Setup

Mounting

Before mounting the product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the

Safety Notes

.

Orientation

The Swarm 5 FX must be mounted in a position that includes planning for safe laser usage. In addition,

make sure adequate ventilation is provided around the product.

Rigging

Before deciding on a location for the product, always make sure there is easy access to the product

for maintenance and programming.

Make sure that the structure or surface onto which you are mounting the product can support the

product’s weight (see the

Technical Specifications

)

When mounting the product overhead, always use a safety cable. Mount the product securely to a

rigging point, such as an elevated platform or a truss.

When rigging the product onto a truss, use a mounting clamp of appropriate weight capacity. The

bracket has a 13-mm hole, which is appropriate for this purpose.

The bracket adjustment knobs allow for directional adjustment when aiming the product to the

desired angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs manually. Using tools could damage the

knobs.

Proper Usage

This product is for overhead mounting only. For safety purposes, Chauvet recommends mounting lighting

effect products on steady elevated platforms or sturdy overhead supports using suitable hanging clamps.

In all cases, use safety cables. Obtain appropriate mounting hardware from your lighting vendor.

illustrated below, with a minimum of 3 meters (9.8 ft) of vertical separation between the floor and

the lowest laser light. Additionally, 3 meters of horizontal separation is required between laser light

and audience or other public spaces.
