XSL Array assembly - Preassembly
4.1 Setup preparation
Notes
For both, Compression and Tension mode setups, it is assumed that
the Touring carts are appropriately loaded and the flying frame is
already attached as described in
Preparatory steps
Check the acoustical and mechanical setup using ArrayCalc and
prepare enough printouts for each array. Alternatively, the
ArrayCalc Viewer App can be used for this purpose.
The plan enables the riggers to set up the suspension points, the
securing points and the chain hoists.
When on site first:
▪ Clear the working areas and ensure there is enough space to
set up and lift the array.
▪ Check that the hoists are exactly in the specified position.
▪ Ensure the chains are not twisted.
Inspections before setup
Before setting up the array, carry out a visual inspection of all
system components for faults. This also includes the loudspeakers
and in particular the rigging parts of the cabinets (Front and
Splay/Rear links).
Damaged components must be withdrawn from use immediately.
Please follow the instructions given in
4.1.1 Attaching the Load beam to the Flying frame
WARNING!
Potential risk of personal injury and/or
damage to material!
The two Locking pins of the flying frame's load beam slots at the
center front and rear of the frame carry the load of the entire array.
For this reason, ensure the corresponding Locking pins are fully
inserted and locked.
The attachment of the load beam applies to both, Compression
and Tension mode setups.
Depending on the desired operating mode (STANDARD MODE or
FRONT EXTENSION), attach the load beam as follows:
