Use only genuine ARRI Power supply units (PSU) and
connector cables designed for the SkyPanel. The use of

flammable objects given on the type plate.
Warnings
•
Do not cover the ventilation slots of the fixture or the power
supply unit. Unobstructed airflow is required for effective
cooling.
•
Avoid direct illumination by other fixtures or other heat
sources.
To Secure the Fixture and its Accessories
•
When mounted in a hanging position or above persons, use
a suitable safety cable to prevent the SkyPanel and the
attached accessories against falling when the primary
mounting method fails.
•
The safety cable and its connecting elements must be rated
at a minimum load of 10 times the weight of the device and
all attached accessories.
•
Lead the safety cable
• Carbon fiber yoke: Around the Yoke and through the safe-
ty loop attachment (version 1 and 2), or
• Short yoke: Around the yoke and through the safety loop
attachment (version 3)
and the structure the fixture is mounted to.
•
The safety cable must be kept short.
•
Both locking pins (A) must snap in the guide holes of the
diffuser / intensifier firmly.
•
The accessories must be inserted correctly in the accessory
guiding rails of the diffuser / intensifier.
•
Attach an appropriate rated safety cable to the safety hole
in the accessory. Affix the safety cable to the rigging struc-
ture or the safety loop attachment (C) of the SkyPanel yoke.
•
Do not store the remote control in the trough when using the
fixture over head.
•
The four eyelets (5) can be used to hang the fixture horizon-
tally. Attach an appropriately rated safety cable to each eye-
let. Four safety cables are required in total. Secure the
opposite end of each safety cable with one appropriately
rated shackle to form a single hoist point.
•
Tripods must be set up in a stable way and must be rated to
carry the required load. Please observe the weight of the
accessories and the cables. Please refer also to the leaflet
„Operating your ARRI Lampheads Safely" L5.40731.E.
