ASSEMBLING AN ARRAY

Transporting the cabinets

To facilitate transport, the

units are

equipped with a

front dolly panel attached

by means of the rigging hardware. The front dolly
panel is useful when rigging systems. The

units can be moved by way of the

front dolly panel attached by means of the

rigging hardware or by way of the

a dolly

for vertically stacking (up to 3 units). The
units can be moved by way of the

. Also

an accessory,

(caster kit), is available

Planning/inspection

Assembling an array “one by one”

Once this is accomplished, the

AX-AERO50

structure is set in it's vertical position, taking into
consideration the position of the safety pins. Using
the Ease Focus simulation software will provide the
points that should be used for the required angle
(see ‘1’ and ‘2’ below).

AX-AERO50

The next step is to attach the first unit to the

by introducing the G1A50 and G2A48

guides in the receiving points of the rigging
structure and assuring them with the six safety
pins. The safety pins should be inserted in the slot
of the G2A48. It is very important to make sure
that the pins have been inserted and locked
correctly.

When few units are to be used (minimum

systems recommended is 6 units) or when the
dolly platforms cannot be used due to a lack of
space, the enclosures will have to be hung “one by
one”. The first step will to attach the

grid structure to the hoists. The chain slings need
to be attached to the structure using the shackles
provided with the grid.

AX-AERO50

Once the first unit of the array has been

attached to the

AX-AERO50, the assembly should

be lifted by way of the hoist until the wheels of the
PL-50 dolly platform lift off the ground. From this
point on, the hoist can be used to lift the box into
a horizontal position.

Before installing the system it is a good idea to

run a simulation with the

Ease Focus program

utilizing the venue dimensions. This way we can
determine the needs that should be met by the
rigging structures such as hoists, cranes, beams,
rigging points, etc. Besides providing weight
information, the program also provides users with
splay angle information, safety pin positions and
coverage predictions.

It is extremely important to assure that each

and every one of the aforementioned structures is
capable of supporting a superior load than that of
the complete system.

Inspection is the next step after planning and

acquiring all the necessary parts needed to elevate
the systems. All parts, including the hardware
attached to the enclosure, the safety pins, etc.
should be thoroughly inspected before each use.
Units exhibiting deformations, cracks or any other
defect should be replaced with new units.

It is important to establish an inspection routine

for the complete rigging system before each event
or installation as well as establishing the maximum
load specifications of the hoists to be used.

Rigging should be carried out by experts

familiar with the way the systems function and
their characteristics.

On occasions, it may be convenient to have

additional tie down points to impede the array
from twisting or swinging.
