SL-Series array assembly - Preassembly
5.1 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Damaged components must be withdrawn from use immediately.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
5.1.1 Suspending the load beam
Depending on the type of motor hoist (standard or climbing
suspension), the hooks can be directly connected to the shackles of
the load beam and the Z5707 SL Aiming plate or the Z5706 Hoist
connector chain can be connected in-between.
