SYSTEM INSTALLATION
The units can be installed in a

number of ways. Typically several
units would be assembled to form a line array
cluster, but it can also be used alone, as a frontfill
or as an under- balcony unit. A wide range of
accessories and uses are available, and have been
described in the paragraphs below.

Before installing the system it
is advisable to run a simulation using the

Installing a line array system
Whenever a cluster of only
units is to be assembled the procedure will be as
follows:
First step will be to attach the bumper
to the hoist. The chain sling needs to be attached
to the structure using the shackle provided with
the grid. The shackle will be inserted into the hole
recommended by the software.
The next step will be to mechanically connect
the first to the . In order to do so
rotate the connecting links (1) and then insert the
safety pins through the labeled holes to select the
splay angle between the and the grid
(2). Now both connecting links must be inserted
into the receptacles on the (3). Once this
has been done two more safety pins have to be
inserted to secure the boxes (4). It is highly
advisable to check that all of the safety pins have
been correctly inserted.

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 system functions and
their characteristics.
On occasions it may be convenient to have
additional tie down points to impede the array
from twisting or swinging.

The procedure to mechanically connect the
second unit is similar. First rotate the connecting
links (5) in order to select the correct angle by
means of the safety pins (6). In this example the
selected angle is 2º. Once this has been done then
the enclosure must be hung from the first box (7)
and assured by means of one more safety pin (8).

The above described procedure applies to the
rest of the units.
The basic procedure to hang the units is as
follows: rotate the connecting links (1) until the
desired angle is reached. Then introduce the
safety pins through the holes labeled with the
desired angle which should have been provided by
the prediction software (2). Now
introduce the connecting links into the receptacles
of the box above and hang the unit from the
rotating point (3). Finally introduce the safety pin
that secures the unit (4). This procedure will be
repeated as many times as enclosures are to be
assembled. This procedure is also identical in case
of flying systems.
