Welcome to the Outline World!

We suggest you take your time to reading this ma-

nual in order get to know this product in depth and

ensure you make the most of its use to guarantee

the correct mounting/dismantling of the system (as

a temporary or as a fixed installation).

Each rigging or derigging phase must be executed

by qualified staff in compliance with the general sa-

fety and prevention rules of your country and there

should be at least two operators, equipped with all

necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) and

valid occupational safety certificates in compliance

with local laws.

The staff must make sure that the following rules

are observed:

• all the necessary steps described in this ma-

nual are performed;

• for installation, the staff involved must know

and be familiar with the safety procedures to

follow in these situations;

• the integrity of the whole system must be

maintained and any defective component that

could compromise the safety must be discar-

ded and replaced;

• nobody stays under the system, especially

when moving the clusters;

• respect the limits set for the mechanical parts

imposed by Outline “OpenArray2” software as

described in this manual;

• regular check up of the conditions and correct

operation of the mechanical parts.

Outline declines any and all responsibility for da-

mage or faulty operation caused by using the sy-

stem in a different way from that expressly forese-

en and specied

2. COMPONENTS OVERVIEW

2.1. LOAD CAPACITY

The whole structure (frame bar, single hardware

elements, locking pins etc.) to hang the array of

Su-

perfly

Mantas 28

enclosures is approved to support

a maximum load that is determined by the calcula-

tions made with OpenArray2 (for the arrays of Man-

tas 28, Superfly or both). It can be of help to remem-

ber the following maximum load capacity values:

• 24 x

Mantas 28

………………. 576 kg (1270 lb)

• 16 x

Superfly

………………….. 608 kg (1340 lb)

DO NOT ABSOLUTELY exceed the limits imposed

OpenArray2

by adding other elements not making

part of the project (chapter 3).

The weight distribution has been studied to be the

safest possible while respecting the load in relation

to the array’s center of gravity.

The above mentioned values refer to the total ab-

sence of lateral forces (strong wind for example).

In case these forces are present, it is necessary to

avoid any overload of the structure that could com-

promise its safety. It is highly recommended to use

special support means to keep the system still. In

case of potentially dangerous situations it is advi-

sable to contact engineers and experts specialized

in suspended loads.

To perform all the rigging steps correctly, it is essential to know the components that make part of the sound

reinforcement system and their characteristics. These, in addition to the data provided by

OpenArray2

projects

that will be analyzed in chapter 3, will ensure compliance with all the established and certified parameters to

always guarantee public safety during the executive phases carried out by the authorized personnel.

The shackle should be fastened to the pick point in-

dicated by the software.

In case common chain hoists are used, it coud be

of help to use a wire rope sling with thimbles to avoid

that the bag containing the chain leans upon the clu-

ster causing chain lock or unwanted vertical displace-

ment of the array.

It should be the authorized staff’s care to verify and

ensure the integrity and suitability of all additional rig-

ging tools. Outline, besides providing advice, assumes

no responsibility for the choice of these tools. Fur-

thermore, Outline considers itself unrelated to any

unauthorized modication of the mechanical parts

of the frame. Considering the high weights involved,

we remind you that these instruments must guaran-

tee maximum safety under any circumstances (whith

their appropriate use as a necessary prerequisite).

FRM1-AL630

is equipped with four solid rotatable hardware parts (two front and two rear ones), easy to

mount and fasten to the line array elements. Its load beam has 20 pick points for fastening the hoist(s), as

calculated by OpenArray2.

2.3. INTEGRATED HARDWARE OF LINE ARRAY ELEMENTS

Similar to the frame bar hardware, the

Superfly /

Mantas28

elements also have a simple but very effi-

cient hardware structure. These hardware elements

are made of ultra-light aluminium and are designed,

approved and certified to support the established lo-

ads.

The sliding bars, inserted in the rails on the back

of the cabinets, are easy to adjust and allow a vertical

inclination from 0 ° to 7.5 ° with 0.5 ° steps (with the

addition of the 0.25 ° angle) between the elements.

In the lower part (fig. 1) of each rail there are 4 holes

for locking pins corresponding to the “groups” of an-

gles illustrated next to the rail.

This allows a very precise pointing choice which ad-

dresses any type of need. Further details on their use

in chapter 4.

In the upper part (figure 2), each rail receives the bar

of the previous element or of the frame bar, presen-

ting a hole (“Default”) dedicated to all the selectable

degrees with the exception of the 0.25 ° angle, for whi-

ch the dedicated hole (called “0.25 ° ONLY”) should be

used. For the connection to the frame bar the “Defau-

lt” hole is used.

2.4. LOCKING PINS

The locking pins on the back and front of the cabi-

nets are practical and convenient to use, guaranteeing

maximum safety.

They are made of ultra-resistant steel and once in-

serted into the lock point the whole body of the line

array element remains stable mantaining the chosen

pointing angle. The pins chosen for

Superfly

and

Man-

tas 28

are of two types and differ only in their length:

the longer ones (

BLC6BA14S

) have been chosen for

the rear hardware parts, while the shorter ones (

BL-

C6BA12S

) have been chosen for the front hardware

parts.

All the pins are fixed to the cabinet by means of a

lanyard, to avoid their loss.

The specifications of the locking pins:

The front of the cabinet (figure 3) has non-adju-

stable hardware parts on both sides, complementary

to the rear ones.

The example in Figure 3 shows a first element fa-

stened to the frame and a second element ready to

be fastened. Learn more about the various steps in

Chapter 4.

2.5. HARDWARE INSPECTION

It is of utmost importance to periodically check the

integrity of the entire structure of the hardware both

of the line array elements and of the frame bar.

Being these components placed under stress by

heavy weights, different places of use, continuous

transportation and more, they can be subject to da-

mage in the long term, despite the excellent quality of

the materials.

Here below you will find some precautions to fol-

low, at the discretion of the authorized staff:

1. Make sure there is no rust in the hardware or

locking pins. In case of rust use suitable and

certified products for its removal. The rust

could be deposited by other oxidized elemen-

ts or due to the oxidation of the element itself.

In the first case, the integrity of the component

must be checked after removing the rust; in the

second case, if the rust is only superficial, it can

be removed; if in removing it you notice that it

goes in depth you have to replace the element;

2. Check that the sliding bar of the rear hardwa-

re part remains in its rail (not above the “Rest

point” upwards and not more than at 0.25°

downwards). Otherwise the hardware part is

to be considered dangerous for any type of use

and, therefore, is to be replaced;

3. Check that the locking pins close correctly,

which means that the two steel balls come out

completely outside the locking pin body. It is

important to ensure the immobility of the pins

in the locking points;

4. Free the mechanical parts and the holes of the

hardware from any dust or other residues. This

will allow the correct insertion of the pins and

the right positioning of the hardware.

The inscriptions indicating the degrees of inclina-

tion are engraved in the hardware. This prevents any

cancellation, but in case of excessive corrosion for

other reasons, Outline can provide, if deemed appro-

priate, a replacement part and assistance.

All the hardware components are designed in com-

pliance with the safety regulations in force following

in-depth studies of the Outline R&D department and

subsequent certification by specialized engineers, in

compliance with the laws based on the EEC / EU di-

rectives (chap. 1.2).

3. OPEN ARRAY 2 - PRE-RIGGING

OpenArray2

is a software which helps the system

engineer to calculate and establish a first relationship

between the sound system and the venue.

Given the potential of this software for acoustic fo-

recasts and the possibilities of creating projects of va-

rious types (which are not covered by this manual), it

will be possible to know precisely if the configuration

is feasible in relation to the model and the number of

elements of the arrays used, to the inclination of the

clusters, motor coupling points and all the necessary

data for the PA man for a correct rigging in the field.

Some of the data regarding arrays vary based on

the use of one (figure 4) or two motors (figure 5). Logi-

cally the use of more motors guarantees greater ma-

neuverability (during the rigging phases) and stability

of the array.

The angles selected for each element will be visible

in correspondence with the load bars in the relative

box on the OpenArray2 mechanic paper.

It is advisable to print and always carry the mecha-

nic paper while doing the rigging.
