For the Install version of the rigging
frame, attach the hanging bracket
to the steel frame. Note that there
are several positions alongside the
middle bar to attain the desired
frame angle when flown.
In the Touring Version a moveable
pick point is built in, therefore no
hanging bracket is needed.
The EIR™ plates function in a similar
manner as the AIR™ rigging wheel.
Each of the 6 positions are on a logarhitmic scale and do not present a full
degree. (settings 0 to 5).
When using the EIR™ plates always attach the first plate to the frame using setting 3 and to the first
enclosure using setting 4 in order to attain a flat 0 degrees between the first enclosure and the frame,
when using the EIR™ ‘W’ (15-degree enclosure) plates always attach the first plate to the frame using
setting 1 and to the first enclosure using setting 2 in order to attain a flat 0 degrees between the first
enclosure and the frame.
Each EIR™ plate takes 4 screws: 2 Screws to the top enclosure and 2 to the bottom enclosure per side.
All 4 screws in a single plate should be used with the same setting.
Eg. If one would like to use setting 2 in between box 1 and 2, all 4 screws (2 in box 1 and 2 in box 2) have to
be placed in hole marked 2. If the desired angle in between box 2 and 3 is position 5, then all four screws
should be placed in holes marked 5 and so on.
Both sides of the enclosure should always have the same settings in between the same enclosures.
Note: There is an arrow marking the front of the enclosure. Plates will only fit when placed the right way.
To attach a Metrix W enclosure with Metrix enclosures please use the W Plates. There are 3 ‘W to W’ settings
marked W0, W1and W2. The W is a 15° enclosure; and therefore can only be
set up in 3 different angles.
Example 1. When Using two W enclosures (both top and Bottom box) use
the W settings for top and bottom.
Example 2. To connect a W enclosure below a Metrix enclosure, use the
plain (numbers only) settings on top and bottom of the W plate.
Note: All 4 sides (top and bottom enclosures, as well as both sides on the
same enclosures) should always be used with the corresponding settings
whether using W or regular setting numbers.
