XSL Rigging components
3.11 Ring cotters
In connection with the SL-Series rigging system, ring cotters are
used for the following items to prevent the respective item from
slackening and/or loosening:
▪ Fixing bolt of the shackles attached to the Load beam and
safety points of the Flying frame.
▪ Fixing bolt of the Flying frame's Rear link and Rear link adapter.
▪ Fixing bolt of the shackle attached to the Compression frame.
▪ Fixing bolt of the shackles attached to the Aiming plate.
Function of the ring cotter
By default, the ring cotters are "locked" to prevent them from
loosening.
For modification reasons such as altering a position or exchanging
a rigging component, it may be necessary to temporarily remove
the ring cotter and reattach it afterwards.
Note: Please also refer to
For this purpose, proceed as follows:
1.
Unlock
Unlock the ring cotter by pushing up the front wire loop over
the straight wire shaft.
2.
Release and remove
Push down the rear wire loop until the ring cotter snaps over
the edge of the bolt and remove the ring cotter.
3.
Refit and lock
Refit the ring cotter by pushing the straight wire shaft through
the hole and pressing the front wire loop underneath the
straight wire shaft.
3.12 Cabinet rigging mechanism
The cabinets are mechanically connected to the Flying frame and
subsequent loudspeakers using the Front links attached to both
sides of the cabinet front and the central Splay/Rear link at the
rear of the cabinet.
All necessary rigging components are mounted to the cabinet and
slide out when needed.
In principle, the Front link mechanism applies to both the TOP and
SUB cabinets. The Front links are spring loaded and therefore
extend automatically as soon as the respective Locking pins are
released and pulled out.
