Fbt 38591, Operating Manual

Page: 50 / 60

> Use skilled staff only
Operations to be avoided:
> Do not use unskilled staff
> Do not hang anything before reading the manual
> Do not use non-original spare parts
> Never exceed load limits
> Do not use damaged or worn materials
> Inspect the hanging material before every use
> Ensure all locking devices are perfectly fitted
An improper use of the array suspension system may cause major damage to persons and things.
The configurations suggested by this manual were verified through computer modelling and operational testing; even in
recommended configurations, before hanging any MODUS system check the relevant load limits.
> Observe all laws, local and national regulations about safety of installations
Special attention was paid to the selection of materials and the manufacturing so as to permit high safety levels. The staff in
charge of hanging the array system must be skilled and qualified; the installer/user will be responsible of ascertaining limits
and lifting procedures for the structures to which the array will be attached.
> Ensure the capacity of lifting points and devices is greater than the load to be lifted
Operations to be carried out:
> Hang the system to the attachment points indicated in the manual
CONFIGURATIONS
The software is available for download at AFMG website: focus.afmg.eu
EASE FOCUS is a software that permits an accurate simulation of the mechanical and acoustic behaviour of the line array system. The
simulation algorithm is based on measurements taken on single modules; it is possible to set the number of areas for sound reproduction,
the number of speakers, angles and levels relating to speakers and simulation parameters. It is also possible to check the attachment
position of the flybar and the anchoring points of the system in relation to the maximum loads allowed. The software is an instrument that
allows to immediately choose the best system configuration and proves suitable for both the experienced installer and the less experienced
user thanks to its automatic calculation feature.
EASE FOCUS acoustic model for the MODUS system is available on FBT website: www.fbt.it.
FBT accepts no responsibility for any damage to people or objects if these instructions are not complied with or if the safety factor
of all elements related to system suspension are not properly checked.
FBT will also place at your disposal a software which helps calculating the safety factor of the weakest point of unit suspension system
according to the used configuration.
Follow these steps for a correct installation:
- With the mechanical configuration parameters obtained, calculate the safety factor of unit suspension system
- Check that the safety factor calculated falls within the range allowed by the standards and safety regulations in force in the country of
installation
- Use the EASE FOCUS software to simulate the configuration suitable for the environment where the sound is to be reproduced considering
SPL intensity and distribution in the audience
