Compression mode setup
For Compression mode setup, we recommend the use of the
dedicated d&b SL-Series compression sets including the
B2447.072 Lever hoist to manually curve the array, as described
in section
"11. Curving the array" on page 52.
WARNING!
Potential risk of personal injury and/or
damage to material.
When using a motor hoist instead of the lever hoist, observe the
following:
▪ The maximum permitted compression force is 1000 kg
(1.0 t/10 kN).
The hoist overload clutch must be correspondingly adjusted.
▪ The motor hoist must be equipped with two independent brakes
(according to the German
D8 Plus standard).
▪ Observe your local legal requirements and Rules for the
Prevention of Accidents (RPA).
Provided...:
▪ The touring cart is loaded and prepared for Compression mode
as described in
"Manually loading for Compression mode"
on page 35) and in position.
▪ The load beam has been already attached to the flying frame
as described in the previous section
beam to the flying frame" on page 45.
▪ The safety chain has been already attached to the flying frame
as described in
Chapter 3.14 "Secondary safety"
▪ The entire assembly is lifted to a height of approx. 30 cm (1 ft)
above ground.
... proceed as follows:
1. Attaching the cable pick (Z5713)
1. Release the Locking pin of the coupling shackle.
2. Attach the coupling shackle to the dedicated hole position at
the rear end of the load beam.
3. Reinsert the Locking pin and ensure the pin is fully inserted and
locked.
4. Set suitable lengths of the individual loudspeaker cables, and
attach split sets when applicable and connect the cables
subsequently during the entire setup procedure.
