Product Description

Using these accessories allows for flexible mobile use of all VIDA M speaker types. You can set them up for different applications on a regular and recurring basis.
2.1 Intended Use
To be operated by qualified personnel only.
Unless otherwise stated, use only KLING & FREITAG original parts for mounting.

2.1.1 VIDA M Mounting Adapter
The VIDA M mounting adapter is provided for use with VIDA M 110 / 110 S and VIDA M 220 / 220 S speakers. It is designed for permanent attachment to the speaker and allows for mounting other accessories, thus ensuring flexible mobile use of the speaker.
The VIDA M mounting adapter is not designed for regularly attaching/removing it to/from the speaker. Once installed, be sure to leave the accessory attached to the speaker.
The installation on one side of the speaker allows for recurrent use of the following:

• Eyelets
• Spigot adapter
• Stand adapter (only for the VIDA M 110 / 110 S)

With the above accessories, be sure to use the VIDA M mounting adapter indoors only.
Outdoor use is permitted only after taking appropriate steps (for example additional horizontal bracing at the speaker bottom and providing a structural certification specifically for the application at hand).
When installing mounting adapters on both sides of the speaker, this provides a second handle for safer handling. It also allows the use of a VIDA M Truss Adapter Set.
Any other use as well as any use not described in this User’s Guide is not an intended use.

2.1.2 VIDA M Truss Adapter Set

For using the Truss Adapter Set, you need two VIDA M mounting adapters (sold separately).
Using the VIDA M Truss Adapter Set, you can attach a VIDA M 110 / 110 S or VIDA M 220 / 220 S speaker either vertically or horizontally to a truss or tube with a diameter of approx. 50 mm.
A speaker system installed using this set can be exposed to certain wind loads and therefore be installed outdoors.
Prerequisite is a peak velocity pressure of q = 0.97 kN/m² acting on the speaker. According to the German DIN EN 1991-1-4 standard, this corresponds to wind zone 2 (inland) and a maximum operating height of 25 m above the ground.
Any other use as well as any use not described in this User’s Guide is not an intended use.

2.1.3 VIDA M Connector Panel
The VIDA M connector panel provides ports for power supply, audio, and network signals. It can be mounted to any VIDA M speaker. The panel makes establishing and separating connections simple and is particularly useful in mobile use (for example, with rental applications).
Note that the requirements of the IP65 specifications are met only when using Neutrik True Outdoor Protection (TOP) series connectors.
The installation of the connector panel must be performed by a qualified electrician. We therefore recommend permanent installations.
Any other use as well as any use not described in this User’s Guide is not an intended use.

4.2 Suspending a Speaker with One Mounting Adapter Installed
Risks imposed by falling parts
WARNING

• 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 applicable 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 entire 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.

Care and Maintenance

Risks imposed by falling or overturning parts
WARNING

1. Over time, the accessories may exhibit signs of wear, for example, from mechanical strain, transport damage, corrosion, or improper handling.
   As a basic principle, you must visually inspect the speaker accessory before and after you use it. For fixed installations, you must inspect it for signs of wear at regular intervals.
   When performing those checks, particularly look for deformations, cracks, dents, damage to threads, and corrosion. Also check slings and lifts (e.g. shackles, chains, and steel ropes) carefully for wear and deformation.
   If as a result of these checks any uncertainty should arise with regard to safety or if specific faults are found, stop using the accessories and send in the product to KLING & FREITAG for inspection and repairs, if necessary.
   Inspection regulations may vary depending on application and country of use. Observe all applicable regulations; If in doubt, contact local authorities.
   Many countries require regular inspection of mounting components and accessories. An additional annual inspection is typically required to be performed by a technical expert as per applicable regulations. Moreover, a legally certified or official authority must perform a detailed inspection every four years.
   Therefore, be sure to maintain an inspection log. Enter the values determined for each speaker and accessory during the periodic checks into this log. This way, relevant data are always at hand in case of inspection. This inspection log book shall be updated with the inspection steps, test intervals and parts lists.

2. Clean this speaker accessory regularly using a corrosion-prevention penetrating oil (for example, WD-40).

Transportation and Storage

Store the product in a dry place. Also, transport under dry conditions only.
During prolonged storage, ensure sufficient ventilation.
Avoid vibrations during transport.
Avoid mechanical stress during transport and storage, so the product is not damaged.
