CHAPTER 7
This rigging capability allows all of the 600-HPs to be posi-
tioned at 0 degrees in relation to each other and to the MG-
MICA grid, while introducing the desired angle to the MICA
array using the GuideALinks on the lowest 600-HP enclo-
sure — without needing to adjust the angle of the remaining
600-HPs or the MG-MICA grid.

Ground-stacked
When MICAs are ground-stacked above the 600-HP, the
GuideALinks in MICA allow the same combinations as when
a MICA is linked with another MICA but it will create uptilt
instead of downtilt. The use of the +7 position on the front
GuideALink is not recommended.

NOTE: The optional MDTL-MICA downtilt
link can be used between the top 600-HP
and the first MICA in the ground-stacked array to
add a fixed amount of downtilt to the MICA section.

Assembly Guide (part number 05.147.034.01).
