Chapter 6: Quickfly Rigging; Basic Eyebolt Rigging - Meyer Sound UPJunior UltraCompact VariO Operating Instructions Manual

CHAPTER 6: QUICKFLY RIGGING

The UPJunior is compatible with Meyer Sound's QuickFly
system, a comprehensive collection of custom-designed
rigging, flying, and mounting options. Comprised of rugged,
reliable, and easy-to-configure components, QuickFly lets
you deploy UPJuniors as either individual loudspeakers or
as arrays at precise angles to take full advantage of their
directional components. The UPJunior's top and bottom
plates are constructed of heavy-duty, high-strength, corro-
sion-resistant 6061-T6 aluminum and include threaded met-
ric holes (for M8 screws) for easy connection to QuickFly
rigging and third-party mounting options.
Important Safety Considerations!
When installing Meyer Sound loudspeakers, the following
precautions should always be observed:
All Meyer Sound products must be used in accordance
■
with local, state, federal, and industry regulations. It is
the owner's and user's responsibility to evaluate the reli-
ability of any rigging method for their application. Rigging
should only be carried out by experienced professionals.
Use mounting and rigging hardware that has been rated
■
to meet or exceed the weight being hung.
■ Make sure to attach mounting hardware to the building's
structural components (studs or joists), and not just to
the wall surface. Verify that the building's structure and
the anchors used for the installation will safely support
the total weight of the mounted loudspeakers.
■ Use mounting hardware appropriate for the surface
where the loudspeaker will be installed.
■ Make sure bolts and eyebolts are tightened securely.
Meyer Sound recommends using Loctite
threads and safety cables.
■ Inspect mounting and rigging hardware regularly. Imme-
diately replace any worn or damaged components.

BASIC EYEBOLT RIGGING

The UPJunior ships with two M8 threaded, 20 mm eyebolts.
The eyebolts attach to the top or bottom plates of the
UPJunior and can be used to suspend the loudspeaker.
UPJunior Top Plate with Threaded Holes for Eyebolts
A single UPJunior can be suspended with one eyebolt.
However, two eyebolts provide more safety and stability, as
well the capability of aiming and tilting the UPJunior for tar-
geted coverage.

configuration, the top UPJunior would have two eye-
bolts installed on its top plate and two eyebolts
installed on its bottom plate, for connecting to the
second UPJunior. Additional M8 eyebolts are avail-
able from Meyer Sound.
NOTE: Up to two UPJuniors, oriented verti-
