Securing the lamphead and the accessories
 When mounting the fi xture in a hanging position, additionally secure the fi xture with a safety cable from the mounting pipe or
truss through the fi xture stirrup. The safety cable must be properly dimensioned for the fi xture and application and must be
kept short.
 The carrying capacity of the safety rope must be rated at a minimum of 10 times the weight of the lamphead system including
accessories.
 Be aware of the maximum allowed tilt angle of 90° up and 90° down.
 When the lamphead is operated in a hanging position, ensure that the accessories are installed correctly: top latch (11) locked,
optional barndoor safety catch (12) snapped in.
 Stands must be set up in a stable position and capable of carrying the load of the lamphead including accessories and cables!
Also refer to our safety leafl et "Operating Your ARRI Lampheads Safely"; L5.40731.E.
CAUTION! Lateral load can cause deformation or breaking of the spigot (8) or the stirrup (9)!
3. Setting up and securing the fi xture
 Tools needed
Torx screwdriver no. 20
Torque wrench / Allen key no. 10 (50 Nm)
 Adjusting the stirrup
On delivery the stirrup (9) is in the basic position, which means it is tilted to the back.
Use the Torx screwdriver no. 20 to slightly loosen the screws on both sides of the stirrup bracket (15) and pull the stirrup
bracket towards the rear of the lamphead. The lever of the tilt lock (10) has to be loosened, so that you can tilt the stirrup (9)
upwards.
In order to position the stirrup at the ideal balance point move it to a position halfway in-between the front and rear of the
lamphead housing. Then tighten the screws at the stirrup bracket (15) again. Now tilt the stirrup to the desired angle and
tighten the tilt lock lever. For better leverage, press the knob on the tilt lock lever (17) and turn the lever to the desired
position.
 Mounting the spigot
Place the spigot (8) and the spacer onto the boring in the stirrup (9), insert the screw with washer and spring washer from
below and fasten it with the torque wrench to 50 Nm = 37 lbf ft (pound force feet).
 Installation of the PC software
Download the latest LSeries Manager version from the internet (download center: http://www.arri.com/l-series/downloads).
Be aware that the installation can only be performed, if you have administrative rights. If your user profi le does not grant
administrative rights you have to let the installation fi le (.exe) run as follows:
Right-click on the fi le „start as administrator“.
Start the program by double-clicking on the generated shortcut.
After the installation is completed you can connect your lamphead via USB cable to your computer. The LSeries Manager
automatically detects the connected lampheads. Make sure that no other DMX program is communicating with the lamphead.
You can operate one lamphead with any one USB port.
Tip: After the installation is complete, we recommend connecting the lamphead before you start the LSeries Manager for the
fi rst time. Doing this will complete the driver installation and prevent a possible connection time-out.
Note: Wait with connecting your lamphead to the computer until the installation of the LSeries Manager is complete. The LSeries
Manager allows you to operate several L7 lampheads and also update them simultaneously.
