Prerequisites

Make sure of the following:

• Make sure the projector is installed in the rigging frame.
• Make sure the projector is installed on the desired position.
• Make sure the desired lens is installed in the projector. In case of a UST lens that projects 90°, make sure the lens is fixated in the desired direction.

Choosing the fixation position

Tip: When deciding on which frame to mount the shutter, always make sure there is sufficient space to rotate the shutter flap 90° clockwise and/or counterclockwise.

The position of the shutter assembly will differ, depending on the chosen lens, and lens direction. Choose one of the following:

• If the lens is a straight barrel lens, mount the shutter on either the top, right or bottom frame, depending on what space is available (see following examples).

  

• If the lens bends 90° towards the left or right side of the projector, mount the shutter on the top or bottom frame of the rigging frame, with the flap towards the lens.

  

• If the lens bends 90° towards the top or bottom of the projector, mount the shutter on the right side frame of the rigging frame, with the flap towards the lens.

  

Required parts

• External shutter assembly
• Safety cable

How to fixate?

1. Fixate the external shutter on the chosen frame bar, as previously explained.

2. Use the wing nut of the shutter flap to reposition the shutter flap if necessary. Make sure that the lens is completely covered by the flap in its neutral state.

   

   Tip: If necessary, loosen the T-handles of the bracket as well and reposition the shutter as a whole.

3. Mount the safety cable onto the external shutter as follows.

   1. Loop one side of the safety cable with one of the frames of the projector rigging frame.
   2. Click the hook connected to the other side of the safety cable onto the opening on the bottom of the shutter motor (reference 1).

   

4. Connect the shutter motor to the front XLR connector of the projector.

   

   Tip: If the front XLR connector is already in use for another device (e.g. the motorized frame), use the XLR splitter delivered in this kit to connect both the shutter and the other device to this XLR connector.
