19 CHAPTER 5: MTG-1100 PICKUP CONFIGURATIONS The MTG-1100 top grid accommodates a variety of pickup configurations with its six pickup points, three each on the front and rear of the grid. When possible, use the front and rear pickup points to change the tilt of the grid with the front and rear moto...

CHAPTER 5: MTG-1100 PICKUP CONFIGURATIONS 20 THREE PICKUP POINTS The MTG-1100 top grid supports the following configurations with three pickup points. CAUTION: When suspending MTG-1100 arrays from one or two motors, make sure each motor and ceiling pickup point (above the hook) are rated to hold the...

MG-MINA GRID ASSEMBLY GUIDE 21 FOUR PICKUP POINTS The MTG-1100 top grid supports the following configurations with four pickup points. CAUTION: When suspending MTG-1100 arrays from one or two motors, make sure each motor and ceiling pickup point (above the hook) are rated to hold the total weight of...

23 CHAPTER 6: MVP-LEO-M VEE PLATE The optional MVP-LEO-M Vee plate provides ±21 degrees of horizontal rotation for the MTG-1100 top grid. The bottom of the Vee plate attaches to the grid’s rear center attachment point. The top corners of the Vee plate attach to two motors, which, when adjusted, affe...

CHAPTER 8: MCF-1100 CASTER FRAME 28 1100-LFC cabinets equipped with the MRF-1100 rigging kit provide for more secure transport as the bottom cabinet can be linked and pinned to the caster frame (see Figure 2).
