Product code: 101810 

 

Curved Installation 

You can create a curved setup with multiple devices. The Alpha series 3.9i LED screen can be placed in 
a curved setup at -5°, 5°, and 10° angle. For more information about curved installation of the rigging 
bar, see the user manual of the Single Rigging Bar/ Double Rigging Bar (101820/101821). 

To create a curved setup of multiple LED screens, follow the steps below: 

 

Turn the top vertical locking handle (09) 360° counterclockwise to unlock the inclination mechanism, 
as shown in Fig. 51. 

 

Turn the top triangular screw (07) counterclockwise to set the angle, as shown in Fig. 52–53. There are 
4 options available: -5°, 0°, 5°, 10°, as shown in Fig. 55–58. 

 

Turn the top vertical locking handle (09) 360° clockwise to lock the inclination mechanism (08), as 
shown in Fig. 54.  

 

Repeat steps 1–4 for the bottom locking handle (09) of the LED screen.
