Larger multiple-column arrays
Besides the configurations described above, you can create an array consisting of multiple columns of
panels suspended from single and/or double headers. In this type of installation:
• No column may be more than 14 panels high.
• All headers and panels must be fastened side-to-side.
• You must install connection plates on all four corners of every panel above the lowest 10 panels in a
column.
• You can install an unlimited number of columns up to 10 panels high in an array without corner connection
plates, provided that the panels are connected side-to-side.
• Each header in the middle of a multiple-column array (see
F
and
G
in Figure 25) must be suspended from
minimum one cable or chain.
• Each header at the edge of a multiple-column array (see
E
and
H
in Figure 25) must be suspended from
minimum two cables or chains:
- If you install a
double
header at the edge of a multiple array (see
E
in Figure 25), you must use
minimum two of the header’s three eyebolts so that you can suspend the header from two cables or
chains.
- If you install a
single
header at the edge of a multiple array (see
H
in Figure 25), you must install one
additional eyebolt so that you can suspend the header from two cables or chains.
To create an array consisting of multiple columns of panels:
1. See Figure 25. Obtain enough single or double headers for all the columns, and obtain enough corner
connection plates available from Martin® to stabilize the column. You will need two connection plates for
each panel above the lowest 10 panels.
2. Suspend the headers in a row from the truss or other supporting structure. Suspend each header from
its central eyebolt using a cable or chain that is approved to support ten times the total weight of the
header and all the items that will hang from it. Each eyebolt must have its own cable: do not loop one
cable through more than one eyebolt. Make sure that there is no slack in cables: all cables must be
equally tight. Each time you add a header, fasten it to the previous header with a header side connection
bracket.
3. Install panels one by one in rows under the headers as described in “Instructions for suspending panels”
on page 32. Each time you add a panel, fasten it using both its vertical fastener posts, then fasten it
side-to-side immediately. Install corner connection plates on all four corners of every panel that will have
10 panels or more suspended below it.
4. Attach the array to anchoring points at its lower corners to make it impossible for the bottom of the array
to move. Do not apply downward force to the array when attaching it.
