Safety Instructions

Mounting the Speakers / Wall and Ceiling Installation

• * Suspended loads pose a safety risk.

• Only qualified technicians are permitted to perform the installation steps. Be sure to use personal protective equipment at all times.
• The technicians installing the speaker on site are responsible for and guarantee safe setup and use.
• Never use signal cables or power cords for suspending, aligning, or securing the systems.
• Before installing, check the stability, strength, and materials of walls, ceilings, and boarding. For example, use suitable rawlplugs for wall panels and make sure the strength is sufficient.
• Note that the suspension points on the hall ceiling (i.e. shackles, attachment points, or chain hoists) must comply with the DGUV regulations 17 and 18 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 and Usage Instructions

Mounting

• Using wrong accessories for the wall or ceiling can result in the loudspeaker falling down. PASSIO-Lautsprecher
• Check the stability of the wall or ceiling before mounting the loudspeaker to it. Make sure to use only sufficiently suited mounting material like wall anchors and matching screws.
• Only the included M10 bolts may be used for mounting the speakers.
• The Mounting Bracket can be rotated and locked on the PASSIO loudspeaker in steps of 90°. The possible adjustment angle between the PASSIO loudspeaker and the wall depends on the mounting position. Find the right position of the Mounting Bracket on the speaker depending on the desired alignment of the speaker.
• Before permanently fixing the device, check if it has the optimal position.

1. Place the speaker on a stable support.
2. Check the position in which the Mounting Bracket is best suitable for the later alignment of the PASSIO loudspeaker.
3. Mount the Mounting Bracket (POS.1) with four appropriate screws and wall anchors to the wall.
4. Put the bolt (POS.2) through the washer (POS.3) and then through the mounting plate of the Mounting Bracket.

• Generally, perform a visual inspection of your speaker every time you suspend it or take it down. In fixed installations, check the speaker 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 defects are found, don’t use the speaker any longer.
