Renkus-Heinz IC32-R-II - Manual (Page 6)

Prepare an assembly area. Each module is 4 feet long, so
you need a flat surface at least 8 feet long to assemble an
IC16-R-II and 16 feet for an IC32-R-II. We suggest cover-
ing the assembly area with a heavy cloth or some other soft
material to prevent damaging the finish on the cabinets while
assembling them. Avoid resting the modules on their grille.
The modules are heavy and may deform the grille. Instead,
rest the modules on their sides or back.
Place the modules in their respective positions on the as-
sembly area.
Note: Be aware that If you purchased two or more IC8-R-II
arrays at different times and now want to turn them into an
IC16-R-II or larger array, the IC8-R-II array modules must be
of the same Firmware version. Firmware version 1.x must
not be mixed with Firmware version 2.x. Refer to page 58 for
details on updating firmware.
Before proceeding any further carefully check to make
sure none of the array modules are connected to the
Mains (main AC power line). If they are, disconnect them!
Removing the array module’s top plate exposes terminals
that carry AC power between the modules and pose a
shock hazard if the unit is connected to the AC power line
(mains).
You will first need to remove the top of the lower module and
the bottom of the top module, and the tops and bottoms of
any intermediate modules and their mounting brackets.
To remove an end cap, remove the eight machine screws
from each side of the cabinet and lift the end cap and its
mounting brackets out of the cabinet. Note that for clarity the
end cap was removed in the graphic.
Now, use the mounting bracket machine screws you removed
to install the two heavy joining plates. They will be packed
with the hardware. Tighten the screws lightly. The joining
plates need to be a little loose to slide easily into the other
cabinet. Align the two modules to be joined on a tabletop or
on the floor so that the top of the lower one and the bottom of
the upper one are close to one another, say 4” (10 cm) apart.
If you are assembling a “master & slave array, insert the free
end of the short ribbon cable into the socket on the second
module. Using a #1 Phillips screw driver, secure the connec-
tor with two 4-40 Phillips head screws (supplied). Make sure
the connectors are fully seated. If necessary, use a flashlight
to check because if the connectors are not seated properly,
you may have to disassemble the column again in order to
seat them correctly.
If you are assembling an All Master system, do not connect
the cables.
