When to use the lens safety cable

The lens safety cable must be used in any circumstance where the projector is mounted above people. Do this to secure the mounted lens in the lens holder.

Note: For the content of the kit, see “Installing the lens safety cable”.

How to install the lens safety cable on the UST lens

1. Ensure that the safety cable and its accessories are in good condition (not damaged).

2. Stick three to four clips(reference 1) on the surface of the lens body.

   

3. Nap the first loop end of the safety cable into one of the clips.
4. Slide the rest of the cable around the lens. Click the cable into every clip it passes in the loop.
5. Slide the cable through the loop end at the beginning of the cable (reference 2, Image 5–32).
6. Mount a U-bolt on the lens holder with the open ends oriented outwards (reference 3, Image 5–32). Make sure that both a part of the loop end and the outgoing part of the safety cable are placed in the enclosure.
7. Close the U-bolt and tighten it.
8. Place the shackle through the free loop end of the safety cable.
9. Secure the safety cable around the rigging frame (or around the truss beam if no frame is used). Secure the shackle by turning the safety ring of the shackle over the open end.
