When to use the lens safety cable

The projection lens must be secured with a safety cable in any circumstance where the projector is mounted above people.

How to install

1. Check if the safety cable and its accessories are in good condition (not damaged).
2. Put the safety cable around the lens body and guide one cable end through the loop (reference 1, Image 4–4) of the other end to create a lasso.
3. Apply some cable clips (reference 2 Image 4–4) on the lens body to keep the safety cable in position.

4. Pull the lasso tight around the lens body and fixate this position with the cable clamp (reference 3).

   

   Warning: Ensure that the loop cable and the cable going through the loop are clamped together.

   

5. Attach the other end of the safety cable with the projector body, rigging frame, truss installation, or ceiling.

   

   Note: The safety cable is mounted as backup so that the drop distance is as small as possible. Keep the possible drop distance of the lens as short as possible!
