6.2 VTX A12 - ANGLE LOCK MECHANISM

The VTX A12 includes an innovative Angle Lock mechanism that automatically engages when the cabinets are suspended and reach
their desired angle positions. The Angle Lock mechanism consists of two main parts, the red Locking lever and the black Lock Release
button.

The system is locked when the red Locking lever is recessed into
the cabinet. When the cabinets are suspended, a sequential lock-
ing sound is heard, indicating that the system has reached its final
position and is locked. The system remains locked until the Angle
Lock mechanism has been released.
To de-rig the system, the Angle Lock mechanism is released so
that the cabinets can collapse again and be set on the VTX A12
VT at a 10-degree angle. Press the black Lock Release Button to
unlock the mechanism.
When the black Lock Release button is pressed, the red Locking
lever is released and moves to its unlocked position. The Lock-
ing lever is spring-loaded and maintains its position until the user
manually changes the mode. The Angle Locks are set to their
unlocked position until the cabinets are attached to the VTX A12
VT and collapsed all the way to 10 degrees.
NOTE: The red Angle Lock levers are used to secure the angle
position and prevent the cabinets from taking a different angle
when cabinets are deployed in an array. The red Angle Lock lever
is not load-bearing, and the system is safe even if they are acci-
dentally left in the unlocked position.
