RIGGING SAFETY
IMPORTANT:
The loudspeakers described in this manual are designed
and intended to be mounted to differing building surfaces using a
variety of rigging hardware, means and methods. Installation of loudspeakers
should only be performed by trained and qualified personnel. It is strongly
recommended that a licensed and certified professional structural engineer
approve the mounting plan. Severe injury and/or loss of life, and property
damage may occur if these products are improperly installed.
DANGER:
All rigging fittings must be fully tightened and secured. Any
missing fasteners will compromise the structural integrity of the
enclosure and constitute a safety hazard. Do not suspend any loudspeakers
unless all fasteners are securely in place!
ACCEPTABLE MOUNTING POINT LOADING
The mounting points should always be used so that either shear force is applied
perpendicular to the direction of and in tight proximity to the mounting hole,
or tension force is applied perpendicular to the enclosure surface.
DANGER:
Use the mounting points only as described above. Do not use
them in such a way as to apply sideways leverage to them. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in immediate failure of the mounting points
resulting in damage to the loudspeaker and serious injury or death to personnel.
WARNING:
I SERIES rigging fittings
are rated at a Working Load Limit
(WLL) of 225 lbs (102.1 kg) with a 10:1
safety margin. No single rigging fitting
should ever be subjected to a load that is
greater than this stated limit. Failure to
heed this warning could result in injury or
death!
ATTACH SAFETY CABLE
Attach a safety cable to one of
the unused mounting points.
The safety cable and hardware
are not included. Please consult
a structural engineer for the
appropriate cable and hardware
for the load and application. The
safety cable must be secured
to a suitable load-bearing point
separate from the loudspeaker
mounting point, with as little
slack as possible, so as not to
develop undue kinetic force if the
loudspeaker mount were to fail.
IMPORTANT:
The M10 flat-head hex-drive rigging screws that come installed in
each enclosure must either be replaced with rigging brackets and threaded
fasteners, or they must be kept in place to seal the enclosure from air leaks. If the rigging
fittings do not remain sealed, air leaks will occur in the enclosure that will compromise the
low-frequency performance with distortion, reduced output, and premature driver failure.
