Safety Instructions

3.1

Mounting the Speakers / Wall and Ceiling Installation

Warning

Have all installation works including suspension as well as wall or ceiling mount 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.

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.

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.

Fixed installations (stationary):

•

For fixed installations without a safety element, secure the long nut and the M10 nut
from loosening. You can do this by using threadlocking adhesives or sealants.

Mobile installations (non-stationary):

•

Always secure the speaker with a second independent safety device to prevent falling.

•

To do so, use an approved safety rope with a 5 mm quick link on the safety eyebolt of
the speaker enclosure. You can get an appropriate quick link available as an accessory
from KLING & FREITAG.

Notes for Mounting the Speakers

Caution

Mount the speakers securely. To avoid injury or damage, always be sure to mount the
speakers securely so that they do not fall. Please note that speakers can move as a result of
vibrations. To prevent them from falling from their mounted position, they must be secured
properly. Run the cables in a way that nobody can trip over them.

The stability of stacked systems (also valid for the use of stands and distance rods!) is
contingent upon the following stability requirement:

Stacked systems may not fall over even if they are inclined by 10° in each direction. If this
requirement is not fulfilled, then it is necessary to take steps to achieve compliance. Possible
measures include strapping it to an appropriate base structure or fastening it using safety
straps.
