When to use the safety cable

While it is strongly recommended to use the specifically designed mounting support for this lens in combination with this lens, it is not mandatory.

When mounting the UST lens in a projector without using the mounting support (not recommended), it is mandatory to use the safety cable set provided by Barco instead. Failing to use either the correct type of safety cable or the mounting support may damage the lens and/or projector, and can also cause serious injury to persons.

How to prepare the lens with the safety cable

1. Stick 3 to 4 clips on the surface of the lens body (1).

2. Snap the first loop end of the safety cable into one of the clips.

   

3. Slide the rest of the cable around the lens. Click the cable into every clip it passes in the loop.
4. Slide the cable through the loop end at the beginning of the cable (2).
5. Install an U-bolt on the lens holder with the open ends oriented outwards (3). Make sure that both a part of the loop end and the outgoing part of the safety cable are placed in the enclosure.

6. Close the U-bolt and tighten it.

   

   Note: Make sure the safety cable is tightened around the lens before tightening the U-bolt nuts.
7. Place the shackle through the free loop end of the safety cable.
8. Mount the lens in the projector.
9. Secure the safety cable around the truss and secure the shackle by turning the safety ring of the shackle over the open end.
