Hanging Methods: VL5 / VL6 / VLM
Standard Hang
In standard hanging applications, the VL5, VL6, and VLM luminaires utilizes a Series 300 double truss hook, which is
bolted to the pan tube and affixed to square tube or round pipe; the minimum outside dimension for a piece of pipe or
tube is 1 inch (2.54 cm) and the maximum outside dimension is 2 inches (5.08 cm).
CAUTION: Wing bolts should be tightened only by hand. Do not use wrenches or other tools as this can
damage the truss or the hook.
WARNING: A safety cable MUST be used in all hanging configurations.
Step 1. Lift luminaire into mounting position (Figure 3-12 on next page).
Step 2. Tighten truss hook wing bolts by hand. Ensure that luminaire is fully supported.
Step 3. Install safety cable as follows (referring to Figure 3-12 DETAIL A):
a. Attach one end of safety cable to pan tube.
b. Loop several times around truss or pipe, leaving as little slack as possible.
c. Attach other end of safety cable to pan tube.
Step 4. Connect input pigtail cable to Series 300 Lamp Run Cable which is connected to a Smart Repeater or
Smart Repeater Plus unit.
