If the HiSpeed setup was delivered assembled, proceed to chapter: Rigging the HiSpeed Reveal.
Place the Coupling Spider on the coupling jaw of the motor.
Align the coupling jaw of the Truss Roller with the coupling jaw of the motor, and insert the Conical Couplers of the Truss Roller into the Motor Truss.
Ensure that the coupling jaw of the motor and the Truss Roller are aligned. If they are not aligned, rotate the Truss Roller until they fit.
Insert a Pin into each of the four holes in the motor, and hammer the Pins in to secure all Conical Couplers.
Insert a Safety Clip in all four holes of the Pins.
For extra information and details about the electrical wiring and connectors, refer to the Technical Data Sheet of the HiSpeed Reveal.
Plug the Power Supply Extension Cable into the motor.
Plug the Emergency Stop Cable into both the Emergency Stop and the motor. The Emergency Stop Cable can be extended with additional Emergency Stop Cables if required.
The Emergency stop has a blue LED that lights up when it is connected and working. If he blue LED is not on, the Emergency Stop hasn’t been properly connected or is engaged. Disengage the Emergency Stop or check if all plugs are fully secured and connected.
Connect any additional Emergency Stops to the first Emergency stop as needed.
Plug the Network Cable into the motor and a laptop.
Plug the Power Supply Cable into the motor. The Power Supply Cable can be extended with Power Extension Cables if required.
Plug the Power Supply Cable into the Remote.
Ensure that all plugs are in their locked position. Ulocked cables may result in poor contact or no contact. If any plugs are not locked, insert the plug fully and twist to secure it.
Cables without a locking function should be securely taped to prevent poor contact or disconnection when the HiSpeed Reveal is hoised onto the truss.
Provide the rigging points that are required for your setup on the HiSpeed Reveal and the truss.
The nuts and wingnuts of the Turn Couplers should be fully tightened before hoisting.
Hoist the HiSpeed Reveal to eye level for easy access.
For more information about the correct rigging points for each setup, refer to the Technical Data Sheet.
When using 1 Flange in your setup, position it in the center while placing the unused Flange to the side.
When using 2 Flanges in your setup, position both of them at 1/3 of the Roller width. Each Flange uses a different RibCord.
Loosen the set screws of the Flanges and move them to the desired position according to your setup.
Tighten the set screws once the Flanges are correctly positioned. When using 2 Flanges, make sure they are properly aligned.
Insert the RibCord into the Flange.
Tie a bowline knot to secure the RibCord to the Flange.
To observe the RibCord’s rolling direction, navigate to
Reference move. Press the
✔ key to enter the menu and hold the
▲ key to execute a reference move with the
roller.
The status should display STS: Ready.
If not, check whether the Emergency Stop Unit has been disengaged.
The RibCord should roll up towards the backside of the axle. If
not, navigate to
Config > Motion > Invert motion. Use
the + key to select “On” and validate with
the ✔ key.
Navigate back to Reference move.
Press and hold the ▲ key to ensure the
RibCord now rolls up towards the backside of the axle.
For safety reasons, the RibCord should have 5 safety turns on the
roller. Navigate to Reference move, press
and hold the ▲ key to activate the roller
and perform at least 5 turns.
The HiSpeed Reveal is now completely prepared to hoist it to the correct location for the reveal.
Make sure the HiSpeed Reveal remains accessible for testing by providing an elevator or platform.
Navigate to Reference move. Press
and hold the ▲ key to roll up the RibCord
to the required length based on your setup.
Mark the RibCord with a piece of tape where it meets the bottom of the Truss.
Your HiSpeed Reveal is now completely installed and ready to configure!
