Groups of MV212 cabinets can be pre-assembled using Procedure 3.1, steps 8 to
11, and then connected to the MAN-FG y grid as an assembled group just prior
to ying.
The MV212 cabinets connect to each other using the front mounting links (3), and
the rear mounting plate (5).
1. Prepare the MAN-FG y grid by installing the Tip Bar with its 4 pins, and by
removing the MAN-FG 2 front pins (1) and the rear pin (2).
2. Prepare the top MV212 cabinet of the group, by pulling out the front rigging
pins (4), so the spring-loaded top links (3) will move to the up position.
Reinsert the pins (4) to secure the links in the up position. Remove the
MV212 rear pin (6) and slide the rear mounting plate (5) up. Insert the rear
pin (6) in a suitable hole to secure the plate.
3. Carefully lift the MAN-FG y grid onto the top MV212 cabinet and align the
y grid's front slots with the front links (3) of the cabinet. Reinsert the front
pins (1) to secure the links (3) of the cabinet to the y grid.
Take care not to trap your ngers between components.
4. Support the rear of the y grid and align the y grid's rear mounting hole
with the top hole in the MV212 rear plate (5). Insert the y grid rear pin (2) to
secure the plate to the y grid.
5. The angle of the cabinet can be selected by moving the rear plate up or
down and inserting the pin (6) into one of the holes marked with the angle
from 0 to 10 degrees. Choose the correct hole that corresponds to the angle
recommended by EASE FOCUS software for the rst MV212 cabinet.
Note: normally the 0 degree hole is selected to attach the top MV212
enclosure to the MAN-FG, in order to set the angle of the top element
parallel to the y grid. This allows the MAN-FG to serve as a visual reference
for checking array focus on the audience area, that is, if you can see the top
of the MAN-FG then you are outside the vertical coverage pattern of the
array. The angles of the other cabinets can be adjusted by supporting the
cabinet weight and moving the rear plates (5) of the various cabinets and
inserting the pins (6) into the desired angle holes.
Double check that all pins are correctly inserted.
