Figure 4.1.5 - VERA LA900 load adapter set to position 25.5 - facing rearward
If the locking pin of the VERA LA900 load adapter is moved from 26 to 25, this results in
a pin point of 25.5.
The chain hoist for this is attached between the VERA RF900 and an additional
VERA SFV36 at the end of the array.
A VERA LA900 must be used for attaching to the VERA RF900.
At the marking "Load adapter for compression mode", fasten the VERA LA900 load
adapter to the flying frame of the VERA20 or VERA36 series from below.
Use both locking pins.

4.2 Compression mode
TIP
Use of the compression mode is recommended for large systems with more than 9 ele-
ments. In this operation mode, all line array elements are connected at 0°; the required
angle settings are only preselected when lifting. When all line array elements are inter-
connected, an additional chain hoist can be used to pull the complete system to the right
angle.
TIP
The VERA LA900 load adapter can also be used at this position for attaching a cable
strain relief for loudspeaker cables.

5. Transport and storage
NOTE
When transporting and storing the load adapter, it is important to ensure that the finish of
the rigging frame is not damaged. Moisture can penetrate into uncoated steel surfaces
(scratches) and cause the metal to corrode.
For this reason, the loudspeakers should be transported and stored in a safe, careful,
dry and largely dust-free manner.
The original packaging is unsuitable as permanent storage and transport packaging.
