  • Page 7 4.1.1 Installation of Single Track (with Fixed Plate) 4.1.1 Installation of Single Track (with Fixed Plate) A: This distance is self-determined according to the actual situation (This distance must be equal for all tracks before being installed on the truss. After installation, it is used to fine-tune the position of the flange nut so that each track is flat).

  • Page 9 4.1.1 Installation of Single Track (with Fixed Plate) Install two fixed plates and corresponding nuts, and adjust the spacing at J of all tracks to the same according to the actual situation. Temporarily fix the track with two fixed plates under the truss with straps, avoid obstacles, adjust the position, and install the third fixed plate at X to fix it with a nut (not tighten).
  • Page 10 4.1.2 Installation of Single Track (with Fixed Plate + Clamp) 4.1.2 Installation of Single Track (with Fixed Plate + Clamp) (This solution is limited by the clamp. The track needs to be hung on two pipes at the same time, so it is easier to disassemble or hang up by using the clamp which is turned up and down like the one shown in the figure, and the diameter of the matched truss pipe must meet the inner diameter of the clamp: φ50) A: This distance is self-determined according to the actual situation (This distance must be...

  • Page 12 4.1.2 Installation of Single Track (with Fixed Plate + Clamp) Install two fixed plates and corresponding nuts, and adjust the spacing at J of all tracks to the same according to the actual situation. In this program, the nuts at Y should not be tightened, so that the components are convenient to move when the clamps are hung, which can avoid the interference between the clamps and the truss.
  • Page 13 4.1.3 Ways to Splice Multiple Tracks 4.1.3 Ways to Splice Multiple Tracks Parts and quantity required for splicing each track of this program: Parts Quantity M10 self-locking nut Included in the Track connecting plate track package Upper connecting plate CM8*16 After each track is fixed to the truss (not tighten at X), insert two upper connecting plates at E, loosen the screws at F, and push out the lower connecting plate.
  • Page 14 4.1.3 Ways to Splice Multiple Tracks Install the track connecting plate and fix the upper end of the track with four M10 nuts at H. Connect the A and B signal wires red-to-red and white-to-white and connect the male and female plugs of the power supply.
  • Page 15 4.2 Ways to Splice Multiple Tracks (with Truss) 4.2 Ways to Splice Multiple Tracks (with Truss) Factory state Note: Due to the gap error between the tracks and the trusses, the tracks need to be numbered when they are used for the first time in order to be spliced quickly afterwards. There are a total of six butt joints on one side at K.
  • Page 16 4.2 Ways to Splice Multiple Tracks (with Truss) Half loosen the screws connecting the truss to the track at A before splicing so that the tracks are loosened slightly. Tighten the dowel connecting the truss at P and insert the R-shaped bolt. Push the two tracks to the splicing direction until there is no gap after the two tracks are spliced, and then tighten the nine inner-hexagon screws at Q.
  • Page 17 4.2 Ways to Splice Multiple Tracks (with Truss) To ensure that the SKY TRAM can pass on the track smoothly and does not affect the effect of the load, after the tracks are spliced, it is necessary to connect a rack to the tracks to check whether there is any abnormality in the splicing position, such as misalignment and improper butt joints.
  • Page 18 4.2 Ways to Splice Multiple Tracks (with Truss) Tighten all screws at S and T. After locking all the screws at the track splicing position, tighten all the screws at B to secure the track to the truss. After that, number the two ends of the tracks so that you can use the number as a positioning for quick splicing next time.
  • Page 19 4.2 Ways to Splice Multiple Tracks (with Truss) Tie some tie-lashing strips on the truss and then buckle them to the electric hoist. Install a SKY TRAM to push it manually to check whether it can smoothly pass through the entire track installed.
  • Page 20 4.3 Precautions for SKY TRAM Installation 4.3 Precautions for SKY TRAM Installation 1. Install a SKY TRAM to push it manually to check whether it can smoothly pass through the entire track installed. If there is no abnormality, install all the SKY TRAMs. Do pay attention to the installation direction.
  • Page 21 4.3 Precautions for SKY TRAM Installation Install the right brake assembly by using the protrusion(A) or the power/DMX input plug(B) as the reference to distinguish the direction and install the left brake assembly by using the protrusion(C) or the power/DMX output plug(D) as the reference to distinguish the direction. 3.

  • Page 23 4.3 Precautions for SKY TRAM Installation 5. Since the distance between the truss and the button of the SKY TRAM is 81mm, if the load underneath uses a clamp with a knob like the one shown in Figure 1, the knob may hit the button of the SKY TRAM when it is turned up, and the installation may not be possible.
  • Page 24 05/ DMX512 Connection 1. At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120-ohm 1/4W resistor between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last unit. 2.
  • Page 25 06/ Fixture Cleaning and Maintenance To ensure the safety and the service life of the track, please clean and inspect as follows regularly and before each use: * The track must be checked by a qualified operator on a regular basis. * Clean the dust on the track surface.
