WARNING: When the projector is suspended from a truss, a minimum of four (4) clamps must be
used to secure the projector. The clamps must be fixed to the projector frame. Use clamps and a
truss which is capable of handling five (5) times the complete load of the system).
About the reinforcement frame
A reinforcement frame has been provided to the XDX projector to make the projector more rugged and handy.
Furthermore, while the projector is not foreseen to be suspended from the ceiling, the multifunctional frame
allows the projector to be suspended from a truss. This can be done either in a upright or sideways position.
Take into account the tilt ranges of the projector when mounting the projector.
Installation requirements for projector suspension
The projector can be suspended from a truss by using the reinforcement frame. While doing so, take the
following requirements into account:
•
You can only use swivel coupler double clamps for truss beams. The number of clamps required depends
on the types of clamps used. Always make sure you use at least four clamps: two clamps at two opposed
sides of the frame.

•
Take into account the total weight of projector and frame suspended from the truss. For the XDX, the
working load limit for each clamp must be bigger than 269 kg (593 lbs).
•
The clamps can only be placed on the round profiles of the reinforcement frame. It is not allowed to mount
clamps on the rectangular brackets of the reinforcement frame.
•
Mount the clamps and safety cables on the longest bars on the upper side of the reinforcement frame (the
side facing the truss).
•
It is not allowed to suspend the projector itself, only the reinforcement frame can be suspended.
•
Single point hangers and "single point of connection" suspension cannot be used.
How to suspend from a truss
1.
Measure the distance between the two used support bars of the truss beam, using the center tube as
reference.

2.
Install the rigging clamps on the side of the projector frame that will face the truss and on the longest frame
bars. Turn the projector if necessary. Install the rigging clamps, according the measured distance and
secure this position. Ensure that the rigging points are symmetrically lined up, so that the projector will
hang in balance.
Warning:
Use a minimum of four (4) rigging points, equally spread, to suspend the projector.
Make sure the clamps are capable of handling five (5) times the complete load of the system.
