Correct use of all rigging hardware is required for secure system suspension. Careful calculations should always be performed to ensure that all components are used within their working load limits before the array is suspended. Never exceed the maximum recommended load ratings.

Before suspending any speaker system, always inspect all components (enclosure, rigging frames, pins, eyebolts, track fittings, etc.) for cracks, deformations, corrosion, and missing, loose, or damaged parts that could reduce strength and safety of the array. Do not suspend the speaker until the proper corrective action has been taken. Use only load-rated hardware when suspending Application Engineered™ Series and Precision Directivity® Series loudspeakers.

ARE YOU NEW TO LOUDSPEAKER SUSPENSION?

If so, you should do the following:

• Read and study JBL Technical Note Volume 1, Number 14: Basic Principles for Suspending Loudspeaker Systems (available at http://www.jblpro.com/pub/technote/tn_v1n14.pdf).
• Know the rules for the safe overhead suspension of loudspeakers.
• Attend a seminar, such as those recognized and recommended by the Entertainment Technician Certification Program – http://etcp.esta.org/cert_recognized/training_programs/rigging_list.htm.
• Meet and establish a relationship with a licensed mechanical or structural engineer. Get in the habit of asking them questions instead of guessing about their answers. Learn from what they tell you.
• Meet and discuss this aspect of your business with your Insurance Agent.
• Research and understand the codes, practices, and requirements in the venues where you intend to install and operate sound systems.

GENERAL HARDWARE INFORMATION

Any hardware used in an overhead suspension application must be load rated for the intended use. Generally, this type of hardware is available from rigging supply houses, industrial supply catalogs, and specialized rigging distributors. Local hardware stores do not usually stock these products. Hardware that is intended for overhead suspension will comply with ASME B30.20 and will be manufactured under product traceability controls. Compliant hardware will be referenced with a working load limit (WLL) and a traceability code.

ATTACHMENT TO STRUCTURES

A licensed Professional Engineer must approve the placement and method of attachment to the structure prior to the installation of any overhead object. The following performance standards should be provided to the Professional Engineer for design purposes; Uniform Building Code as applicable, Municipal Building Code as applicable, and Seismic Code as applicable.

The installation of the hardware and method of attachment must be carried out in the manner specified by the Professional Engineer. Improper installation may result in damage, injury, or death.

INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE

Suspension systems are comprised of mechanical devices and, as such, require regular inspection and routine maintenance to ensure proper functionality. JBL AE Series and PD Series loudspeakers must be inspected for fatigue at least annually. The inspection shall include a visual survey of all corners and load bearing surfaces for signs of cracking, water damage, de-lamination, or any other condition that may decrease the strength of the loudspeaker enclosure. Overhead suspension hardware must be inspected for fatigue at least annually. The inspection shall include a visual survey of the material for signs of corrosion, bending, or any other condition that may decrease the strength of the fastener. Additionally, any eyebolts shall be checked for possible spin-out from the enclosure. For all other hardware and fittings, refer to the hardware manufacturer's inspection and maintenance guidelines for process.

JBL is not responsible for the application of its products for any purpose or the misuse of this information for any purpose. Furthermore, JBL is not responsible for the abuse of its products caused by avoiding compliance with inspection and maintenance procedures or any other abuse.

Prior to suspending the system, an expert, trained and experienced in suspending loudspeaker systems, should inspect all rigging parts and components.

SAFE RIGGING

WARNING! SUSPENDING ANY LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM SHOULD BE DONE BY QUALIFIED PERSONS FOLLOWING SAFE RIGGING STANDARDS.

The JBL PD500 Series loudspeakers are supplied with built-in internal brackets. The system is designed to facilitate the suspension of the loudspeaker by a qualified person familiar with rigging hardware and industry practices. Threaded M10 shouldered eyebolts are available for purchase from JBL Professional (part # 229-00009-01) for use when suspending PD500 Series enclosures utilizing this internal bracket system.

PD500 Series enclosures are capable of a maximum load of 470lbs/213kg from 2 points equally loaded. The single point maximum load is 235lbs/106kg. Improper installation may result in damage, injury, or death. Prior to suspending the system, an expert, trained and experienced in flying speaker systems, should inspect all rigging parts and components. A licensed Professional Engineer must approve the placement and method of attachment to the structure prior to the installation of any overhead object.

EYEBOLT INSTALLATION

Installation instructions follow:

1. Remove the M10 flat-head bolts from the enclosure (see Fig 5).
2. Screw the lifting eyebolt with fender washer into the threaded attachment point until the fender washer has contacted the enclosure (see Fig 6).
3. Continue to finger tighten the eyebolt until the correct alignment position is obtained — a maximum of one complete turn.
4. All hardware supplied by the user must be rated for overhead lifting to suspend the loudspeaker system.
5. Never install the eyebolt without the factory-supplied washer.

Eyebolts must be fully seated and oriented in the plane of pull. Over tightening the eyebolt with a wrench, screwdriver, etc., can result in a system failure and possible injury.

WARNING! EYEBOLTS MUST BE FULLY SEATED AND ORIENTED IN THE PLANE OF PULL AS SHOWN IN Fig 6. ALWAYS USE WASHERS TO DISTRIBUTE SUSPENSION LOADS.

JBL offers two standard levels of weather resistance for AE, PD, and VLA Series loudspeakers. WRC is intended for outdoor placement, where the loudspeaker will be sheltered from direct exposure to the elements. WRX is best suited for direct exposure to the elements or any extreme environment, such as tropical climate, beach areas, or other locations with high or low temperature extremes, salt air, high humidity, or rapid change in temperature.

Model Numbering – WR designation is a suffix to the standard model number. For example: PD544-WRC or PD544-WRX

JBL PD Series loudspeakers are available in black, white, or unfinished. When ordering, the default color is always black. White is signified by a –WH suffix on the model number. Unfinished models are signified with a –UF suffix and are delivered “paint ready”. JBL recommends that for custom color installations, the unfinished versions (-UF) be ordered and painted as required. If, however, you wish to paint an enclosure over the JBL DuraFlex™ finish, the instructions below should be used as a general guide.

NOTE: Unfinished and custom color models are not EN54-24 compliant.

DuraFlex is a multi-layer finish. The top aliphatic layer provides a surface to which most paints bond.

NOTE: Some JBL portable loudspeaker models do not include a top aliphatic coating — these models are not paintable. All standard PD Series loudspeakers do include a top aliphatic coating and are paintable.

PAINTING WEATHER RESISTANT PD MODELS

Most PD models are available in two levels of weather-resistant models. Weather-resistant models are signified by a -WRC or -WRX suffix to the standard product model.

IMPORTANT: Simply painting a non-weather-resistant speaker is NOT acceptable protection for outdoor use.

Internal Protection – The WRC and WRX models are constructed with necessary additional internal protection, including: full internal surface sealant to protect the wood from the inside, special corrosion-resistant internal hardware, weather protection for the cones, protective coating for the metal parts on the back of the drivers, protective coating on crossover network, waterproof glues, and special grille backing that breaks up driving rain. For speakers that will be used outdoors, always start with a WRC (DuraFlex finish) or WRX (fiberglass finish) as the base model to insure proper construction for outdoor use.

Painting WRC Enclosures – Models with the WRC-level of weather resistant are coated with an extra-thick DuraFlex finish. Follow the same instructions in the sections above, which apply to all models with DuraFlex finish.

Painting WRX Enclosures – WRX-level weather resistant models have a fiberglass finish. Follow standard procedures for painting over fiberglass.

JBL, through its agent, accepts its responsibility to finance the cost of treatment and recovery of redundant WEEE in accordance with the specific WEEE recycling requirements. All of our products are marked with the WEEE symbol; this indicates that this product must NOT be disposed of with other waste. Instead it is the user's responsibility to dispose of their waste electrical and electronic equipment by handing it over to an approved re-processor, or by returning it to JBL's agent for reprocessing. For more information about where you can send your waste equipment for recycling, please contact your local distributor.
