5. Getting Started
Choosing a Mounting Location
The VDPLDJBAR3 batten has been designed for indoor environments at temperatures up to 35°C.
For proper operation, the unit must be operated with an unobstructed air convection to its metal
housing.
Do not:
• Operate the batten in environments with an ambient temperature higher than 35°C and a relative humidity
higher than 75%.
• Operate the batten in a closed environment smaller than 10 m³ unless forced air convection is provided.
Secure Mounting
Risk of injury. Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits,
determining the installation material to be used... Have the material and the device itself checked
regularly. Do not attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper
installation may result in injuries.
• The VDPLDJBAR3 batten is designed to be mounted on a tripod with a 35 mm tube diameter. Make sure that
the diameter of the inserted tripod tube is not less than 35 mm as otherwise secure mounting cannot be
guaranteed. Slide a tripod adaptor over the tripod tube and secure the unit with the provided screw handle.
• Have the batten installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable norms.
• The carrying construction must be able to support 10 times the weight of the batten for 1 hour without
deforming.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.
• Never stand directly below the batten when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a qualified
technician check the batten once a year and once before you bring it into service.
• Install the batten in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
• Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5 m radius of the batten.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
• Connect the batten to the mains with the power plug. Do not connect it to a dimming pack.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
Connection to the AC Power Supply
The AC socket providing power to the VDPLDJBAR3 batten must be properly and separately
earthed. Do not use any other AC cords than the one provided or any other AC cord not authorized
by the manufacturer.
• Simply insert the supplied AC power cord into the power input [7] and insert the power plug into a suitable
wall outlet.
