The following arrays (maximum configurations) fulfil the stipulations of the BGV C1 with
their given design:
Maximum number of flown speakers:
•
SEQUENZA 10 N and SEQUENZA 10 W:
Arrays of up to 13 speakers and a flying frame inclination less than +/- 4°.
•
SEQUENZA 10 B:
Arrays of up to 12 speakers.
•
SEQUENZA 10 N/W combined with SEQUENZA 10 B:
For combined arrays consisting of SEQUENZA 10 N/W and SEQUENZA 10 B, a special
verification with the CON:SEQUENZA simulation software is mandatory.
If these angles or the number of speakers is exceeded, it is mandatory that you separately
verify the array with the CON:SEQUENZA simulation software. CON:SEQUENZA
Ensure that all connections are secured against coming loose and that only authorized,
statically tested and correctly sized supports, mounting equipment, wire ropes and chains are
used.
Follow the relevant specified safety factors. The safety factors (SF) are stated on the back
of the speakers and they comply with the BGV C1. Be sure to follow the relevant national
specifications, norms, and safety regulations.
Note that every suspension point as well as the supporting structure of the building (i.e.
ceiling points, cross beams and stage or PA tower, etc.) must be capable of carrying the total
load of the system (including cabling and additional fittings).
Note that the suspension points on the hall ceiling (i.e. shackles, attachment points, or
chain hoists) must comply with the DGUV regulations 17 and 18 or similar locally applicable
accident-control standards. The maximum load must have been certified by an authorized
expert. When in doubt, request a confirmation by local authorities.
Also follow the operating and safety instructions supplied with the product you intend to
suspend the flying frame from (e.g. a truss). Never mount the flying frame to a product if
there is no information on safe use and maximum load.
Even with two-fall suspension, each chain and motor must be capable of carrying the entire
array mass! Make sure that the motor chains hang down vertically and are not twisted, and
that the motors are located at the required positions.
When operating with chain hoists that do not comply with the BGV C1 or the D8+, no one
may be present in the danger zone underneath or near the speaker array.
Secure the array from falling with a second independent safety fitting if no BGV C1 or D8+
motor is used.
Never use signal cables or power cords for suspending, aligning, or securing the systems. Run
the cables in a way that nobody can trip over them.
Ensure there is sufficient clear space for assembling and suspending the array on-site.
Remember that the array may swing out wide!
Permit only personnel directly involved with assembly or disassembly to access the working
area. The person in charge must announce all flying frame lifting and lowering activities
beforehand and make sure all people attending are aware. In this case, all persons present
must leave the swing and lifting range immediately.
Never use the flying frame for lifting or safeguarding persons or objects other than the
above speakers.
Never use an array as a climbing aid.
The safe use of the flying frame and the speakers also depends on the various factors present
at the area of use. Weather conditions such as wind or rain, for example, can compromise
the safety of the flying frame and speakers. Always consider and evaluate these factors. (See
chapter 'Wind Loading' on page 16.)
