On Stand:
The recommended Lowel Stand
for the light is the Uni-66 stand
(UN-66) or larger. Set the stand
risers at less than full extension,
for most stable operation, and if
tilting the light down, make sure
1 leg of the stand is extended
straight out in front of the light
for best balance.
Prime Locations' yoke is placed off
center vertically in the unit. This is
to allow a more full tilting range.
Make sure to tighten the side
locking knob fully to prevent
slippage.
Mounting the Fixture Fuses & Power Consumption
Female 5/8"
Stand-fitting:
For use on stand only. Allows
mounting the fixture on 5/8" male
stand stud. Stand fitting comes with
a locking washer and a flat washer.
Mount with the locking washer
above the flat washer on the top
side of the yoke, under the bolt
head. Attach the female stand-fitting
tightly and rotate yoke so it is now
on the underside of the fixture.
Tighten yoke, clamp locking lever,
and place female stand-fitting over
stand, making sure that its locking
screw is loosened enough to allow
the fitting to completely fit over the
5/8" stand stud. Tighten knob, mak-
ing sure its screw is under the safe-
ty cut of the stand fitting stud. Add
additional weight to base of stand
for increased stability.
On Lighting Rail:
Due to the shortened yoke on Prime
Location LED, when hanging the
fixture from rail or pipe, fixture
should be positioned upside down
(see photo). If using with gel frame
or any other front light controls
installed, be sure that top corner
accessory guide lock on the fixture
is fully engaged. Attach clamp
tightly to yoke of fixture, according
to clamp mfrs. instructions. Hang
clamp on pipe or grid and tighten
the large screw so that the clamp
and fixture are securely mounted.
Attach safety cable between the
fixture and the rail for necessary
security.
