Rigging - Flown Screen

Nail a perfectly level hang—set and level your flybars, clamp and bracket each cabinet, and finger-check flush fronts so the screen looks seamless before you ever power up.

In this setup, we'll show you a flown LED screen. We're going to show you how to hang the cabinets to your fly bars. We're going to focus on the attachment of the cabinets to the fly bars. The rigging in this example will not pertain to your specific installation. For your rigging example, be sure to reference your playbook. There are many rigging varieties, and it all comes down to your specific building and structure. Reference your playbook for the specific instructions of how to attach the fly bars to your structure. With the fly bars, you can see them positioned behind me. Again, we're talking about everything beneath the shackles, so the fly bar and the cabinets will install here. The most important thing when installing a fly bar situation is ensuring that we maintain a level plane across all flybars. Step one with a flown system is installing the flybars to your rigging. After that, maintain level across the entire system. Once we have our flybars level, we'll go ahead and begin to install the cabinets. You'll need an assistant to help hold the cabinet while we attach it to the fly bar. Before you get started, take note on your cabinet the orientation. There's arrows pointing up in the corner of your cabinet, as well as on the hub board. All cabinets need to face up. In your playbook, the cabinet count will dictate whether you're beginning your installation from the center point of your screen or from the outsides. In this case, we're gonna go ahead and start from the right and work our way left. Be sure to find the center point though as you're installing your rigging, as once you begin to hang panels, it will not be possible to adjust your left to right positioning. That needs to be done before any cabinets are attached to your rigging. To install the cabinet to your flybar, simply bring it up so that the pins match the holes on the flybar, and then take your thumb screws and screw them up into the fly bar. Okay. Once you have them firmly tightened by hand, you'll then take the Allen tool and tighten them the rest of the way. We're going to continue the same method all the way down the line. Once we have our first row in, we'll then go down to the next row. With the second cabinet, it's important to work from the top thumbscrews down. When we get to our sides, we need to make sure that the front of the cabinets are completely flush, meaning a smooth, seamless connection between cabinets. Once I feel with my finger that they are smooth, I'll go ahead and tighten the thumbscrews. So what what I found best? One tip is to start at the top and then go all the way to the bottom thumbscrew and then work the middle screws. If you feel a little bit of misalignment or the flatness is not perfectly flat, you may need to adjust the thumbscrew by loosening it, pulling on the two cabinets and making them flat, and then tightening down with the Allen tool while you hold the cabinets in place. As you're installing your cabinets, you'll need to incorporate the included brackets. The brackets are what will tie the cabinets together with reinforcement. You You have your thumb screws that are joining the cabinets, but you also will use a backing bracket behind the cabinet. These simply attach with bolts that are all included within your kit. The square plates will be used for the cabinets that are inside the screen and all the longer plates will be used on the perimeter of the screen. Oh, I gotta there we go. You got that sign? Yep. When installing your hang bars, you'll notice there's two different sizes here. We have a one meter version, which can attach two cabinets to a single fly bar, and we have a half meter version, which can take one cabinet. Most of the installation of your fly bars will be one meters, except for at the very end, where if in your case you have another column that needs to be placed, it will use a half meter. Reference your drawing for the specific placement of your hang bars. So to summarize, the rigging portion when using the flying method is, first, attach your fly bars to the rigging that is attaching to your structure. Next, it's taking the cabinets and either starting from the middle section or one of the sides, depending on what your playbook is calling out for, which is determined by the size of your screen. You'll need to maintain flatness between the fronts of the cabinets. Why that is important is because when the modules are installed, we need an extremely flat surface, so we have a seamless image on the front side. So using your finger and feeling for flatness and adjusting the thumbscrews to maintain that flatness across your entire screen requires that extra moment of detail during installation. Outside of that, make sure on the backside to incorporate those back brackets before you move further into electrical and data. Once your rigging is up and all brackets are installed and all thumbscrews are completely tight, you can then move to the next step of doing electrical and data.
