Suspending a Speaker with One Mounting Adapter
Installed
WARNING
Risks imposed by falling parts
•
Be sure not to suspend more than one VIDA M 110 / 110 S or VIDA M 220 / 220 S speaker
from a mounting adapter.
•
Note that speakers suspended using a single installed mounting adapter must be placed
vertically and must never be mechanically down-tilted.
•
Make sure all fittings used are suitable for the task at hand and meet all relevant safety
requirements.
•
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.
•
Note that the suspension points on the hall ceiling (i.e. shackles, attachment points, or
chain hoists) must comply with the DGUV regulations 17 (BGV C1) or similar locally appli-
cable accident-control standards. The maximum load must have been certified by an
authorized expert.
•
Also follow the operating and safety instructions supplied with the product you intend to
suspend the VIDA M mounting adapter from (e.g. a truss). Never attach the mounting
adapter 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 en-
tire mass! Make sure that the motor chains hang down vertically and are not twisted, and
that the motors are located at the required positions.
•
Make sure no persons stand in the danger zone below the speakers during setup and
mounting/dismounting.
•
Never use signal cables or power cords for suspending, aligning, or securing the systems.
Risk imposed by swinging loads
•
Remember that speakers being lifted may swing out!
•
Ensure there is sufficient clear space for assembling and suspending the speakers on-site.
•
Permit only personnel directly involved with assembly or disassembly to access the working
area. The person in charge must announce all mounting-adapter lifting and lowering ac-
tivities beforehand and make sure all people attending are aware. In this case, all persons
present must leave the swing and lifting range immediately.
Hazard of falling
•
Never use the VIDA M mounting adapter for lifting or securing persons or objects other
than the above speakers.
•
Implement safeties with not drop distance!
