Rigging procedures
Array removal
About this task
All along the procedure:
Strictly follow the sequence of the successive steps.
Systematically verify that each BLP is fully inserted.
For clarity purposes the loudspeaker cable removal procedure will not be described.
The loudspeaker cables will not be represented on the gures.
Procedure
1.
Detach both safety slings from the KARA-MINIBU.
2.
Lower the array to a height for which the angle arms of ARRAY#2 are within comfortable reach.
3.
If the array to disassemble has been own in pullback conguration, separate the KARA-PULLBACK from the bottom
Kara as follows:
a) Lower the pullback chain so as to release tension and detach the motor hook or stinger from the shackle.
b) While holding the KARA-PULLBACK, remove the four Kara bottom R-BLP from their
link
holes and re-insert them
into their
storage
holes.
c) Remove the KARA-PULLBACK.
4.
With 2 people working simultaneously on each side of ARRAY#2, set the inter-enclosure angles to 0° as follows:
a) While grabbing the back handle of KARA#6, remove the KARA#5 rear top R-BLP from its angle hole.
b) Rotate KARA#5 so as to align the cursor of the angle arm with angle label 0°.
c) Lock KARA#5 in place by re-inserting the R-BLP into angle hole 0°/2°/4°.
d) Repeat the procedure for KARA#6.
5.
Bring an empty Kara ight-case to the rigging location, remove the lid, and place the tray beneath ARRAY#2.
Pay attention to the tray position: both wedges must slope upwards from front to rear (refer to
(p.25)).
6.
Lower the array slightly higher than the tray.
7.
With 2 people working simultaneously on each side of the array, disconnect the rear link points between ARRAY#1
and ARRAY#2 as follows:
a) While grabbing the back handle of KARA#5, remove the KARA#3 rear bottom R-BLP from its
link
hole and re-
insert it into its
storage
hole.
b) Rotate ARRAY#2 downwards and position the rear corners into the tray while still suspended from the front link
points.
c) Remove the KARA#4 rear top R-BLP from its angle hole, slide the angle arm so as to align the cursor with the
storage label, and re-insert the R-BLP into its
storage
hole.
