FLY BARS AND ACCESSORIES
The AX800A systems are built to allow the
suspension of array with variable shape and
dimensions. Thanks to a suspension mechanism
designed to be functional, flexible and safe, each
system must be suspended or stacked using the
KPTAX800 or KPTAX800L fly bar. The loudspeakers
are linked together in a column using a series of
couplers integrated in the frame of each enclosure.
Each system is set up properly both acoustically and
mechanically only using the aiming software.
Coupling system in the front does not require
any adjustment: using two locking pins, each
loudspeaker box is fixed to the previous. The slotted
bar in the back is inserted in a U-shaped frame
which features a series of numbered holes. Sliding
the slotted bar in the U-shaped frame of the next
loudspeaker and inserting a locking pin in one of
the numbered holes, it is possible to adjust the
relative splay angle between two adjacent
loudspeakers in the array column.
NOTE: The figures illustrate the KPTAX800
and KPTAX800L usages, these are similar
with the respective load capacity
limitations.
Follow the sequence in the figure for
fixing the fly bar at the first box. Usually
this is the first step before lifting up the
system. Be careful to insert properly all
the locking pins (1)(2) and (3)(4) then the
shackle (5) in the right holes as specified
by the aiming software.
When lifting the system always proceed
gradually step by step, paying attention
to secure the fly bar to the box (and the
box to the other boxes) before pulling up
the system: this makes easier to insert
properly the locking pins. Also when the
system is released down, unlock gradually
the pins. During the lifting be very careful
to not let the cables enter the space
between one enclosure and the other, as
their compression could cut them.
KPTAX800
fly bar maximum capacity is
200 Kg (441 lbs) with the 0° angle. It can
support, with a safety factor of 10:1, up
to:
•
4 AX800A
• KPTAX800 can NOT be used for stacked
array.
