into the locking
channels at the ends of the fixture.
Using the end channels and locking pins, you can suspend FS16Z fixtures from each
other in an interconnected vertical chain to give an unbroken line of pixels.
For hanging one fixture or a chain of two fixtures, you may use rigging clamps.
Otherwise you should use a pair of M10 or M12 rigging eyelets with suitably rated
cables, to hang up to six fixtures. This allows for the higher loading and gives some
flexibility for movement of the fixture column, which would damage or break rigging
clamps.
Please see the next section 'Suspending multiple fixtures vertically' and refer to the
safety information below.
Vertical hanging safety information
Warning! You can use locking pins and channels in fixtures to support
weight only when fixtures are fastened together in a vertical chain – do not
use them to support the weight of a fixture at any other angle than hanging
vertically downwards.
Warning! When using the Hanging Adaptor with rigging clamps, do not link
more than two (2) fixtures to each other in one suspended vertical chain.
When suspended using cables and rigging eyelets, up to six (6) fixtures may
be linked and suspended in a vertical chain.
Warning! Any lateral force applied to the bottom of a suspended column of
FS16Z fixtures can apply leveraged force to the suspension hardware and
cause it to fail. This will cause the column to fall resulting in death, serious
injury or damage.
Always lock the bottom of the column in place with cables or other
hardware so that it is impossible for any pressure applied by wind, persons,
vibration, etc. to move the bottom of the column.
