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.
Install the item only in a place that poses no risks in operation, for example, by people climbing on the speaker, attaching additional items to the suspension, or placing objectson the speaker.
Make sure no wind loads or equivalent horizontal loads act upon the speaker and the accessories.
Not suitable for outdoor use.
Not designed for use in corrosive environments.
When mounting on a wall, ensure plumb vertical installation.
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.
Be sure to only use original parts supplied. 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

Required Tools

Required Tools	Required mounting material

158 hexagon socket wrench for mounting the wall bracket.|
SW17 screwdriver or socket wrench|
Depending on your selected type of wall anchor, you might need additional tools.|

Preassembling the Speaker

Mount the flying frame including the load adapter onto the speaker. For mounting instructions and information on adjusting the desired tilt angle, refer to the SPECTRA 212i Flying Frame instruction manual.

Wall Mounting

Risks imposed by falling parts
Be sure to use appropriate wall anchors with regard to the wall specifics. Be sure to accountfor the following extraction and shear forces:

Extraction force: 3.3 kN
Shear force: 1.2 kN

The anchors must withstand those forces permanently. The specified values are actual loads; depending on the application at hand and the anchor properties, you may have to consider safety margins.

Install three wall anchors vertically with 258 mm spacing each.
Mount the wall profile to the wall.
Cover the three mounting holes with the supplied caps.
Screw the boom with the support plates to the wall profile.
Hand-tighten all five bolt connections on the support plates.
Remove the linch pin [A] from the split pin [B].
Remove the split pin [B] from the swivel mount [C].
Place the speaker unit with the premounted flying frame on a suitable lift. TIP To facilitate attachment, we recommend using a lift with an accessible platform.
Lift the speaker to the required height, then insert the load adapter [D] into the swivel mount [C].
Slide the split pin [B] through the swivel mount [C] and the load adapter [D].
Secure the split pin using the linch pin [A].
Secure the linch pin [A] by pulling the ring over the pin.
Loosen the nut [E] at the top of the wall-arm boom.
Move across the slot to adjust the desired wall distance and rotate the speaker unit as desired.
Hand-tighten the screw [E].

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.

WARNING Risks imposed by undetected damages

The inspection must be carried out by a qualified expert.
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 typesof 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.
