6. Getting started
Choosing a Mounting Location
The VDPLDJBAR4 batten has been designed for indoor environments at temperatures up to
35°C. For proper operation, the unit must be operated with an unobstructed air convection to its
metal housing.
Do not:
• Operate the batten in environments with an ambient temperature higher than 35°C and a relative
humidity higher than 75%.
• Operate the batten in a closed environment smaller than 10 m³ unless forced air convection is
provided.
Secure Mounting
Risk of injury. Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits,
determining the installation material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked
regularly. Do not attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as
improper installation may result in injuries.
• The VDPLDJBAR4 batten is designed to be mounted on a tripod with a 35 mm tube diameter. Make
sure that the diameter of the inserted tripod tube is not less than 35 mm as otherwise secure
mounting cannot be guaranteed. Slide the VDPLDJBAR4 over a suitable tripod (not incl.) and secure
it tightly by turning the knob [8] clockwise.
• Have the batten installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable
norms.
• The carrying construction must be able to support 10 times the weight of the batten for 1 hour
without deforming.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.
• Never stand directly below the batten when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a
qualified technician check the batten once a year and once before you bring it into service.
• Install the batten in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
• Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5 m radius of the batten.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
• Connect the batten to the mains with the power plug. Make sure the used mains circuit is protected
by a 30mA Residual Current Device (RCD). Do not connect it to a dimming pack.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
DMX-512 connection
Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.
•
When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of a controller (not incl.) and
the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input [3] of the VDPLDJBAR4. Multiple VDPLDJBAR4’s can be
linked through serial linking. The linking cable should be a dual core, screened cable with XLR input
and output connectors.
