Overhead installation

Danger!

During installation please follow the regulations of the BGV C1 (former VBG 70)

and EN 60598-2-17! Installation may only be carried out by authorized

specialized trade.

AIR BASE 850 MK2’s suspension devices have to be build and measured so they can withstand for

an hour the tenfold of the payload without suffering a permanent detrimental deformation.

Basically the installation has to be made by using a second separate suspension. This can be e.g. a

suitable net. The second suspension must be designed and attached so no part of the installation can

fall down in case of failure of the main suspension.

During construction, reconstruction and deconstruction unnecessary stay in the range of moving

areas, on lightning bridges, under elevated work stations or any other danger zones is forbidden.

The entrepreneur is responsible for getting experts to review safety-related and mechanical facilities

before initial start-up or after crucial changes before restarting.

the limits of an acceptance inspection at least every four years.

The entrepreneur is obliged to get an expert to check safety-related and mechanical facilities at least

once a year.

How to precede the overhead installation:

The device is ideally installed beyond public areas.

IMPORTANT! Overhead installation requires a high level of experience. This includes knowledge of

calculating the payload, used installation material and safety inspections of the used installation

material and the projector whereas the required experience is not limited to this. Do not try to carry out

installation yourself under any circumstances if you are not qualified. Contact a professional installer.

An inappropriate installation can lead to injuries and/or damaged properties.

The device may not be installed within the reach of persons.

If the device is supposed to hang from a ceiling or from high beams, the use of truss systems is

mandatory. The device must be installed that it’s not possible it can swing in the room.

Attention! Crashing down devices can cause serious injuries! DON’T install the projector, if you doubt

the safety of a possible installation form.

Before installing the device ensure that the installation space supports at least the tenfold point

loading of the device’s deadweight.

Mount the projector with the mounting bracket on an appropriate hook of a truss system.
