CLAMP INSTALLATION
This device features mounting clamp attachment point built into the mounting bracket, as well
as a safety cable attachment point located on the fixture (see the illustration below). When
mounting the fixture to a truss or any other suspended or overhead installation, be sure to
secure an appropriately rated clamp (not included) to the clamp attachment point and attach a
separate SAFETY CABLE of the appropriate safety rating to the safety cable rigging point.
The KL Spot IP has a thicker 30mm yoke to provide greater positional stability to the fixture.
However, because of this increased thickness, the bolts usually provided for most theatrical
clamps are not long enough to provide sufficient threads to securely attach a washer and
locking nut. The clamp manufacturer may recommend appropriate bolt options.
For most trigger clamps, a bolt length of 60mm is recommended.
It is crucial to acknowledge that all decisions concerning rigging and the methods employed for
mechanically fastening the fixture to temporary or permanent structures rest with the user.
Consult a qualified structural engineer if necessary.
