The school district installed a set of smoke beam detectors off the side of the high loading gallery at my sister theater. They are both VERY close to the travel path of a batten. If it's loaded causing the batten to shift or sway a little as it go up, it could easily trip the beam detector and set off the fire alarms. In my theater I have some linesets that come up under catwalks and therefore the arbor has to be stopped in a different location than the rest of the rail. These arbors have these individually located bottom stops that prevent the arbor from traveling all the way to the bottom beyond the correct stopping point.
Is it possible for me to buy these retrofit bottom stops and install them myself to prevent my friend's battens from traveling into the path of the beam detectors? What are they called? Where do I get them? Thanks!
