Final check of the array
Before lifting the array a visual inspection of the whole system should be
carried out.
LOCK PIN
SECURELY
BEFORE LIFTING
CAUTION
ONLY UNLOCK FOR
DISASSEMBLY ON
GROUND
WARNING!
Ensure all Locking pins 8 mm are inserted and locked
securely before lifting the array. The Locking pins 8 mm
should only be unlocked for disassembly on the ground.
Check the wiring. If the amplifiers are already wired and powered on,
by using their channel mute switches and a test signal the correct
function and routing of all channels and cabinets can be verified.
With dual hoist set ups check and trim the absolute angle setting of the
lowest cabinet using a digital angle finder.
2.6.
Hoisting the array
When all the mechanical adjustments, system checks and safety checks
have been made the array can be hoisted up to its operating position.
When hoisting the array, ensure that the loudspeaker cables do not get
caught anywhere. The cables can be strapped together with the motor
cable to form a loom while the system is hoisted.
The chain hoist motors must raise the system slowly and evenly so that it is
held level and does not swing or move from side to side during hoisting.
For safety reasons the final array must be fitted with an additional safety
device which is independent of the suspension points. A detailed
description is given in section 4. Secondary safety on page 12.
2.7.
Derigging
To lower the array and dismantle it, follow the assembly instructions in
reverse order. The same safety instructions apply.
2.8.
Ground stacks supported by the Q Flying frame
WARNING!
Ground stacked set ups must always be secured against
movement and possible collapse.
Fig. 21: Q1s in a ground stacked set up on
Z5159 Q Flying frame
Up to six Q1 cabinets can be stacked and interlinked using the standard
Q rigging components and the Z5159 Q Flying frame as ground support.
Check the acoustical and mechanical set up with the ArrayCalc for
stacked set ups. In particular watch the position of the array's centre of
gravity displayed in the side view.
Place the Q Flying frame up side down on the ground as shown in the
illustration opposite (Fig. 21).
Add Q1 cabinets one by one using the Z5151 Q Front links, Z5152
Q Splay links and Z5153 Locking pins 8 mm.
