Flying multiple TCS-56/59 enclosures
TCS-56 and TCS-59 cabinets are equipped with a total of nine internal rigging points on the top, bottom and sides. The threaded rigging points are comprised of steel angle brackets which also serve to tie the top panel of the cabinet to the sides, and the sides to the bottom panel of the cabinet. Therefore when flown the load is taken through the rigging points, and not through the joints between the cabinet panels, resulting in safe and efficient flying procedures.
The rigging points are utilised by removing the captive countersunk bolts from the cabinet fittings and replacing them with either standard shoulder eyebolts or regular hex- head bolts, which also serve to secure the cabinets to the fly bars. Setting the desired horizontal splay angles is achieved by the positioning of these bolts within the indented slots – marked in degrees – machined into the fly bars.
The TCS-40 downfill enclosure may be flown underneath a TCS-56/59 array by attaching a further steel yoke (SB-40) which permits variable downward inclination as well as serving to tie the TCS-56/59 cabinets together.
Four flying component assemblies enable the installer to assemble flown arrays with horizontal coverage angles from approximately 70° up to 180°, with or without downfill coverage. These are:
•FB-550/2(1 x TP-55/2 and 1 x BP-55/2) to fly a single row of 2 TCS-56/59 enclosures
•FB-550/3(1 x TP-55/3 and 1 x BP-55/3) to fly a single row of 3 TCS-56/59 enclosures
•FB-554/2(1 x TP-55/2 and 1 x SB-40) to fly a single row of 2 TCS-56/59 enclosures plus TCS-40 downfill
•FB-554/3(1 x TP-55/3 and 1 x SB-40) to fly a single row of 3 TCS-56/59 enclosures plus TCS-40 downfill
All the flying bar assemblies are designed to accommodate only one (horizontal) row of enclosures. They have not been designed to fly additional rows of TCS enclosures and should not be used for this purpose.
The key elements in flying arrays of TCS series enclosures are laser-cut steel fly bars manufactured by Turbosound which form the basis of simple, unobtrusive and versatile flying bar assemblies to enable the rigging of 2-wide and 3-wide TCS-56/59 clusters using the minimum of additional accessories and hardware. This allows the formation of arched arrays with adjustable angles up to a maximum of 180º horizontal coverage angle.
