2.2.
Preparation for the set up
Check the acoustical and mechanical set up with ArrayCalc and prepare
enough print outs for each array.
Using the plan, the riggers are able to set up the suspension points, the
securing points and the chain hoists.
WARNING!
The working load limit of the chain hoists and their
suspension points has to be high enough to carry the total
system weight.
If two hoists are used to suspend a single array each of
them has to be able to carry the total system weight. This is
because during the set up the motors might not always be
synchronized.

Fig. 8: Quad grid using the Z5160 Q Load
adapter
When on site first clear the working areas, check that the hoists are in the
specified position, the chains are not twisted and there is enough
clearance to set up and lift the array.
2.3.
Assembly of the array
Prepare flying cables and link cables according to the number of
amplifier channels and cabinets used.
Single hoist set up
Choose the appropriate hole position in the top row of the Q Flying
frame centre bar according to the ArrayCalc simulation.

Fig. 9: Q Flying frame hole grid and labelling
Connect the Z5155 Q Hoist connector chain to the next rounded
numbered hole using one E6507 1t Shackle (Fig. 6). If ArrayCalc
displays a half numbered hole setting (half grid) use two 1t Shackles
set to the adjacent holes (Fig. 7). As an alternative the Z5160 Q Load
adapter can be used to achieve a quad grid (Fig. 8). Please refer to
the Z5160 Q Load adapter manual.
