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 raw plugs 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.

Admissible load capacity

The speaker accessory Mounting Bracket GRAVIS 15 may only be loaded with one speaker model GRAVIS 15.

Installation and Usage Instructions

Care and Maintenance

For the owner and user, it is mandatory to be aware that speaker accessories used to fly or mount the speakers are fundamentally safety-relevant.
Note that the mains cables are delivered with varying connector options or with open wires (mains side), depending on the country or order number.
The accessory Mounting Bracket GRAVIS 15 can exhibit signs of wear over the years, i.e. from mechanical strain, transport damage, corrosion, or improper handling.
As a basic principle, you must visually inspect the speaker accessory Mounting Bracket GRAVIS 15 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, the Mounting Bracket GRAVIS 15 system may no longer be used and you must send in the product to KLING & FREITAG GmbH for inspection and repairs, if necessary. If defects are ascertained, then you must send in the product to KLING & FREITAG GmbH for inspection and repairs, if necessary.
Inspection regulations may vary depending on application and country of use. Observe all applicable regulations; when in doubt, contact the 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.
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. The log should also document maintenance measures and inspection intervals and contain parts lists.
Clean this speaker accessory regularly using a corrosion-prevention penetrating oil (for example, WD-40®).
