UNITS MOUNTING ON A PL-40S Three or four units groups are easy to transport by truck as we will see in this section. We will also see the preparation. Remove the front PL-40 pushing the triggers at the same time. Hold the carriage before acting on the triggers. The triggers are situated on both sides of the enclosure. This will be the first enclosure that we will stack onto the PL-40S. If we look at the platform we will see the two security pins on the sides (see figure).
Lift the enclosure by the handles and sit it gently over the platform. Remove the security pins and hold with them the enclosure. Warning: For transport, introduce the pin in hole 0º at “Rear Link”. Check that the four security pins are well positioned. Front security pin: FRONT LINK Rear security pins: REAR LINK (Remember: 0º) Front security pin: FRONT LINK Final mounting of one enclosure on a PL-40S platform.
Side controls Lets add another enclosure over the previous. We need to look at the side controls of the enclosure and act on them like in the figure. The hidden front and the rear rods on the side will appear. The front rod will fix in its position while the rear one can move freely. Rear rods Front rods Side controls To fix its position in 0º (position for transport), we will put one of the security pins in the hole ‘FIX ANGLE’ like in the figure.
Lift the second enclosure and place it over the first enclosure gently. Remove the security pins on the sides of the enclosure and hold the enclosure with them. Warning: For transport, introduce the pin in hole 0º at “Rear Link”. Check that the four security pins are well positioned. Figures show final mounting of two enclosures on a PL-40S platform (side views).
Lift the third enclosure and place it over the second one gently. Repeat the process described before. Warning: For transport, introduce the pin in hole0º at “Rear Link”. Check that the four security pins are well positioned. You can see the final result in the next figure.
Lift the fourth enclosure and place it gently over the third enclosure. Repeat the process described before. Warning: For transport, introduce the pin in hole 0º at “Rear Link”. Never carry more than four enclosures on the platform. Check that the four security pins are well positionated. You can see the result in the next figure.
ARRAY MOUNTING OF GROUPS OF 4 UNITS ON A PL-40S The groups of 3 or 4 units are easy to transport by truck. Lets see in this section how to mount an array of four units. Firstly, mount the AX-aero40 onto the top box. Rods To mount the AX-aero40 take out the rods of the top unit. See the result in the right figure. Next, place the side pieces of the AXaero40 introducing the security pin like in the figure below.
With the help of the Ease Focus program we can determine which point is the correct one to join the side pieces with the bar of AX-aero40, with the help of the security pins. If we use two lift motors, we will use a second Pick Up AX-aero40 which joins through the same way to the pinpoint marked by Ease Focus. Check that positioned.
At last, hook the lift motor. In case two lift motors are needed, hook each one to each Pick Up AX-aero40. Like in every security operation, use adecuate security elements.
Proceed to assign the angles to each enclosure. Note that the first enclosure is 0º. This is the right position for it. With the help of the Ease Focus program we will know the correct angle to each enclosure. This process is similar for all the enclosures. 1.- Take out the security pin “REAR LINK” of the first enclosure. 1. DETAIL 2. 2.Slightly elevate the lift motor to free the rod.
3. DETAIL 3.- Remove the security pin “FIX ANGLE” of the second enclosure. Choose the right angle with the side control and introduce again the security pin on “FIX ANGLE”to fix it (2º in this example). 4. DETAIL 4.- Lower carefully and introduce the security pin in “REAR LINK” and the enclosures will be joined again.
We learned to assign an angle (2º) to an enclosure on pages 13 and 14. Now, let´s see another example for more closed angles: 0º, 0.5º, 1 y 1.5º. After assigning the angles to the enclosures remove the platform to add more enclosures. Remove the security pins and lift the group to add another group of enclosures.
After repeating the process this will be the result of this example, once the platform is removed. 0º 0.5º 1º 1.
DETAILS We proceed in the same way with the next group of 4 units. 1. 1.- Take out the rods of the top unit. Assign the angle to the top enclosure of the new group and fix it introducing the security pin in FIX ANGLE. Enclosure 1 2. Enclosure 2 2.- We go down the group over the enclosure 5. Enclosure 3 Enclosure 4 3. Enclosure 5 3.- Align the front rods and introduce the security pins in FRONT LINK. Enclosure 6 Enclosure 7 Enclosure 8 4. Manual de Colgado / aero 40 / Rigging Manual 4.
DETAIL When the new group is joined to the top group assign the angles following the Ease Focus instructions. The assignment of the angles and to remove the platform is the same as described before with the first group.
Here you can see the final result for this example with 8 enclosures. 0º 0.5º 1º 1.
ARRAY DISASSEMBLY OF GROUPS OF 4 UNITS ON A PL-40S The groups of 4 units are easy to transport by truck. In this section you will see how to disassemble an array of 4 units. Firstly, go down the array and align with the PL40S platform as the figures show.
Next, turn the two side pins of the platform (see figure 1). It allows to lift the plate of the platform. (Figure 2). Introduce the security pins in “FRONT LINK” . (Figure 3). 3 1 2 4 1 Side pins DETAIL Support the array over the platform (4). Be careful and avoid accidents. Use security gloves and take care with the hands. Use the side pins to fix the plate. At last, introduce the security pins in “REAR LINK.” Figure (5).
After placing the group over the platform proceed to reset the angles to 0º because is the safest way to transport. As we saw in pages 13 and 14, start to assign the angles from the top. When you complete the group of 4 units remove from the rest (see side figure). This group, with 0º angulation, is easy to transport. Note: Push the group from the sides. Before transport, don´t forget to hide the top rods. Remove the security pin from “FIX ANGLE” and place it in “STORE”.
ARRAY MOUNTING FROM INDIVIDUAL UNITS In this section we will mount an array from individual units and join them to form the array and rig it. In this case, the units will rest over the front platform, PL-40, while we join them. Add the second enclosure at the desired angle. (for example, 3º). Just introduce the security pin in FRONT LINK to join them.
Add the third enclosure at the desired angle. (for example, 4º). Just introduce the security pin in FRONT LINK to join them. Repeat the process with the rest of the enclosures.
Once all the enclosures are joined, assign 0º to the first enclosure and mount the side pieces of AXAERO40. Make sure the security pins are well placed. 0º 3º 4º 5º 6º 7º Join the lift motor with AX-AERO40. You will need another Pick Up AXAERO40 if another lift motor is used.
Place the AX-AERO40 and join it (with the security pins) to the side pieces of the AX (mounted before). After checking that security pins are well placed, start to lift up the array system slowly.
While you lift the array, introduce the security pins in REAR LINK while the holes are aligned at the desired angles. Do this from the first to the last enclosure.
While the enclosures lift from the floor, remove the front PL-40 acting over the handles. For disassembling follow the instructions described earlier but in a reverse way.
Annex I - Tools for rigging systems For best results hanging aero series 2 systems, it is mandatory the use of Ease Focus 2 simulation software which can be downloaded for free from our website www.dasaudio.com within the support section. The download file contains the software and data files with gll files for acoustic systems.
Annex II- Maximum load capacity for AX-aero40 AX-aero40 1090 730 430 Pick Up AX-aero40 AX-aero40 is comprised of two side panels of steel and aluminum and a central bar (Pick-Up AX aero40). It is a modular flybar set. The maximum load capacity is 20 units * (pick-up point dependent) with a 5:1 safety factor. For systems of 12 units or more, an additional bar should be added and the array will hang from two lift motors for greater security and control over the angle of the system at all times.
For example, lets take a system of 16 aero 40A units. If we consult the panel lettering of the AX-aero40, we observe that 16 units can be flown when the vertical axis of the center of gravity is aligned with any of the 17 hanging positions. 1 20 2 20 3 20 4 20 5 20 6 20 7 20 8 20 9 20 10 20 11 20 12 20 13 20 14 19 15 18 16 17 17 16 MAX. NUMBER OF UNITS ALLOWED In the simulation attached, the system is flown at 11 meters with -6.33º of inclination. No warning of maximum load appears.
Annex III - Advice for EASE Focus 2 use SYSTEM angles (cluster): It’s important to understand the signs of the system's total angles in the EASE Focus 2 software program. A cluster can be flown at different angles, depending on the number of cabinets, the angle between them and the pick-up point. The angle in the software is defined in section View [º] Inclining systems forwards (downwards) result in a negative angle (-). The systems inclined upwards result in a positive angle (+).
Meaning of parameter DELTA EASE Focus 2: The delta parameter marks the angle NEEDED to reach the desired angle in our system (View [°]). This information is useful ONLY when the system is flown from a single POINT. Imagine a system of 8 units hanging 11 meters high. The desired angle is: View [°] -15° As shown in the image, Delta [º] -0.62º This means that to reach the desired -15 º, we are lacking 0.62º when the system is flown at the point 15.
DELTA parameter in EASE Focus 2 software and maximum angles: As seen before the DELTA parameter makes a difference (in excess or in lack of) between the desired angle and the obtained angle to hang the system from a single point. When we fly the system from TWO points, this parameter is very useful because we also determine the maximum angles with which we can install it. For example, suppose a set of 12 aero 40A units: The system is inclined -7.18 º.
