Installing upright on a horizontal surface

To install the fixture standing upright on a stable
horizontal surface only:
See Figure 3. Two camlock quarter-turn fastener
points are provided in the baseplate. Line up the
camlock pins in the supplied X5 Tripod floor stand
with the camlock fastener points in the baseplate,
then insert the pins fully and turn their handles 90°
clockwise to lock.
See Figure 4. Slots are provided in the X5 Tripod. To
eliminate any risk that the fixture may fall over during
sudden head movements, immobilize it with a ratchet
strap or straps passed through the slots and fastened
to suitable anchoring points. Remove any slack from
ratchet straps, but do not overtighten them.
Make sure that the head will not collide with another
fixture or any other object when it moves through its full pan and tilt ranges.

Mounting at other angles than hanging vertically

To mount the X5 on a rigging truss at any other angle than with the head hanging
vertically downwards, you must use the X5 Omega Bracket with Handles mounting
plate that is available as an accessory from GLP (see Figure 5).
To install the X5 using the X5 Omega Bracket with Handles:
Install two suitable half-coupler type rigging clamps on the Omega Bracket (half-
coupler rigging clamps completely encircle the truss chord).
Fasten the Omega Bracket to the fixture's baseplate by inserting the Omega
Bracket's camlock fasteners into the fastener receptacles in the fixture's base and
turning the fastener handles a full 90° to lock them.
Fasten the half-coupler rigging clamps securely around a truss chord.
Secure the fixture against clamp failure as described in 'Securing the fixture with
a safety cable' on page 15. Fasten the safety cable to one of the attachment points
in the fixture base, not to the Omega Bracket.
