Satellite Systems
A satellite system is a system where a speaker system with flange is installed on top of a
subwoofer.
The satellite system must always provide enough stability. The subwoofer's base surface
must always be sufficiently dimensioned in relation to the top speaker in order to prevent
tilting over.
The subwoofer and the top speaker must only be connected via an appropriate distance tube
and flange. The carrying capacity of the distance tube must never be exceeded.
A satellite system or a combination of speaker system/speaker stand or speaker
system/stand must only be installed on the ground!
When choosing the installation spot, please make sure that such an installation has to be
installed in a way that no person can enter the area below the system! Make sure that the
respective area is blocked.
An unintended movement of the load has to be avoided - also in case of fire!
The installation is only allowed on carrying areas. In some cases, an appropriate
substructure, e.g. via a balancing foot, has to be created.
The system must never be moved before the top speaker is uninstalled!
When choosing the installation material, optimum dimensions have to be chosen in order to secure
maximum safety.
Installation on a Stand or Speaker Stand
Stands or satellite systems must only be installed on a plane area with a maximum
inclination angle of 5°.
Caution:
Speaker systems installed on stands or satellite systems may cause severe
injuries when crashing!
When using stands or satellite systems under the influence of horizontal forces, e.g.
through wind, the standing safety can be impaired. This is why additional safety
measures like attaching ballast weights have to be taken.
If inclined tension cables or prolonged outriggers are used, the area of danger has to be
marked or even be blocked.
Before lifting or lowering the telescopic tubes, you must always block a safety area
around the stand or satellite system. This safety area must have a diameter of 1.5 times
the maximum height.
Lifted telescopic tubes always have to be secured with a secondary securing!
The total weight of the installation (=total weight of all individual parts) must never exceed
the maximum load of the installation area.
The stand has to be installed out of the reach of people.
An unintended movement of the load has to be avoided - also in case of fire!
The installer is responsible for adhering to the carrying capacity given by the manufacturer, the safety
requirements and the qualification of possible co-workers.
When people are located below the load, all necessary safety measures have to be taken in order to avoid
injury.
The personnel have to be instructed on the content of the user manual and on the dangers related with
operating stands.
