Stacking and Flying
Overview
To take full advantage of the extremely exible properties of the TRx3210 system, two modes of rigging systems have been developed.
e rst mode utilizes the interlocking feet and pole mounts and the second mode is using the optional SureFly™ hardware. e two rig-
ging systems allow either line arrays or virtual point source clusters to be assembled – intuitively, quickly and easily, and with an absolute
minimum of additional external parts to suit the coverage requirements of a huge variety of professional sound reinforcement situations.
e second mode using the optional SureFly™ hardware is inherently safe, exible, self-contained and simple to use. e load is taken
entirely through the SureFly™ hardware and not through the cabinet’s woodwork. e rigging design allows the creation of clusters and
arrays that can be assembled quickly and with a minimum number of crew, and with full control of the vertical angles between enclosures
and the overall cluster inclination.
Safety Notes on Rigging - Important Please Read!
e Carvin SureFly™ rigging system has been designed and constructed to a high standard of safety and tested to the most demanding
conditions. As a very rst concern and in order to ensure the highest safety standards, the information following on the assembly and safe
use of rigging accessories must be carefully understood and followed. Every user that operates, suspends, or lis a TRx3210 loudspeaker
system needs to be properly trained before ever constructing and deploying the system in a working situation.
Only use Carvin recommended rigging accessories, which are specically designed for their intended purpose. Do not use Carvin Sure-
Fly™ rigging with other types or brands of loudspeakers. is practice may compromise safety standards and Carvin will not be respon-
sible for damage or injury as a result.
Do not modify the rigging accessories, or use them in any other way than described in this user manual. Rigging components supplied
as part of a complete assembly are non-interchangeable and must not be exchanged with the component parts of any other assembly.
e component parts of Carvin SureFly™ rigging accessory must only be assembled using the fasteners and methods of assembly rec-
ommended in this manual. e use of fasteners and methods of assembly not specied or approved by Carvin may result in an unsafe
rigging assembly. Welding, or any other means of permanently xing rigging components to each other or to cabinet xing points, is not
recommended.
Rigging assemblies must only be assembled using the appropriate parts and xings as specied in this manual using the specic mount-
ing instructions. Rigging components or assemblies must only be xed to Carvin loudspeaker cabinets using the cabinet xing points,
assembly methods and fasteners specied in this manual and the specic mounting instructions.
Walls, oors or ceilings must be capable of safely and securely supporting the actual load.
e rigging accessory used must be safely and securely xed both to the loudspeaker and to the wall, oor or ceiling.
When mounting rigging components on walls, oors or ceilings ensure that all xings and fasteners used are of an appropriate size and
load rating. Wall and ceiling claddings, and the construction and composition of walls and ceilings, all need to be taken into account
when determining whether a particular xing arrangement can be safely employed for a particular load. Cavity plugs or other specialist
xings, if required, must be of an appropriate type and must be tted and used in accordance with the makers instructions. Use only the
rigging accessory xing holes indicated in this manual and the specic mounting instructions to x Carvin SureFly™ rigging accessories
to walls, oors or ceilings.
Where specied, the recommended maximum torque settings for screw fasteners must be strictly complied with.
Secondary Safeties
Best practice dictates in addition to the principle load bearing means of suspension, that all loudspeakers own in theaters, studios or
other places of work and entertainment should (and where local laws apply), be provided with an independent, properly rated and se-
curely attached secondary means of safety. Only steel wire ropes or steel chains of an approved construction and load rating may be used
as secondary safeties. Plastic covered steel wire ropes are not permitted for use as secondary safeties.
Safety Inspections
Carefully inspect rigging systems components and cabinets for defects or signs of damage before proceeding to assemble a own array.
If any parts are damaged or suspect, DO NOT USE THEM.
Regular and more rigorous test and inspection of rigging components must also be carried out. Safety legislation, and test and inspection
requirements, will vary from country to country. In most cases, annual independent test and inspection by a suitably approved and qual-
ied inspector will be required. Users must ensure compliance with all applicable safety requirements. Carvin recommends regular safety
inspections and further recommends that a logbook be kept detailing the test and inspection history of each Carvin rigging Component.
Always wear protective head-wear, footwear and eye protection in accordance with local regulations. Anyone involved in ying ANY
sound system, especially in a touring capacity, should take note of the following advice:
“ e rigging of a own sound system may be dangerous unless undertaken by qualied personnel with the required
experience and certication to perform the necessary tasks. Fixing of hanging points in a roof should always be carried
out by a professional rigging specialist and in accordance with the local rules of the venue. e house rigger and/or
building manager must always be consulted.”
