Follow the sequence in the figure for fixing the fly bar at the first box. Usually this is the first step before lifting up the system. Be careful to insert
properly all the locking pins (1)(2) and (3)(4) then the shackle (5) in the right holes as specified by the aiming software.
When lifting the system always proceed gradually step by step, paying
attention to secure the fly bar to the box (and the box to the other boxes)
before pulling up the system: this makes easier to insert properly the
locking pins. Also when the system is released down, unlock gradually
the pins.
During the lifting be very careful to not let the cables enter the space
between one enclosure and the other, as their compression could cut
them.
Please note that the bottom Rear Link Bar of the SW36XFP cabinet is
retained in the guide with a magnet, force it to release it down, it is
free to slide from rear to front of the box (see figure): the backward
position is to link another SW36XFP box, the forward position is to link
a AX2010P box.
Wind loads
When planning an open-air event it is essential to obtain current weather and wind information. When loudspeaker arrays are flown in an open-air
environment, possible wind effects must be taken into account. Wind load produces additional dynamic forces acting on the rigging components
and the suspension, which may lead to a dangerous situation. If according to the forecast wind forces higher than 5 bft (29-38 Km/h) are possible,
the following actions have to be taken:
- The actual on-site wind speed has to be monitored permanently. Be aware that wind speed typically increases with height above ground.
- Suspension and securing points of the array should be designed to support double the static load in order to withstand any additional dynamic
forces.
WARNING!
Flying loudspeakers overhead at wind forces higher than 6 bft (39-49 Km/h) is not recommended.
If the wind force exceeds 7 bft (50-61 Km/h) there is a risk of mechanical damage to the components which may lead to a dangerous situation
for persons in the vicinity of the flown array.
- Stop the event and make sure that no person remains in the vicinity of the array.
- Lower and secure the array.
