The wall mounting hinge plates have the male hinges mounted on the right side of the plates to provide for swinging the
column array to the right away from the wall (see below). If you want the column array to swing to the left, you will need to
change the location of the hinges to the left side.
Notice that one of the wall mounting hinge plates has a metal strap attached to it. This is the hinge plate that goes on the
bottom. The metal strap attaches to the bottom of the array after it is hung and keeps the column array from turning.
If you have one of the larger IC24A, IC32A or IC32/16A column arrays with three hinge sections you may want to verify
that the center hinges are in the best location for your installation. They can be moved by removing the joining plate from
the array assemby and then removing the hinge sections from the plate and installing them in a different location.
To assist you in attaching the wall mounting hinge sections a dimensional drawing showing the hinge
locations and several paper mounting templates were shipped with the column array. Its usually easier to tape the paper
templates to the wall while marking the hole locations than it is to hold the actual mounting plates in place while marking.
Hint: To simplify the mounting many installers will first cut a “backing plate” the size of the
column out of heavy plywood and mount the hinge plates on it. It’s a lot easier to align the
hinge sections on a piece of plywood than it is on the wall. Then, when the aligment is
perfect they mount the “backing plate” to the wall. After that, it’s usually a comparatively
easy task to hang the column array on the backing plate.
After the column array is hung on the wall, remove the machine crew from the bottom end cap and use it to attach the
restraining strap.
Suspension Mounting (Flying)
The end caps of the column array are attached to the main frame with four metric M6 machine screws. Removing these
screws and replacing them with eye bolts provides up to four attachment points for flying. We recommend using all four. If
only 2 are used the column will not hang straight. It will either tilt up or down.
Final Connections
All that is left to do is to connect the column array to the system wiring. Remove the access plate from the connection port,
remove one or more of the “knockouts” from the access plate, run the power, audio and digital control cables through the
access plate and connect them. Don’t forget to use appropriate cable bushings in the access plate to protect the cables
from damage.
