Mounting the fixture on a truss using direct clamp
The VDO Atomic Dot Half Coupler may be directly mounted to the fixture or array of fixtures using
one of the interlock slots on any side.
To rig using a directly attached clamp:
1. Check that the rigging structure can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and
equipment to be installed on it.
2. Block access under the work area.
3. Slide VDO Atomic Dot Half Couplers into the fixture interlock slot on one or more fixtures as
required.
4. Working from a stable platform, lift the fixture(s) to the truss and fasten the half coupler clamp
onto the truss.
5. Attach a safety bond to the fixture and loop around a fixed point. Each fixture must have an
individual safety bond even when interlocked into an array.
Interlocking multiple fixtures
Multiple fixtures may be interlocked on any side using the slide-in interlock coupler to form arrays
of any shape.
