RIGGING / SUSPENSION AND SAFETY
TERMINOLOGY:
The terms “rigging”, “flying” and “suspension” are often used
interchangeably in describing methods of installing loudspeaker systems at elevated
positions.
DANGER:
The loudspeakers described in this manual are designed and intended to be
suspended using a variety of rigging hardware, means, and methods. It is essential that all
installation work involving the suspension of these loudspeaker products be performed by
competent, knowledgeable persons who understand safe rigging practices. Severe injury
and/or loss of life may occur if these products are improperly suspended.
DANGER:
All rigging fittings and OmniMount™ inserts must remain sealed with the
included flat-head allen screws or they must be fitted with properly rated optional mounting
hardware. Any missing fasteners will compromise the structural integrity of the enclosure
and constitute a safety hazard. Do not suspend this loudspeaker unless all fasteners are
securely in place!
COMMUNITY RIGGING HARDWARE WARRANTY:
Community warrants that its
loudspeaker systems and its optional mounting and rigging hardware have been carefully
designed and tested. Community loudspeakers may be safely suspended when each
loudspeaker model is suspended with Community-manufactured optional mounting and
rigging brackets specifically designed for use with that particular model of loudspeaker.
This warranty applies only for use under normal environmental conditions, and when all
loudspeakers, component parts, brackets and hardware are assembled and installed in
strict accordance with Community’s installation guidelines contained herein. Beyond this,
Community assumes no further or extended responsibility or liability, in any way or by any
means whatsoever. It is the responsibility of the installer to insure that safe installation
practices are followed, and that such practices are in accordance with any and all local,
state, federal, or other, codes, conditions, and regulations that may apply to, or govern the
practice of, rigging, mounting, and construction work in the relevant geographic territory.
Any modifications made to any parts or materials manufactured or supplied by Community
shall immediately void all pledges of warranty or surety, related in any way to the safe use
of those parts and materials.
WARNING
- NON-COMMUNITY RIGGING HARDWARE:
Non-Community hardware used
for rigging a VERIS loudspeaker must be certified by the supplier for this use and must be
properly rated for safety.
IMPORTANT NOTES ON RIGGING LOUDSPEAKERS
There are three areas of responsibility for rigging loudspeakers. The first is the building
structure. Always consult with the building architect or structural engineer to assure the
ability of the structure to support the loudspeaker system. The second area of
responsibility is the loudspeaker itself. Community certifies its loudspeaker systems and
rigging accessories for suspension when they are properly installed according to our
published guidelines. The third area of responsibility is everything between the loudspeaker
and the building structure and the actual process of installation. The installing contractor
assumes this responsibility. Loudspeaker rigging should be performed only by certified
rigging professionals using certified rigging hardware chosen for the specific application.
Prior to installation, the contractor should present a rigging plan, with drawing and detailed
parts list, to a licensed structural engineer (P.E.) or architect for written approval.
