Attaching KIVA to a another element
PROCEDURE B
The rigging procedure used to attach a KIVA enclosure to another KIVA enclosure and to KIBU-SB is similar. The main
difference lies in:
the possibility to choose front or rear position of the enclosure on the bumper (see next page),
the way the angle is defined between two enclosures and between KIBU-SB and the enclosure.
In a
flown
array, the rear position enables reaching a higher positive angle and the front position a higher negative angle.
The site angle of a
stacked
KIVA array is defined by the angle between the KIBU-SB and the enclosure closest to the
bumper. The range of available angles varies depending of the rigging position:
front position: 0°, -1°, -2°.
rear position: +7.5°, +5°, +2.5°, 0°, -2.5°, -3.5°, -4.5°, -5.5°, -6.5°, -7.5°.
Refer to
Figure 1
to choose the hole corresponding to the targeted site angle.

0° site angle for flown arrays
When flying a KIVA array, either as part of a mixed or independent line, always use the
0° rigging hole
.
If any other angle is defined between the bumper and the first enclosure, the LAPTEQ inclinometer (see
APPENDIX A) no longer provides a valid indication regarding the array site angle.
Ground-stacked KIVA with a positive 7.5° site angle
When KIVA is ground-stacked with a positive 7.5° site angle, it is not possible to secure the rigging arm on the
bumper.
Leave the arm in its slot.
However, when KIVA is stacked on SB15m, it is possible to secure the rigging arm on the bumper for all the
angles.
