Procedure 3.1 Connecting MV212 Cabinets to the MAN-FG
1. Install the Tip Bar (1) onto the MAN-FG y grid and secure using the 4 rigging
pins (2).
2. Double check that all pins are correctly inserted, before proceeding further.
3. Prepare the MAN-FG by removing the 2 front rigging pins (3) and the rear
rigging pin (4).
4. Prepare all the MV212 cabinets, by pulling out the front rigging pins (6), so
the spring-loaded top links (5) will move to the up position. Reinsert the pins
(6) to secure the links in the up position. Remove the MV212 rear pin (8) and
slide the rear mounting plate (7) up. Reinsert the rear pin (8) in a suitable
hole to secure the plate.
Note: normally the 0 degree hole is selected to attach the top MV212
enclosure to the MAN-FG in order to set the site 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.
5. Carefully lift the MAN-FG y grid on top of the rst MV212 cabinet and align
the y grid's front lower mounting holes with the cabinet's top mounting
links (5). Insert the y grid's front pins (3) to secure the mounting links (5) to
the y grid.
Take care not to trap your ngers between components.
6. Support the rear of the y grid and align the hole of the MV212 rear
mounting plate (7) with the rear hole in the y grid. Reinsert the rear pin (4)
to secure the plate to the y grid.
Double check that all pins are correctly inserted,
before proceeding further.
7. Attach the bow shackles or other lifting equipment securely to the Tip Bar
mounting hole recommended by the EASE FOCUS software, then attach the
hook and chain. Carefully raise the y grid/cabinet assembly to a reasonable
working height to allow attaching the next cabinet.
8. Remove the MV212 cabinet front lower pins (9) and rear pin (10).
9. Prepare the next MV212 cabinet, as described in step 4.
10. Carefully lower the y grid/cabinet assembly until the top links (5) of the
lower cabinet t into the corresponding slots in the bottom of the top
cabinet. Insert the front two pins (9) of the top cabinet, to secure the links
(5) in the slots.
Take care not to trap your ngers between components.
11. Support the rear of the lower cabinet and align the hole of its rear mounting
plate (7) with the rear hole in the top cabinet. Insert the rear pin (10) to
secure the plate to the cabinet. The holes for pin 8 are marked with the angle
from 0 to 10 degrees. Choose the correct hole that corresponds to the angle
recommended by EASE FOCUS software for this cabinet.
Double check that all pins are correctly inserted, before
proceeding further.
