Quick Start Guide FLEX ARRAY SAFETY INFORMATION Safety Notes on Rigging The Turbosound rigging system has been designed and constructed to a high standard of safety, and tested to the most demanding of specifications. In order to ensure the highest safety standards, the information following on the assembly and safe use of rigging accessories must be carefully understood and followed. Only use Turbosound recommended rigging accessories, which are specifically designed for their intended purpose.
Quick Start Guide FLEX ARRAY The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 The Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 1992 The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 GENERAL DESCRIPTION To take full advantage of the extremely flexible properties of the Flex Array system, the rigging is fully integrated into the enclosure. The flying systems are inherently safe, flexible, self-contained and simple to use. The load is taken entirely through the flygear and not through the cabinet’s woodwork.
Quick Start Guide FLEX ARRAY The movable lift point can be traversed along the spine by means of a screw which is turned by a 22mm (7/8”) socket (available from Turbosound) fitted to a speed brace or electric drill. Turning the drive nut on the end of the shaft the lift point moves along the rear spine, tilting the load by varying the motor connection point relative to the centre of mass of the cluster.
Quick Start Guide FLEX ARRAY Important Safety Notes To ensure the continued safe operation of the FB-600 flybar the following points should be noted: A. The 100mm / 4” locking pin should always be fitted to lock the moving tilt point B.
Quick Start Guide FLEX ARRAY C. Under no circumstances should hands be placed in the open top of the spine when the flybar is in use. D. Two safety lifting lugs are provided for attaching wire safety rope. No other part of the flybar can be used for this purpose.
Quick Start Guide FLEX ARRAY E. Any components that are damaged should be repaired / replaced by an approved service centre. F. In the extremely unlikely event if the failure of the screw, the safety of the bar is not compromised.
Quick Start Guide FLEX ARRAY CF-600 Conversion Frame The conversion frame is used to interface between bass cabinets and mid/high cabinets in a flown column of Flex Array loudspeakers. The conversion frame has a SWL of 520kg which enables a column of up to a maximum of 12 TFA-600H cabinets to be suspended below it. The CF-600 conversion frame also functions as a ground stacking frame, interfacing between ground stacked TFA600L bass cabinets and the mid-high cabinets positioned on top.
Quick Start Guide FLEX ARRAY CF-600 Conversion Frame in a Flown Column The conversion frame is fitted underneath the lowest TFA-600L low frequency cabinet in a flown column as shown in the diagram below.
Quick Start Guide FLEX ARRAY Ground Stacking with the CF-600 Conversion Frame In this application the conversion frame locates on the top of a ground stacked bass cabinet(s) and engages into the flygear of the first mid/high cabinet. The system allows for the lowest mid/high cabinet to be tilted down by approximately 8°.
Quick Start Guide FLEX ARRAY Rigging a Single Column of Flex Array TFA-600 Cabinets 1. Choose flying points as necessary and attach a chain motor to the flybar’s pickup point. Note that the pickup point is adjustable from front to rear and can be moved even when under load. 2. Wheel in a block of three pre-rigged cabinets in their transport case, position them under the flybar and secure the enclosure tabs into the top cabinet with ball-lock pins. 3.
