All the Outline electroacoustic and electronic devices are in accordance with the objects stated by the CEE directives reported at the end of this manual.

The “FRM-GTO-2-UP” assembly is an accessory for the GTO system’s flying bumper and is used to form small arrays of loudspeakers on its top, for “up-fill” duties.

• Compatible Bumpers: FRM-GTO e FRM-GTO2.
- Compatible Loudspeakers: Mantas e Butterfly High-pack (CDH 483).
• Maximum number of elements: 6 (204 kg).

Parts description

The “FRM-GTO-2-UP” assembly is made of:

• two supports (M WLD 105 and M WLD 106) which have to be connected to the flying bumper;
• a pair consisting of a bar, one pin and a spring cotter that has to be conencted to the first element of the “up-fill” cluster.
• the fastening system consists of eight M10 bolts (minimum length: 30 mm, or 1" 1/4), eight M10 nuts and sixteen washers.

Forbidden use

The system must be used according to the instructions provided. Any other use is FORBIDDEN.

Never exceed the stated limits, both in terms of maximum weight, number and type of elements.

Selecting the angle for the first cabinet

The angle of the first box is selectable by putting the mobile bar inside the support and the pin in the corresponding hole. The available angles are from 0° (same bumper angle) to 3° upward.

CAUTION:

In order to minimize the roll-over risk, it is NECESSARY to hang the bumper from at least three points (two on the front and one on the rear) and connect at least one GTO element underneath the bumper, as a counterweight.

ISTRUZIONI DI MONTAGGIO / INSTRUCTIONS

1) Connessione al frame

1) Bumper connection

After choosing the frame position, connect the two elements on the top of the bumper on its backside, using the M10 screws, nuts and washers.

If you are using Mantas loudspeakers, in order to simplify the following mounting steps, place the supports with the labels towards the inside the frame. Otherwise, if you are using Butterfly loudspeakers, towards the outside.

Check the alignment of the two blocks with the structure, push them towards the bumper's rear in order to ensure that the bolts are properly located within their respective holes.

Tighten each bolt via two adequate wrenches (17 mm or 11/16").

Blocks' labels towards the inside when using Mantas.

Blocks' labels towards the outside when using Butterfly.

Select the angle for the first loudspeaker and place the two bars towards the block's back, as indicated in the following picture, in order to not interfere with the next steps.

Check that both bars are set to the same angle.

ISTRUZIONI DI MONTAGGIO / INSTRUCTIONS

3) Front connection of the first loudspeaker.

Put the first loudspeaker on the frame, align its side hardware with the corresponding hole on the bumper's crossbeam.

Insert the side links, as normally used during the normal Mantas and Butterfly rigging.

Check that the loudspeaker is well-placed and that the safety latch is in the normal working position for each side.

4) Rear connection of the first loudspeaker.

Unlock and pull one of the two pins on the loudspeaker's back, rotate the box in order to place the mobile bar and release the pin.

Repeat the step on the other side.

Check that the system is stable.

ISTRUZIONI DI MONTAGGIO / INSTRUCTIONS

5) Preparation for the following connection.

Retract only half-way one of the two back pins and insert the link bar with the correct pre-selected angle.

Repeat the step on the other side.

Check that the two bars have the same angle set.

6) Front connection of the second loudspeaker.

Place the second loudspeaker on the first one aligning the side hardware.

Insert the lateral bars on both sides.

Check that the loudspeaker is well-placed and that the safety latch is in the normal working position for each side.

ISTRUZIONI DI MONTAGGIO / INSTRUCTIONS

7) Rear connection of the second loudspeaker.

Unlock and pull one of the two pins on the loudspeaker's back, rotate the box in order to place the rear angle bar and release the pin.

Repeat the steps from 5 to 7 for all the following boxes, in order to set up the complete system (maximum six loudspeakers), respecting the splay angles defined in the project.
