Overhead Rigging - Briteq Powermatrix 5x5 RGB Manual De Instrucciones

ENGLISH
6. ENTER Button: used to jump between different parameters of the selected option. Also confirms the
selected values of the parameters.
7. UP/DOWN Buttons: used to browse the setup menu in both directions and increase/decrease the value
of a selected parameter.
8. LCD DISPLAY: backlit 2x 16character LCD-display for easy navigation. The backlight lights up as soon
as one of the buttons is pressed. Shows the model + software version at startup.
9. MIC: used to trigger the programs in music mode.
10. FIRMWARE UPDATE connector: although this is a mini-USB-connector, the communication is NOT
USB! So DO NOT connect it to a USB-port on your PC. A special tool for the upgrade is needed. On
some projectors this connector is not available: upgrading is done through the DMX input: see
instructions on our website.
11. COOLING FANS: during its operation the projector produces heat that must be dissipated. The fans
inside the projector must be able to evacuate the heat in the most effective way. Therefore is it very
important not to cover any of the ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
12. BRACKET: multifunctional and very stable design for both floor and truss mounting. The projector can be
pointed in any direction.
13. COFFIN LOCKS: these "coffin lock" mechanisms make it extremely easy and fast to build large matrix
arrays in no time. Also the optional hanging bracket (order code: 4407) can be fixed in no time.
14. TELESCOPIC GUIDE: needed to make sure that all projectors in an array are perfectly aligned.
15. CARRYING HANDLES: on top of the projector there are 2 folding carrying handles to easily transport the
projector or insert/remove it from its flight case.
16. SAFETY EYEBOLT: used to attach a safety cable when the unit is rigged (see "overhead rigging"

OVERHEAD RIGGING

 Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper
installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires
extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials
should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.
 Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during
rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
 Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials
and/or liquids. The fixture must be fixed at least 50cm from surrounding walls.
 The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where
persons may walk by or be seated.
 Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of
10times the device's weight.
 Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device
when installing the unit. This secondary safety attachment should be installed in
a way that no part of the installation can drop more than 20cm if the main
attachment fails.
 The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may
not be considered!
 Don't cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
 The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical
installations are approved by an expert before using them for the first time. The
installations should be inspected every year by a skilled person to be sure that
safety is still optimal.
RIGGING WITH INCLUDED U-BRACKET:
 The included U-bracket can be used to place the projector on the floor and point
it in a desired direction. In this case a proper and stable base should be added!
 The included U-bracket can also be used to hang the projector in truss and point
it in the desired direction:
 Fix 2 suitable truss clamps to the holes in the U-bracket. Make sure that
both clamps are firmly fixed to the bracket!
 Fix 1 or 2 suitable safety cable(s) to the safety eyes (16) to make sure the
projector cannot drop more than 20cm if the U-bracket or clamps fail.
 Point the projector in the desired direction.
