Series 200 Hanging Hardware
All Series 200 luminaires and repeaters are provided with truss hooks and a safety cable.
CAUTION: The wing bolt should be tightened only by hand. Do not use wrenches or other tools as
this can damage the truss or the hook.
Single Truss Hook Variations
The Series 200 luminaires (VL2/VL4) and repeaters use the single truss hook. Multiple variations of
the hook are available to accommodate a wide variety of installation configurations.
While the hanging methods for repeaters are limited to either a one- or two-hook hang, luminaires
offer greater hanging flexibility.
Note: Refer to "Series 200 Hanging Methods" on page 61 for hook placement illustration.
The VL2C luminaire has five receptacles for connecting truss hooks.
•
Standard hooks in opposite corners are parallel.
• Standard hooks in adjacent corners are at right angles.
• A standard hook in the center receptacle is parallel to two of the corners and at a right angle to the
other two.
• A 90 degree hook is available so adjacent hooks can be parallel.
• The 45 and 135 degree hooks allow the luminaire to be hung square with the truss pipe.
The VL4 luminaire has four receptacles for connecting truss hooks. Like the VL2C luminaire, standard
hooks on opposite sides are parallel, while standard hooks on adjacent sides are at right angles.
The hook is inserted in the receptacle and turned 90 degrees clockwise to lock. To re-orient the hook
180 degrees, remove the truss hook, turn it 180 degrees around and re-insert the hook. When installing
the truss hooks, never turn the hook more than 90 degrees, as this will damage the receptacle.
