SAFETY PREACAUTIONS
POTENTIAL RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY
Never stand in the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers driven
at a high level. Professional loudspeaker systems are capable
of causing a sound pressure level detrimental to human health.
Seemingly non-critical sound levels can cause hearing damage if
people are exposed to it over a long period.
In order to prevent accidents when deploying loudspeakers on
the ground or when flown, please take note of the following:
• When setting up the loudspeakers or loudspeaker stands,
make sure they are standing on a firm surface. If you place
several systems on top of one another, use straps to secure
them against movement
• Only use accessories which have been tested and approved
by FBT for assembly and mobile deployment. Pay attention
to the correct application and maximum load capacity of the
accessories as detailed in our “Rigging Manual”
•
Ensure that all additional hardware, fixings and fasteners used
for installation or mobile deployment are of an appropriate
size and load safety factor
• Regularly check the loudspeaker housings and accessories
for visible signs of wear and tear, and replace them when
necessary
• Regularly check all load bearing bolts in the mounting devices
POTENTIAL RISK OF MATERIAL DAMAGE
Loudspeakers produce a static magnetic field even if they are not
connected or are not in use. Therefore make sure when erecting
and transporting loudspeakers that they are nowhere near
equipment and objects which may be impaired or damaged by an
external magnetic field.
