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
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).

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.

Once the first unit of the array has been
attached to the , the assembly should
be lifted by way of the hoist until the wheels of the
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 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.
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.
Ease Focus
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.
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.
