Overhead Installation - Omnitronic I Serie Bedienungsanleitung

The cables must be installed in a way that no person can stumble over them. Always fix the cables with an
appropriate tape.
Both cables should be of the same kind.
Both cables should have the same length.
Both cables should be installed directly (no loops, S-shaped overlengths)
Always install the cables far away from power cables (never closely parallel)
Never put heavy objects like speaker-systems, flightcased etc. on cables.
Never wind up cables tightly around the elbow, but rather sleek with an interior diameter of 20 to 30 cm.

Overhead installation

If this speaker-system will be installed in a mounting height higher than 1 meter (e.g. on the stage, on a
stage element or on a framework) we speak of overhead installation. For overhead installation, the speaker-
system must always be secured with an appropriate secondary attachment.
Safety bonds are allowed as secondary attachment for all speaker-system up to a maximum weight of 60 kg.
Heavier speaker-systems must be secured via appropriate measures based on individual calculations.
Please consider the EN 60598-2-17and the respective national norms during the installation!
The installation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer!
The installation of the speaker-system has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the
weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net.
This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down
if the main attachment fails.
When rigging, derigging or servicing the speaker-system staying in the area below the installation place, on
bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an
expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another
time.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an
expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a
skilled person once a year.
Procedure:
The speaker-system should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to)
calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all
installation material and the speaker-system. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation
yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and
or damage to property.
The speaker-system has to be installed out of the reach of people.
Caution: Speaker-systems in overhead installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you
have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the speaker-system!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the speaker-
system's weight.
DANGER TO LIFE!
