Choosing the array conﬁguration

Because of the great variety of possible conﬁgurations, AXIOM systems are provided with a software

(LAC) which allows the simulation of the array conﬁguration, therefore calculating the centre of mass

and the anchoring points.

The LAC software simulates the acoustic operation of the array, and deﬁnes the

position of its barycentre and consequently the coupling points for the conﬁguration

chosen. The structural resistance of each component needs to be veriﬁed by the

operator who installs the system, unless the conﬁguration chosen is one of those

advised by the manufacturer. For further details, see the section devoted to load

limits.

Flying bar KPTAX265

Flying bar KPTAX2265 features two possible conﬁgurations for lifting the systems, one anterior (conﬁg-

uration A) and one posterior (conﬁguration B), also referred to as reverse mode.

Mounting operation sequence

According to the correct mounting procedure, the creation of the array has to be started on the ground,

with AX2265P systems on their case boards (case code CP038D04 for 4 AX2265P systems), and then

lifted. All front coupling operations and most of the wiring can be done on the ground. This allows

the quick and easy assembly of the array, without having to worry about taking away the case boards

in this phase. The coupling of all rear cams needs to be carried out during the ascent, as the natural

conformation of the array will ease this phase.
