This manual contains needed information for
flying DAS Audio cabinets, description of the
elements and safety precautions. To perform any
operations related to flying the system, read the
present document first, and act on the warnings
and advice given. The goal is to allow the user to
become familiar with the mechanical elements
required to fly the acoustic system, as well as the
safety measures to be taken during set-up and
teardown.
Absolutely no risks should be taken with
regards to public safety. When flying enclosures
from ceiling support structures, extreme care
should be taken to assure the load bearing
capabilities of the structures so that the installation
is absolutely safe. Do not fly enclosures from
unsafe structures. Consult a certified professional if
needed. All flying accessories that are not supplied
by DAS Audio are the user's responsibility. Use at
your own risk.
Only experienced installers with adequate
knowledge of the equipment and local safety
regulations should fly speaker boxes. It is the
user's responsibility to ensure that the systems to
be flown (including flying accessories) comply with
state and local regulations.
The working load limits in this manual are the
results of tests by independent laboratories. It is
the user's responsibility to stay within safe limits. It
is the user's responsibility to follow and comply
with safety factors, resistance values, periodical
supervisions and warnings given in this manual.
Product improvement by means of research and
development is on going at DAS. Specifications
are subject to change without notice.
It is common practice to apply 5:1 safety
factors for enclosures and static elements. For
slings and elements exposed to material fatigue
due to friction and load variation the following
ratios must be met; 5:1 for steel cable slings, 4:1
for steel chain slings and 7:1 polyester slings.
Thus, an element with a breaking load limit of
1000 kg may be statically loaded with 200 kg (5:1
safety factor) and dynamically loaded with 142 kg
(7:1 safety factor).
Introduction
Altea series models feature 2x M8 nuts on the
top panel. There are 4x M8 nuts at the rear panel.
Flying with eyebolts is very economical and
safe, and it is recommended for installations where
the boxes are not fixed permanently.
The illustration shows the internal metal
hardware of an enclosure with eyebolt flying.
When flying a system, the working load must
be lower than the resistance of each individual
flying point in the enclosure, as well as each box.
Hanging hardware should be regularly inspected
and suspect units replaced if in doubt. This is
important to avoid injury and absolutely no risks
should be taken in this respect. It is highly
recommended that you implement an inspection
and maintenance program on flying elements,
including reports to be filled out by the personnel
that will carry out the inspections. Local
regulations may exist that, in case of accident,
may require you to present evidence of inspection
reports and corrective actions after defects were
found.

Flying with eyebolts
Each rigging point has 30 kg (66 lb) working
load limit. Then choose the slings or chains of
required load resistance and length, bearing in
mind that the length difference between the front
and back slings or chains will determine the
vertical orientation. Alternatively, the back bottom
eyebolt points can be used to provide vertical
orientation.
The ANL-1 set is an optional set of four
eyebolts and four carabiners. (Dimensions are in
millimeters).
ANL-1
The following illustrations show different views
on eyebolt flying for a single box. The length of the
back cables or chains determines the vertical
angle of the box.
Each ANL-1 eyebolt has a rated working load
of 140 kg. (308 lb). Each ANL-1 carabiner has a
working load of 910 kg (2002 lb). If using other
hardware, make sure it is rated to handle the
required load.
When using eyebolts it is important to bear in
mind that the rated working load is only true for a
load applied in the plane of the eye, and is
significantly reduced for other angles. The drawing
illustrates the concept. The table shows the
variation of the working load as a function of the
load angle. In the case of the ANL-1 eyebolt, this
means that the 30 kg working load becomes 9 kg
at 45 degrees. Do not use eyebolt flying if the load
angle is higher than 45 degrees.

Wall mounting bracket
The AX-112-5 is a wall mounting bracket
designed for various models (WLL=25kgf).
The AX-112-5 bracket has been designed to
be wall mounted in the vertical position only. Any
other position is a safety hazard.
Wall plugs provided are to be used in brick
walls only. For other wall materials, source the
suitable wall plug before use.
DAS Audio Group is not responsible for use
other than the recommended. Use only the screws
and wall plugs supplied on surfaces that will
provide sufficient support. Do not use on surfaces
such as plaster, and gypsum.
Contact a licensed rigger if there is any doubt.
