Safety Instructions

WARNING
Risks imposed by falling or overturning parts

Be sure to install, suspend, fasten, and use Kling & Freitag speaker accessories only using the designated fixtures as specified in this document.
Be sure to use only the screws supplied with the speaker for mounting accessories. The screws are specifically designed for accessory mounting. Be sure to use self-locking screws no more than five times. Using them more often may result in screws loosening in operation. If in doubt, use new screws. Never use other types of screws.
During installation, be sure to cordon off the installation site to prevent any risks caused by falling parts.
Safety Instructions for Suspending the Speakers
Suspended loads pose a safety risk.
All installation works including suspension as well as ceiling mount to be performed by qualified event technicians or appropriately trained persons.
Only qualified technicians are permitted to perform the installation steps. Be sure to use personal protective equipment at all times.
Be sure to have all works carried out by untrained hands checked and approved by a qualified expert.
The technicians installing the speaker on site are responsible for and guarantee safe setup and use.
Installing and dismounting the speaker system requires two persons or a suitable lift for carrying and handling.
Before installing, check the stability, strength, and materials of walls, ceilings, and boarding. For example, always use appropriate wall anchors for panels and check for sufficient strength.
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.
Be sure to tighten all bolts and screws to the specified torque.
Unless otherwise stated, use only KLING & FREITAG original parts for mounting the speakers. Never use other parts (in particular, parts not made by KLING & FREITAG).
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.
Be sure to always visually inspect all safety-related speaker and accessory components before use. If there are signs of wear, cracks, or deformation, etc., replace the affected parts immediately. Visual inspection also includes checking all screwed connections of supporting components.
The information described here does not relieve the user of the duty to follow the given safety requirements and legal regulations.

Installation

4.1 Required Tools
Required Tools
IS5 hexagon socket wrench

4.2 Preassembling the Speaker
When using optional accessories, be sure to follow all instructions in the respective manuals.

Mount any optional accessories required for installation to the holes provided in the bracket base.
Slightly loosen the mountingplate fixing screws until you can rotate the plates.

WARNING
Risks imposed by falling parts
Be sure to use self-locking screws no more than five times. Using them more often may result in screws loosening in operation. If in doubt, use new screws. Never use other types of screws.

4.3 Ceiling mounting
Risks imposed by falling parts
WARNING

Before installation, consider the load-bearing capacity, strength, and structure of ceilings and formwork. Be sure to use suitable anchors and check for required strength.
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.
1. Prepare ceiling attachment. Be sure to consider the ceiling specifics as well as the properties of the selected fasteners. For bore spacing, see »Dimensions« on page 7.
2. Place the preassembled speaker on a suitable lift. To facilitate attachment, we recommend using a lift with an accessible platform.
3. Lift the speaker to the required height, then mount it to the designated position.
4. Adjust the speaker tilt as desired, then retighten the fixing screws on the mounting plates.

Maintenance

Perform a visual inspection before each installation.
Visually inspect the entire setup every six months.
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.

Risk of falling parts due to undetected damage
WARNING

The test must be performed by a qualified person only.
If as a result of these checks any uncertainty should arise with regard to safety or defects are found, don’t use the speaker any longer. Contact your retailer.
Be sure to use self-locking screws no more than five times. Using them more often may result in screws loosening in operation. If in doubt, use new screws. Never use other types of screws.
All repair work must be performed by Kling & Freitag after evaluation carried out by engineering.
Many countries require regular inspection of mounting components and accessories. An additional annual inspection is typically required to be performed by a technical expert. 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.
If necessary, use multifunction oil for care.
