MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION Caution: For added protection mount the fixtures in areas outside of walking paths, seating areas, or areas were the fixture might be reached by unauthorized personal. Before mounting the fixture to any surface, make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device’s weight. Fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an appropriate safety cable.
Design LED 36MH™ Mounting points Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including amongst others calculating working load limits, a fine knowledge of the installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury. CAUTION! Be sure all electrical connections are performed by a qualified electrician.
Design LED 36MH™ Clamp Mounting The Design LED 36MH™ provides a unique mounting bracket assembly that integrates the hanging yoke as well as the safety cable rigging point in one unit (see the illustration on next page). When mounting this fixture to truss be sure to secure an appropriately rated clamp to the hanging yoke using a M10 screw fitted through the center hole of the hanging yoke.
Design LED 36MH™ 7. UNDERSTADING DMX Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave Operation): Your fixture and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output (see figure below). Be sure to only use properly rated DMX cables for DMX operation and not standrd audio cables.
Design LED 36MH™ DMX-512 control connection Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head (Please refer to the diagram on the previous page). You can link multiple DMX fixtures together through DMX cables as illustrated on the previous page.
Design LED 36MH™ line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores.
