When using the safety cable ?

The lens safety cable must be used in any circumstances to protect a mounted lens in the lens holder when the projector is mounted above persons.

Configuration differences

There are two different configurations for the safety cable. The configuration used depends on the used carrying handle or hoisting eye.

• Configuration A applies when connecting the projector to the bottom carrying handle.
• Configuration B applies when connecting the projector to the top carrying handle.

Required parts

• Safety Cable (750 mm, Ø3 mm)
• Cable clamp M4
• Shackle 7x70 mm
• 4 x Cable clip (16x16 mm, Ø4 mm)

How to mount the cable

1. Paste four cable clips on the lens as illustrated (reference 1). Orient the open side of the clips towards the front of the lens.

   

   

2. Snap the first loop end of the safety cable into one of the following clips and let the loop end point downwards.

   1. Configuration A: Use the upper clip on the side of the cable bundle (reference 2, Image 4–16).
   2. Configuration B: Use the upper clip on the non-wired side (reference 2, Image 4–17).

3. Slide the rest of the cable around the lens counterclockwise. Click the cable into every clip it passes in this loop.

   

   Note: Make sure the cable passes between the lens and the cable bundle.

4. Slide the cable through the loop end at the beginning of the cable.

   

5. Install a U-bolt on the lens holder, with the open ends oriented outwards (reference 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.

How to mount the cable

1. Place the lens in the lens holder, using the lens locking mechanism.

   

   Caution: Always make sure the lens is really secured by trying to pull the lens out of the lens holder.

2. Lead the cable end with the shackle around one of the following carrying handles:

   • Configuration A: Around the bottom carrying handle.
   • Configuration B: Around the top carrying handle.
3. Snap the shackle to the straight part of the cable.

4. Secure the shackle by screwing the safety ring of the shackle over the open end.
