Accessories: JP-Q and ANL-2

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 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). The load capacity, of each lift motor, should correspond to a safety factor of 10:1. 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 f illed 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. 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 f rom 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.

The JP-Q accessory allows the installation of devices of the Quantum series suspended by means of rings.

Note: Make sure the slings have the robustness and appropriate length.

Also, the JP-Q accessory allows the union of several boxes of the Quantum series (example Q-43-T), forming columns, which can then be suspended by means of rings.

Note: The upper Q-43-T is mounted inverted to improve coverage.

Note: Make sure the slings have the robustness and appropriate length.

We will add another JP-Q in the upper part to obtain the desired inclination.

To hang the units, Q-10 or Q-10A, the ANL-2 accessory is needed. To install this accessory, the Allen-head screws must be removed and replaced by M10 eyebolts on one side of the enclosure. Each rigging point has a 200 kg (440 lb) working load limit.

Then choose the slings or chains of a 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).

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 above 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.

Note: As always, when we handle heavy loads, we should wear appropriate clothing and protective

elements such as gloves, safety shoes, etc.
