THE CONTOUR CT28 RIGGING SYSTEM
When the system is flown outdoors, it is essential
to consider atmospheric conditions. Movement of the
system due to wind can produce dynamic stress to
the rigging components and suspension points. Tag
lines should be used to keep an array from swinging
in the wind. For any outdoor suspended deployment,
an engineer should determine and certify the maximum
wind speed the systems can operate in, and if the wind
reaches that limit, the loudspeaker system should be
lowered immediately to the ground.
Restriction:
Do not install a loudspeaker or any accessory near any open
flame or heat source.
Products, accessories and tools required
To fly a Contour CT28 enclosure from a truss or batten, you will need
the following:
•
A
CT28 (on page 3)
loudspeaker enclosure
•
The
Countour CT28 Rigging System (on page 4)
•
A 3 mm hex driver or Allen wrench
•
A 4 mm hex driver or Allen wrench
•
Thread-locking compound
•
A medium- or heavy-duty Half Coupler or Truss Clamp with the
appropriate diameter for the truss or batten to be used, as well
as an attachment bolt or post (min. M12, max M16 – min. ½",
max. 5/8") with locking hardware (lock washer, lock bolt etc.).
•
Two M6 double-swivel or side-pull Hoist Rings
•
The tools necessary for installing and properly torquing the
aforementioned hoist rings (see manufacturer's instructions)
•
A standard medium- or heavy-duty half coupler (cheeseborough
clamp) matched to the diameter of the truss or batten
•
The tools necessary (see manufacturer's instructions) for
attaching the aforementioned clamp to the Contour Rigging
System
•
A two-leg safety bridle of min. ø3 mm steel wire rope
If the Contour Rigging System is already equipped with the Tube Mount,
the following will also be necessary:
•
A 5 mm hex driver or Allen wrench
•
A ¾" (19 mm) socket driver with at least an 80 mm shaft
Procedures
Installing the Suspension Yoke on the Contour Rigging
System
The Contour Rigging System is supplied with the Suspension Yoke
installed, but if the Rigging System has been previously used for a pole-
mounted installation, it will be necessary to remove the Tube Mount and
re-attach the Yoke. If the Yoke is already installed on the Rigging System,
you can proceed to the
installation of the Rigging System on the CT28
(on page
25).
Note: The Yoke can be installed or removed from the Contour
Rigging System either before or after the Rigging System is
installed on the CT28.
If the Tube Mount is installed on the Rigging System, first it will be
necessary to remove it.
CAUTION
Figure 56. Removing the Tube Mount from the
Contour Rigging system.
• If the Tube Mount is installed on the Rigging System, use a
¾-inch (19 mm) socket wrench to remove the bolt and locking
washer used to attach it.
