● Installation must be performed by qualified personnel only and carried out in
accordance with applicable regulations such as DIN VDE 0711-217.
● The fixture is not portable when installed.
● Ensure that the supporting structure and installation hardware used can hold at
least ten times the weight of the load that they support. All rigging hardware
must be approved for the weight of the fixture.
● Fasten the fixture to a structure or surface only as directed in this manual and
only with hardware that is specifically designed, approved and rated for its
purpose. Do not use a safety cable as the primary means of support.
● You may use an omega bracket with rigging clamp – or a rigging clamp without
an omega bracket – fastened directly to the fixture's baseplate when installing the
fixture hanging vertically only.
● When installing the fixture in any other orientation, you must first fasten an GLP
impression X5 Omega Bracket with Handles accessory from GLP (not supplied) to
the fixture's baseplate, then fasten two rigging clamps to this Omega Bracket
accessory to balance the weight of the fixture and to avoid danger of bending.
● Check that installation hardware is in perfect condition. Fasteners must be steel
grade 8.8 strength or better. Nuts must be self-locking type and in good
condition. Rigging clamps must be half-coupler type that completely encircle the
rigging truss chord.
● If you fasten an M10 bolt into the fixture's baseplate to use when rigging the
fixture, the bolt must protrude minimum 10 mm and maximum 15 mm into the
mini-base.
● Allow a minimum center-to-center distance of 465 mm / 18.3 in. between fixtures
when installed.
● If the fixture is installed in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls,
install as directed in this manual a safety cable or similar secondary attachment
that will hold the fixture if a primary attachment fails. The secondary attachment
must be approved by an official body such as TÜV as a safety attachment for the
weight that it secures, it must comply with EN 60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6, and it
must be able to support a static suspended load that is ten times the weight that
it secures.
● If the fixture is installed in a location where it may be exposed to forces such as
wind pressure, vibration or movement, make sure that the installation can
withstand these forces. Monitor weather forecasts constantly. Take down the
installation immediately if there is any risk of weather conditions that could
destabilize the installation.
● Check that all covers and items of rigging hardware are secure before using the
fixture. Do not operate the fixture with missing or damaged covers, shields or any
optical component.
● Restrict access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever
installing, servicing or moving the fixture.
● If the fixture becomes damaged, stop using it immediately and disconnect it from
power. Do not attempt to use a fixture that is obviously damaged.
