Safety Cable
High End Systems strongly recommends that you use safety cable
when mounting any fixture. You must supply your own safety cable
and verify the cable is capable of supporting the weight of the
Trackspot fixture. You can order galvanized safety cables from your
High End Systems dealer/distributor (see “Optional Accessories” on
page Intro-6).
Clamp
You must supply your own clamp(s) and verify the clamp is capable of
supporting the weight of the Trackspot fixture. You can order deluxe
C-clamps for a two-inch truss from your High End Systems dealer/
distributor (see “Optional Accessories” on page Intro-6).
Caution: Make sure the fixture cannot be rotated 360°.
(Using two clamps is a good way to make sure
the fixture cannot be rotated in a full circle.)
Allowing the fixture to rotate 360° could
loosen the clamp mounting bolts and cause
the fixture to fall from its clamp.
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.
Suggested mounting procedure:
1. Unplug the fixture. If the fixture has been operating, allow the
fixture to cool for at least 5 minutes.
2. Use two people to mount each Trackspot fixture: one person to
hold the fixture while it is being secured in place, and one person
to the secure the fixture to its support and attach safety cables.
3. Always stand on a firm, stable surface when mounting a fixture to
its support. The fixture should be at a height where you can
comfortably work on it, and should either be resting on a stable
surface, or held in a stable manner. Do not allow one person to
both support and mount the fixture.
4. Attach suitable clamp(s) through the holes on top of the yoke. If
you are attaching one clamp, use the middle hole on the yoke. If
you are attaching two clamps (as shown in Figure 2-3), attach one
clamp to each of the two outer holes on the yoke. Use locking
washers when attaching the clamp(s) to the yoke.
