The installation of the speaker system has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the
weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net.
This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down
if the main attachment fails.
When rigging, derigging or servicing the speaker system staying in the area below the installation place, on
bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an
expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another
time.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an
expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a
skilled person once a year.
Procedure:
The speaker system should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated. The
speaker system has to be installed out of the reach of people.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to)
calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all
installation material and the speaker system. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation
yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and
or damage to property.
Caution:
Speaker systems in overhead installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you
have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the speaker system!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the speaker
system's weight.
Secondary Attachment
The speaker system must always be secured via appropriate eye bolts and appropriate
safety bonds.
The eyelets must always hold at least 12 times the weight of the speaker systems.
For overhead use, always install a safety bond. You must only use safety bonds
complying with DIN 56927, quick links complying with DIN 56926, shackles complying
with DIN EN 1677-1 and BGV C1 carbines. The safety bonds, quick links, shackles and
the carbines must be sufficiently dimensioned and used correctly in accordance with the latest industrial
safety regulations (e. g. BGV C1, BGI 810-3).
Please note:
For overhead rigging in public or industrial areas, a series of safety instructions have to be
followed that this manual can only give in part. The operator must therefore inform himself on the current
safety instructions and consider them.
The manufacturer cannot be made liable for damages caused by incorrect installations or insufficient safety
precautions!
DANGER TO LIFE!
Please consider the valid standards and national regulation during the installation!
The installation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer!
