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.
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.
The speaker-system has to be installed out of the reach of people.
Caution:
Speaker-systems in hanging 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.
For overhead use, always install a safety-rope that can hold at least 12 times the weight of the fixture. You
must only use safety-ropes with quick link with screw cap. Pull the safety-rope through the attachment eyelet
on the speaker-system and over the trussing system or a safe fixation spot. Insert the end in the quick link
and tighten the safety screw.
The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20 cm.
A safety rope which already hold the strain of a crash or which is defective must not be used again.
DANGER TO LIFE!
Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be approved by an expert!
Stacking
DANGER!
This speaker-system must never be stacked - Danger to Life due to crashing speaker-systems!
This speaker-system may only be installed on the floor or appropriate stage elements etc.
