Safety instructions

The suitability of the supporting structure, load-bearing capacity of the structure, as is the suitability and dimensioning of the moment points must be ensured before ing the system.

"Information on the load-bearing capacity of structures generally refers to static loads in a vertical direction (without dynamic load components).

Attachment points on the supporting structure are regarded as interfaces to the structure and must be able to safely absorb loads. Attachment points are defined positions on the supporting structure, e.g. intersections on truss girders or eyelets permanently attached to the supporting structure. Below this interface to the structure, all elements in the load line are designed to be intrinsically safe. In addition, single-fault safety measures are implemented where necessary. The attachment of loads to structures is only permitted if the operator can provide clear information on the nominal load capacity of the attachment points. In particular, these are:

• Size of the rated load capacity

- Rated load capacity in relation to the direction of force

Only the attachment points approved by the operator may be used. The operator's specifications for the load capacity of the attachment points must not be exceeded either during assembly and dismantling or during operation. A load measuring device can be used for this purpose. When planning an event or production, dynamic forces, possible incident-induced loads and additional loads during operation as well as during assembly and dismantling must be taken into account in addition to the dead loads. For example, additional forces arise due to inclined bracing and acceleration of loads as well as jerky stopping of moving loads." (Source: DGUV Information 215-313).

In addition, the respective national law must be observed.

The suitability and sufficient load-bearing activity of the components used in connection to the system in the load line (e.g. shackles other slings, lanyards, tensioning elements, load-bearing equipment) must be used for the application. Persons are only suited to stand under the system if all (other) elements in the load line are designed to be physically safe. Elements that are not expressly used for use above persons may be suitable or certain circumstances if they are loaded to maximum of half the specified load capacity. Slings made of synthetic fi bres may not be over people without additional securing condition, the respective national law must be used. The operator is responsible for maintaining the safe operating condition and for suitability of the elements used in the load

The operator must arrange for the ving inspections to be carried out:

- Inspection of the components of the rigging hardware (fl light rail, the rigging hardware attached to the speaker cabinet and all other components used for rigging) before first use and thereafter periodically by a qualified/competent person to ensure that they are in a safe operating condition.

- After particular damage-causing events (e.g. crash, overloading of system components), the operator must arrange for an extraordinary inspection of the affected components by a competent person.

The applicable national laws and regulations must be observed with regard to the type, deadlines and scope of the inspections. The operating conditions must be taken into account.

However, the scope of testing for the inspection before initial commissioning, periodic inspection and inspection after particular damage-causing events includes at least the following criteria:

Condition, damage, cracks, deformation, corrosion, functionality/mobility, wear, fastening and securing of detachable connections, effectiveness of interlocks, completeness of connecting elements, legibility of type plate/permissible load capacity.

The inspection interval for the periodic inspection must not be more than one year. The inspections must be documented.

- The components of the rigging hardware (flight rail, the rigging hardware attached to the speaker cabinet and all other components used for rigging) must be checked for visible defects, wear, functionality, apparent operational safety and legibility of markings by a person instructed with regard to this inspection at least before each use.

If defects are found that impair safety or if the markings can no longer be clearly identified, the work equipment must be withdrawn from further use until it has been properly repaired.

The secondary safety devices (safeties) be attached to the following points on the high units: - Suitable attachment points are things for attaching the shackles - The shipment of secondary safety devices to parts of mid/high units other than thoseioned here is prohibited.

Direct attachment (without flight rail) only be carried out as described in these actions. To tilt the lifted system using a, only double-stranded slings that are also lined for edge loading or equipped with edge action may be used. It must be ensured that hackles attached under the mid/high unit align freely and are not subjected to diagonal Attach the sling to the mid/high units using side lugs in the centre of the speakers – it is laden to attach it in the intermediate position (between two speakers).

The components used in connection with the attachment or rigging of the system (e.g. hoists, slings, lanyards) must be inspected periodically by competent persons, taking into account the ambient conditions, the respective manufacturer's specifications and the respective national regulations, and before each installation by instructed persons.

The operator must carry out a risk assessment for the respective use of the system. Among other things, the suitability of the components used, the deadlines and scope of the inspection of the work equipment and the suitability of the personnel deployed must be checked. With regard to the assembly and dismantling of the systems, the need for measures such as barriers and coordination of the trades involved must also be determined on a case-by-case basis. Conditions of use and interactions with the working environment must be taken into account.

The fl own system must be secured against twisting and unintentional movement in the event of wind. This is done by attaching safety cords to the openings for attaching the shackles.

Do not use in windy conditions with impermissible wind speeds. The system must be removed or lowered and secured by the time wind force 8 or a gust wind speed of 20 m/s is reached. Measures must be planned, coordinated and carried out professionally.

Only slings and hoists certified by their manufacturer as conforming to 2006/42/EC (outside the scope of 2006/42/EC of equivalent quality in accordance with the respective national regulations) may be used in rigging operations.

Only personnel who are trained and qualified for the respective task may be deployed. This applies to assembly, dismantling, operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, repair and inspection.

To create a system consisting of several mid/high units for rigging operation, these must first be fully connected to each other on the top side before lifting. The system may then only be lifted high enough for the connections to be made on the underside. Only once the mid/high units have been fully connected to each other can the system be lifted further.

The connections of the individual components of the flight rail are self-locking and may only be loosened/replaced by the manufacturer or by a specialist company authorised by the manufacturer.

To avoid swaying when lifting loads using a hoist, make sure the load's centre of gravity is vertically below the hoist.

Suitable and sufficient lighting must be provided for assembly/dismantling, cleaning, troubleshooting, maintenance and repair. National regulations must be observed in this respect.

Materials must be stored securely on a sufficiently stable surface. Traffic routes, in particular escape and rescue routes, as well as fi re extinguishing equipment, must always be kept clear at the place of use.

Operating the system outdoors, including any work carried out on the system, is prohibited during thunderstorms. If there is a thunderstorm on the way when used outdoors: Stop work, do not touch any conductive parts, do not stand under/near raised systems. If possible, go to a safe room/area. Weather forecasts must be continuously monitored.

Mounting the CXR-210 flight rail

Flying the CONTOUR X 210 LT in a horizontal array with the CXR-210 rigging rail

1. Only move the speakers with the assistance of another person, to avoid possible injuries
2. Place the speakers connected to form a horizontal array on a flat surface (for clustering, see instructions on connecting the speakers to form a horizontal array)
3. The CONTOUR X 210 LT has a mounting point for attaching the CXR-210 in the centre of the upper ICF, as well as on the side edge of the upper ICF
4. The mounting point in the centre of the ICF must be used to fly a single speaker or a horizontal array of three. The CXR-210 flight rail is designed to fit into the intended mount in one direction only. After attaching the CXR-210, the QRP must be pushed into the openings provided in the flight rail to secure it until it clicks into place with an audible click

1. To fly a horizontal array of two and a horizontal array of four, the mounting point between the connected speakers must be used. The CXR-210 flight rail is designed to fit into the intended mount in one direction only.

After attaching the CXR-210, the QRP must be pushed into the openings provided in the flight rail to secure it until it clicks into place with an audible click

1. Connect the horizontal array at the desired angle (see table with 44 angle options) to the designated pick point using a shackle, insert the threaded bolt and secure by tightening the nut. Secure the connection with the spring pin (split pin) to further secure it
2. Raise the horizontal array to working height (approx. 1.50 m) using the chain hoist
3. Slide the QRPs on the underside (lower ICF) for securing the flaps into the openings provided in the flaps on both sides of the respective speakers until they click into place with an audible click

1. Pull the horizontal array to the desired height

Heads Up: Suitable secondary securing devices (safeties) must always be used. A securing element (safety) must be installed in such a way that it does not allow any fall distance. If a fall distance is unavoidable, it must be minimised as far as possible. A secondary securing device can only be omitted if all components in the load line are intrinsically safe, can only be released with tools and are secured against self-release.

Heads Up: If the individual speaker or the cluster is raised or lowered,

it is prohibited for people to stand underneath it!
