CHAPTER 2
Setup and Configuration
Mounting the Fixture Upright
CAUTION!
Do not mount the fixture upright without the four rubber feet
attached.
To mount the fixture upright, place the fixture on a sturdy, stable non-flammable surface that
will support more than the 63.5 kg (140 lb) weight of the SHOWGUN® fixture. If the surface is
above floor height, use safety cables to secure the fixture to the surface.
Truss Mounting
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.
• Always mount the SHOWGUN® fixture using the mounting bracket assembly that shipped
with your fixture and a safety cable attached to the fixture’s base.
WARNING!
Before mounting, disconnect power to the fixture. If it has been
operating, allow the fixture to cool for five minutes before handling.
CAUTION!
Do not use C- Clamps to mount the SHOWGUN fixture to truss.
Use the following steps to mount a SHOWGUN® fixture on a standard truss:
1. Due to its size and weight, at least two people should support the fixture while another
attaches clamps and safety cables. Always stand on a firm, stable surface when mounting
the fixture to its support.
2. Tighten the clamps firmly to the fixture’s base and to the truss.
3. Run the safety cable through the loop on the fixture’s base, and around the truss.
Side Mounting and Angular Mount by Moving Truss
When side mounting a
SHOWGUN fixture, orient
the unit as show on the
right with the Display panel
up or down perpendicular
to the floor.
For fixtures in a side mount
or at an acute Angular
orientation, set the Outrig
Mode on the DMX console,
(see Control Settings on page 37).
