3.14 Secondary safety
WARNING!
Potential risk of personal injury and/or
damage to material!
The secondary safety suspension must be independent of the
primary suspension points and capable of carrying the total system
weight.
The additional safety device must be mounted in a way that the
array is caught by the safety device without any drop and swing in
the event that the primary suspension fails.
The SL-Series flying frames are equipped with two safety points
[5]
fitted with two 4.75 t shackles to accept a secondary safety
device.
For this purpose, use the d&b Z5705 Safety chain which is
supplied with the flying frames or an appropriate equivalent
according to the specifications which are defined in
Chapter 3.8 "Z5705 Safety chain 4 t" on page 26.
Assembly
1. Before attaching the safety device, ensure the two 4.75 t
shackles
[S] are properly fitted to the Frame's safety points [5]
and secured against loosening using a locked ring cotter
[C],
as shown in the graphic opposite.
2. Attach the safety chain set and ensure the chains are not
twisted and the hooks
[H] are in the right direction, as shown
in the graphic opposite.
3.15 Cabinet rigging mechanism
The cabinets are mechanically connected to the flying frame and
subsequent loudspeakers using the Front links attached to both
sides of the cabinet front and the central Splay/Rear link at the
rear of the cabinet.
All necessary rigging components are mounted to the cabinet and
slide out when needed.
In principle, the Front link mechanism applies to both the TOP and
SUB cabinets. The Front links are spring loaded and therefore
extend automatically as soon as the respective Locking pins are
released and pulled out.
