RIGGING SYSTEM
Warning
This manual contains needed information for
flying D.A.S. Audio line array systems, 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.
Only experience 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 D.A.S. Specifications
are subject to change without notice.
When a system is flying, 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 prevent evidence of inspection
reports and corrective actions after defects were
found.
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 D.A.S. Audio are the user´s responsibility. Use
at your own risk.
To this date, there is no international standard
regarding the flying of acoustic systems. However,
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 for 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).

VERTICAL ARRAY (‘-RA’ versions)
For this mounting type convert1560RA or
convert1590RA are required. This is the simplest
way because only AX-CONVERT15 rigging
accessory is required for just one lift motor. In case
of using two lift motors, AX-CONVERT15 and PICK-
UP AX-CONVERT15 will be needed.
Be conscious that rigging must be performed
by highly skilled workers, with an adequate
knowledge of the equipment and fittings to use.
Workers must also know the local safety
regulations. User is responsible to ensure that
sound rigging systems (including rigging
accessories) meet state and local regulations in
force.

Accessories required for this mounting type
(WLL =300 kg)
Firstly, lets see how a rigging system, which is
built into the enclosure, works.
At the rear you will find a safety pin which is
not removable.
If we push the red button and pull it down, a
cog blade system is exposed. This piece will slide
out if we push a handle near the pin (see figure).

Junction between enclosures
Suppose we join several enclosures to create a
vertical array mounting type for ‘-RA’ versions.
We will place the first two enclosures, as in
Figure1, one above the other on a flat surface.
The rigging system ends are aligned and
prevent them from moving while acting on the
locking pins.
To join the two enclosures with the rigging
system we will act on the rear pin (shown in red in
Figure 2) and also on the lever adjacent to it.
Refer to Figure 3.
On the previous page we described the
elements of this convert 15A version.
Figure 1
Push the red button and pull it down to free
the cog blade system.
This piece will slide out if we push the lever
near the pin and act simultaneously on the pin, as
we said before.
Release the safety pin button and ensure that it
recovers its initial position to end the process (by
an internal spring as shown in Figure 4).
Repeat this process with the other pins
marked in blue in Figure 2 and the two enclosures
will join together safely.
To join one more enclosure, take the group of
two enclosures fixed before and follow the
instructions described (Figure 5 and Figure 6).
Due to the coverage angles, more than three
enclosures won´t be necessary.

Finally, join AX-CONVERT15 with the top enclosure.
First, unite each of the side parts of the AX facing the cog blade system of the side piece with the top
enclosure caps. Act on the safety pin of this side of the enclosure as we explained before (see the figures
below).
To finish, place the AX bar with the safety pins in the holes of the top part which correspond to the right
angles.

because only UFB and AXA-CV15H rigging
accessories are required for just one lift motor. In
case of using two lift motors, another UFB will be
needed.
Be conscious that rigging must be performed
by highly skilled workers, with an adequate

In the Figure 12 we can see the mounting of
three enclosures.
We should add more enclosures in the same
way to the desired units.
Also, we can choose to mount systems onto
SUBs as shown in Figure 13.

Repeat the process on the other side of the
enclosures (Figure 17 and Figure 18).
If we don´t mount the third enclosure we will
mount the AX-CONVERT15B and, in this case, we
will follow the instructions shown in Figures 19 to

This setup is composed of convert 1560A or
convert 1590A and is the most complex because it
requires a preview planification. The following
rigging accessories are required: UFB, AXA-CV15
and AXA-CV15H. In case of using two lift motors,
another UFB will be needed.
Be conscious that rigging must be performed
by highly skilled workers, with an adequate
