3.1 Rigging Overview

Rigging

E-Series | Rigging

In standalone mode (Fig. 1), the frame can be

used to lift flat to slightly-angled arrays. Two

rigging plates are provided for dual motor

operation, and if two motors are not available,

one lifting plate may be repositioned towards

the center of the frame. Please refer to

Blueprint AV™ when determining proper lifting

plate location.

In order to attach the extended beam, the

lifting plates must be removed and replaced

with Extended Beam plates, characterized as

having a rectangular shape and two smaller

holes at the top of each plate. (Fig. 2)

As arrays get longer and more curved, the

center of gravity will shift, making it neces-

sary to position the rigging beam and rigging

pieces so that the motors carry equivalent

weight. The ‘Mechanical’ tab in Blueprint AV™

will aid the user in choosing the correct rig-

ging frame configuration. (Fig. 3)
