Rigging Rigging the WideLine Array is simple and flexible. Enclosures are pinned together with quick-release ball-lock pins. The AF218-sw array frame supports flown array applications and can be inverted for ground stack applications. The enclosures can also be ground stacked without a frame using the stacking feet and recesses integral to the enclosure’s design.
