Warnings
This manual contains needed information for
flying D.A.S. 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 D.A.S. 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 D.A.S. Specifications
are subject to change without notice.
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 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
Flyable vantec series models feature 6 internal
steel angles, with 2 mounting threads each, so
that 12 flying points are available (2 on each side,
3 on the top panel and 3 on the bottom panel and
2 on the rear panel). Eyebolt flying points are
factory sealed with M10 screws, which are
replaced with eyebolts on the flying points as
required. Flying with eyebolts is very economical
and safe, and is specially recommended for fixed
installations where the boxes are permanently
fixed.
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.

Manual del Usuario / vantec series / User’s Manual
Flying with eyebolts
The Allen-head screws must be removed and
replaced by M10 eyebolts on one side of the
enclosure. Each rigging point has 200 kg (440 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-2 set is an optional set of four
eyebolts and four carabiners. (Dimensions are in
milimetres).
ANL-2
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-2 eyebolt has a rated working load
of 200 kg. (440 lb). Each ANL-2 carabiner has a
working load of 330 kg (726 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-2 eyebolt, this
means that the 200 kg working load becomes 60
kg at 45 degrees. Do not use eyebolt flying if the
load angle is higher than 45 degrees.
