When To Move The Locking Pins To The "Stow Pin" Position - Meyer Sound LEO-M Operating Instructions Manual

CHAPTER 4: QUICKFLY RIGGING
flown with downtilt, the resulting splay angles could
be negative because of the gaps in the links and pins
that facilitate easy pinning.
NOTE: The splay angles listed on the GuideA-
Link labels are for relative angles between the
center axes of the linked units. For example, setting
the GuideALinks to 5 degrees yields a 5-degree down-
tilt of the lower unit to the upper unit. How the loud-
speakers relate to the floor, stage, and seating angles
in the venue depends on the orientation of the grid, the
angles of the loudspeakers in the array above them,
and other factors. MAPP prediction software should
be used to calculate optimum splay angles for loud-
speakers and to predict coverage patterns for arrays.

Angle (Yellow)
Sets splay angles for
cabinets when stack is
on ground.
Locking (Blue)
Locks splay angles for
cabinets after stack is
lifted.
0° / TRANSPORT
Locks cabinets for safe trans-
port in caster frame. Can also
be used when attaching top
cabinet to grid.
Stow Pin
Move locking pins here for safe-
keeping before lifting or lower-
ing the stack. This allows splay
angles to expand and contract.
Never put the blue locking pins
in your pocket.

WHEN TO MOVE THE LOCKING PINS TO THE
"STOW PIN" POSITION
The quick-release pins in the blue LOCKING positions must
be moved to the STOW PIN position before either lifting or
lowering an array. The removal of the quick-release pins
from the LOCKING positions allows the splay angles to
expand and contract when assembling and disassembling
the array. Moving the pins to the STOW PIN position also
keeps them handy so they won't be dropped or misplaced.
TIP: Resist the urge to put the blue locking pins
in your pocket. Instead place them in the STOW
PIN position before lifting or lowering the array.
