This product is intended for installation by professional installers only!
This document is intended to provide professional installers with basic
installation and safety guidelines for this product in typical fixed-installation or portable-system applications. Please read this document and all safety
warnings before attempting installation.
WARNINGS:
•
All Bose
®
products must be installed in accordance with local, state, federal and industry regulations. It is the installer’s responsibility to
ensure installation of the loudspeakers and mounting system is performed in accordance with all applicable codes, including local building
codes and regulations. Consult the local authority having jurisdiction before installing this product.
•
Unsafe mounting or overhead suspension of any heavy load can result in serious injury or death, and property damage. It is the
responsibility of the installer to evaluate the reliability of any mounting method used for their application. Only professional installers with
the knowledge of proper hardware and safe mounting techniques should attempt to install any loudspeaker overhead.
CAUTION:
•
Installed loudspeaker arrays require regular inspection and routine maintenance to ensure proper function and
safe operation. Inspect mounting hardware and attachments for signs of corrosion, bending or any other condition that may decrease the
structural integrity. Immediately replace worn or damaged components.
•
Do not make unauthorized alterations to this product; doing so may compromise safety, regulatory compliance, system performance, and
may void the warranty.
NOTE:
Always use Bose Modeler
®
or Bose Array Tool software to confirm safe working load limits with exact array configurations, pitch angles, and
connection points.
Guidelines for Installation and Setup of ShowMatch Array Module Loudspeakers
The installation information contained in this document is only a general guideline and cannot, as such, represent all requirements and precautions.
Accordingly, anyone using this material assumes all liability and is expressly responsible for the safety of all loudspeaker array designs and mounting
configurations applied in practice.
•
Prior to the installation or portable-system setup of any overhead loudspeaker, a licensed professional engineer must approve the location and method
of attachment to the building structure or support-truss structure and confirm they are consistent with all building codes and regulations. Ensure the
mounting surface and the method of attaching the loudspeaker system to the surface is capable of supporting the total weight of the system. A safety
factor of 10:1 is recommended.
•
Obtain all mounting system components from reputable manufacturers. Select a mounting system appropriate for your loudspeaker system and
its intended application. We recommend Bose mounting accessories when available. A licensed professional engineer must review the design and
fabrication of any custom mounting hardware.
•
Do not suspend loudspeaker using handles as attachment points. Handles are NOT designed for load bearing!
•
Use a safety cable, separately attached to the cabinet, at a point not in common with the load bearing attachment points of the mounting system to
the loudspeaker. This is recommended even if not required by local regulation. Consult a licensed professional engineer or a rigging professional for
proper design and installation.
•
Do not under any circumstances climb the array.
