Rigging system description

With K3i-RIGBAR as the main lifting accessory, K3i-ENDLINK is required on the top enclosure.

Secure K3i-RIGBAR at the front for a positive initial site angle.

T40

7 N.m

With K3i-RIGBAR as the main lifting accessory, CLAMP250 can be used to hang an array from a truss. If a pullback is

implemented, CLAMP250 cannot be used on the bottom K3i-RIGBAR. Refer to the

CLAMP250 owner's manual

for

more information.

Maximum limit with CLAMP250

CLAMP250 has a WLL (Working Load Limit) of 250 kg / 550 lb. It can support an array of up to 6 K3i. For an

hybrid array, check the total weight of the array in Soundvision.

When using K3i-RIGBAR as the main lifting accessory, always implement a secondary safety using available

holes.
