Suspension Hardware Inspection & Maintenance

Suspension systems are comprised of mechanical devices and, as such, they require regular inspection and routine 

maintenance to ensure proper function ability. The Crown VRack must be inspected for fatigue at least annually. The inspection 

shall include a visual survey of all corners and load-bearing surfaces for signs of cracking, water damage, de-lamination, or 

any other condition that may decrease the strength of the power amplifier rack enclosure. Accessory suspension hardware 

provided with or for the Crown VRack must be inspected for fatigue at least annually. The inspection shall include a visual 

material survey for signs of corrosion, bending or any other condition that may decrease strength of the fastener. For other 

fittings used, refer to the manufacturer’s inspection and maintenance guidelines for process.

Crown is not responsible for the application of its products for any purpose or the misuse of this information for any purpose. 

Furthermore, Crown is not responsible for the abuse of its products caused by avoiding compliance with inspection and 

maintenance procedures or any other abuse. Prior to suspending the system, an expert trained and experienced in flying 

loudspeaker and power amplifier systems should inspect all suspension parts and components.

Safe Suspension

The Crown VRack is equipped with integral suspension hardware and should only be suspended using the supplied 

equipment. The system is designed to facilitate the suspension of the VRacks by a qualified person familiar with suspension 

hardware and industry practices. Improper installation may result in damage, injury or death.

Working Load Limit

The working load limit (WLL) for any group of VRack products is noted on the appropriate VRack Array Frame. If interested in 

suspending your VRacks, contact your local Crown representative for information on ordering VRack Suspension Frame.

VRack Power Distribution Overview

The VRack Power Distribution panel offers worldwide use capabilities as well as multiple AC operations when used with 

120VAC input.  This power distribution system allows 120VAC input to 120VAC output, 120VAC input to 208VAC output when 

used with 3 phase power, 220VAC – 240VAC input to 220VAC – 240VAC output.  It also features a 32A per circuit, 3-pole, 

single-throw breaker as well as an LCD readout that indicates AC Voltage.     Built-in +5V and +12V outputs power the VRack’s 

built-in network switch and rear rack lighting features.  Combine this worldwide capable power distro with the I-Tech HD’s 

Universal, Power-Factor-Corrected Power Supply and the VRack can be used anywhere in the world.      

Hubbell L21-30 U.S. Operation

Hubbell L21-30 12 120VAC Operation  

Switch position “Input Twistlock, Output US/120” provides the user with 120V 

operation to the I-Tech HD amplifiers in the rack.  From an external power 

distribution system, send 3 phase 120VAC power to the X, Y, and Z pin of the 

Hubbell connector and the VRack will operate in 120V mode.  Each I-Tech HD 

amplifier will see a dedicated X, Y, or Z phase to the line input, neutral, and 

Ground connection.

Amp 1 = X, Neutral, and GND

Amp 2 = Y, Neutral, and GND

Amp 3 = Z, Neutral, and GND

Hubbell L21-30 208VAC Operation

Switch Position “Input Twistlock, Output US/208” provides the user with 

208VAC operation to the I-Tech HD amplifiers in the rack.  From an external 

power distribution system, send 3 phase 120VAC power to the X, Y, and Z 

pin of the Hubbell connector and the VRack will operate in 208V mode.  Each 

I-Tech HD amplifier will see a dedicated line-to-line and ground connection 

resulting in the VRack operating in 208VAC mode.

Amp 1 = X, Y, and GND

Amp 2 = Y, Z, and GND

Amp 3 = X, Z, and GND
