Mounting the Fixture Upright
Caution: Do not mount the fixture upright without the four rubber feet.
To mount the fixture upright, make sure that all four rubber feet are installed on the
fixture’s base and place the fixture on a sturdy, stable surface that will support more
than the 39 kg (85 lb) weight of the DL.1 fixture. If the surface is above floor height,
use safety cables to secure the fixture to the surface.
You can optionally lock the DL.1’s pan and tilt positions if desired, (see Figure 2-9 on
page 2-12).
Note: The minimum focusable distance for the DL.1 fixture is 1.4 meters. Placing
the DL.1 closer than 1.4 meters to any object won’t allow it to focus
properly.
Truss Mounting
Verifying the Truss Support
When mounting the fixture on a truss or another type of support, verify the truss or
support will handle the combined weight of all the devices on the truss.
Verify that fixture clamps used are capable of supporting the weight of the fixture.
Cheeseborough clamps for a two-inch truss are available from your High End
Systems dealer/distributor (see “Optional Accessories” on page 1-2).
Note: Due to the wide variety of possible lighting designs, High End Systems
cannot make specific mounting recommendations. Consider the following
procedure as a suggested guideline only.
You will need:
• safety cables (1)
• cheeseborough clamps (2)
• locking washers (2)
Clamps
Always mount the DL.1 fixture with the cheeseborough clamps that shipped with
your fixture and a safety cable attached (using the mounting bracket) to the fixture’s
base, shown in Figure 2-3. Do not use C- Clamps to mount the DL.1 fixture. You can
remove the mounting clamps for floor applications.
Caution: Do not store loose clamps in the bottom of the road case, as they
may cause damage to the unit head and output window.
