  • Page 3 KF760 Series Rigging Procedures PRELIMINARY DRAFT -- 21 Aug 01 CONNECTING PINS Two types of connecting pins are used with a KF760 array. The 1-1/4 inch or short connecting pins are used for all enclosure to enclosure and enclosure to Fly-Bar connections. The 4 inch or long connecting pins are used to connect Fly-Bar components together and secure the casters to the caster pallets.

    TO PULL-BACK OR NOT TO PULL-BACK The KF760 Wizard will show where the Spreader Bar must be positioned for the correct down tilt angle for the entire array. If this angle is beyond what is possible by positioning the Spreader Bar, the Wizard will indicated a pull-back is needed.
  • Page 5 IMPORTANT NOTE FOR SPLAYED ENCLOSURES: Two of the six short connecting pins supplied with each KF760 and KF761 are intended as hinge locking pins when the rear of the enclosures are splayed and the Pull-Back Bar is used. Normally gravity keeps the rears of splayed enclosures apart, thus maintaining the splay.
  • Page 6 3. If the Fly-Bar was transported attached to palleted KF760s then attach the chain motors to the Fly-Bar and skip the next steps. 4. If the Fly-Bar was transported un-attached from a KF760 pallet then attach the chain motors to the assembled Fly-Bar and perform the next two steps (not shown): 1.
  • Page 7 This prevents the hinge from moving back down into its own Hinge Tube when an upward force is applied to the rear of the enclosure. When enclosures are tight-packed, the hinge locking pin is not needed. KF760 Series Rigging Procedures PRELIMINARY DRAFT -- 21 Aug 01 Page 6 of 29...
  • Page 8 Hinge Tubes. 8. Fly the first four enclosures to an appropriate working height for the next step and push the KF760 pallet aside. Later this will be used as a KF761 rigging aid.
  • Page 9 4. Ensure that all hinges on the front of the enclosures are positioned and locked so that enclosure fronts will be tight-packed when flown. KF760 Series Rigging Procedures PRELIMINARY DRAFT -- 21 Aug 01 Page 8 of 29...

  • Page 11 NOTE: It may be advantageous to push the palleted KF760s forward as they mate with the flown enclosures. This will help prevent the front of the flown enclosures from pivoting on the front of the palleted enclosures and tipping forward.

Remove the KF761 from the pallet and place flat on a KF760 pallet (removed above from the KF760s) with the rear of the enclosure to the high side. Align the stacking pads on the bottom of the enclosure with the slots in the top of the pallet rails.

  • Page 16 NOTE: When connecting a KF760 enclosure and a KF761 enclosure together, always use the second hole in the KF760 Hinge tube for connecting the KF761. This sets the splay angle between the acoustic axis of the KF760 and KF761 at 9¡. This provides the correct acoustic integration between these two enclosures.
