other models should be used with a safety net.

3. Installation
• Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable
norms.
• The construction to which the device is attached should be able to support 10 times the weight of
the device for one hour without deformation. The installation area should be able to hold a
minimum point load of 30 kg.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable or safety
net.
• Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
• Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, determining the
installation material to be used… Do not attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these
qualifications as improper installation may result in injuries. Never stand directly below the device
when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a qualified technician check the device once
a year and once before you bring it into service.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
• The disco cylinder has to be properly attached to the motor. We recommend using safety chain
(VDLSC7 or VDLSC8).
• The safety cable or net should be installed in such a way that no part of the installation can fall
down if the main attachment fails and that it can hold at least 12 times the weight of the
installation for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
• Make sure the mirror ball is never slowed down or stopped by decoration material etc. Make sure
no side forces can impact on the installation.
