143 Switcher-I® Curtain Track Switch
Standard switching devices (for two-way direction) represent a major development in the effort toward more versatile stage and studio settings. Simply by pulling down on a pendant, the track channel is shifted and the curtain is then moved to the switched channel. The mechanism is operated by a spring loaded lever locking the switched channel into place. In this fashion the scenic contour is quickly and effectively converted to the desired setting. With this flexible switching arrangement stage depths are easily increased or decreased and facilities for curtain storage are made available.
Designed for use with all ADC "walk-along" cyclorama tracks.
Switches must be rigidly mounted in all instances. The device is easily installed and merely involves conventional splicing of the track channel to the permanent track sections incorporated as component parts of the switch which is furnished for either lefthand or right-hand operation (must be specified when ordering).
No. PP-1 Positioning Pole is used to move the two-way switch to another position by simply engaging the pendant and pulling down.
The positioning pole is 8'6" long and can be extended to 16' (To be purchased separately)
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Standard devices are designed for switching to either left-hand or right-hand from center.
- Switching direction must be specified when ordering. Left and right-hand designation is determined from a plan view perspective. Switching mechanism is for manual operation of "walk-along" I-Beam tracks of ADC manufacture only.
- Device can be installed at any location desired. Switches cannot be used with flush-mounted tracks unless a recess is provided in the ceiling to accommodate the mechanism.
- Device must be rigidly mounted and care must be taken not to bend the mounting plate or slide it out of alignment. It can be mounted directly to a suitable base if "L" type brackets are used on both the switch and the track channel along with standard track hanging clamps.
It can also be hung from pipe batten, but it must be securely bridled.
