20. Included Safety and Mounting Instructions for Loudspeakers and Accessories

Operating Instructions ACCESS SYSTEM

1. General Safety Instructions for Using Speakers

Mounting the speakers

To prevent injury or property damage, this equipment must be securely placed on the floor or mounted in a different manner according to the mounting instructions on page 40 (Mounting Instructions for Loudspeakers). Speakers, which are stacked, must be secured

with safety straps. Please note that speakers can move as a result of vibrations. To prevent them from falling from their mounted position, they must be secured properly. If the weight of the speaker exceeds 20 kg then it is necessary for two people to carry it. Speakers may only be mounted to walls and ceilings by qualified personnel. The speakers must be hung by using the two designated MAN flying points on the sides of the speaker. The same applies when lifting and aligning the speakers. Only connections designed to fit the flying points should be used. If in doubt, please consult the manufacturer.

The bass system ACCESS B10 is not designed for flown applications. Never use signal cables or power cords for suspending, aligning or securing the systems. When laying the connecting cables, make sure that nobody can trip. Never hang more than two speakers under one another without using the designated Kling & Freitag rigging equipment. Ensure that all installation connections comply with the applicable safety guidelines and that the size and strength are sufficient. Further instructions are in our user's manual for assembly equipment and in the general safety instructions for speakers and accessories. For mobile and fixed installations, use only mounting accessories from Kling & Freitag, if possible. Speakers and mounting accessories must be visually examined at regular intervals. If there are signs of wear, they must be replaced immediately. Furthermore, screwed connections of supporting parts must be checked routinely.

Protecting the speakers / avoiding fire hazard

In general, audio signals should not be overdriven. This may be caused by mixing consoles, equalizers, effect equipment, etc. and should be indicated on this equipment. When a power amplifier is overloaded at the output (clipping), then the amplifier should activate a clipping warning signal. Power amplifiers can also be overloaded at the input circuit without the amplifier signalling the clipping, i.e. when there is not sufficient headroom in the input circuit. We, therefore, recommend turning up the power amplifiers all the way and adjusting the level before the power amplifier in order to avoid overloading the input circuit. In any case, the signal must be reduced as soon as it sounds unnaturally distorted.

− To protect the speakers from being destroyed and to avoid fire hazard, they should

only be operated with professional power amplifiers with the following specifications:

− Amplification according to the instructions in the chapter Recommended Amplifier

Performance for the ACCESS System from page 38 onwards.

− Integrated clipping limiter

− without using a Kling & Freitag controller (not recommended):

Integrated or preceding subsonic filter (approx. 20 Hz, min. 12 dB / octave) Power amplifiers with power specifications lower than those stated from page 39 onwards must be supplied with a clip limiter for speaker protection, even if they are operated with a Kling & Freitag system controller.

If you wish to use a speaker with a power amplifier that does not fulfil these specifications, then the speaker should be controlled using a Kling & Freitag system controller with limiter function. This is the only way overloading and the risk of fire can be avoided. The results of such a power amplifier defect cannot be avoided by the controller.

For damage caused by overloading or use with power amplifiers other than those recommended above or with amplifiers with higher output power, Kling & Freitag GmbH does not assume warranty and excludes liability for possible consequential damage.

Warning

Operating Instructions ACCESS SYSTEM

The following signals may damage the speakers

− permanent high-pitched signals with high frequency and continuous noise from

feedback.

− permanently distorted signals with high power.

− noises, which occur when the amplifier is on while equipment is being connected,

disconnected or switched on.

Do not install speakers in any of the following places:

− where the speakers are permanently exposed to direct sunlight

− where the speakers are exposed to high moisture or rain

− where the speakers are exposed to strong vibrations and dust.

Damage caused by the speakers' magnetic fields

Speakers are permanently surrounded by a magnetic field, even when they are not operating. Therefore, during transport and placement of the speakers, it is important to ensure that there is always approx. 1 m between the speakers and magnetic data media and computer/video monitors.

Preventing hearing damage

To prevent the risk of hearing damage, avoid being too close to operating speakers, even if the volume level seems to be low enough. In general, volume levels over 90 dB can cause hearing damage.

3.1 T5 Mid/High System

3.1.1 T5 Applications

The ACCESS T5 is a horn-loaded high-end sound system with a consistent and homogeneous dispersion pattern of 50° x 40°, and is, therefore, predestined for use in clusters and arrays. The areas of use range from discotheques and live sound coverage to large events and mega open-airs. The T5 meets all demands at the highest level --- from techno to classic. With wide-band highest sound pressure levels exceeding 140 dB and an optimal audio quality, a minimum number of units is necessary. This allows for maximum efficiency for set-up and dismantling.

3.2 T9 Mid/High System

3.2.1 T9 Applications

The ACCESS T5 is a horn-loaded high-end sound system with a consistent and homogeneous dispersion pattern of 90° x 40°. It is, therefore, extremely well suited for small to medium coverage requirements with just one system per side such as live concerts in clubs and sound coverage in discotheques. By using pair clusters with another T9 or large arrays with the fully compatible T5, it is possible to use the equipment at large events and mega open-air concerts. The T9 meets all demands at the highest level --from techno to classic. With wideband highest sound pressure up to 139 dB and an optimal audio quality, a minimum number of units is necessary. This allows for maximum efficiency for set-up and dismantling.

4. The Subwoofers

4.1 Short-Circuit Fuses in the K&F Subwoofer Systems

4.1.1 Risks of using High Performance Power Amplifiers

In recent years, power amplifiers have achieved increasingly higher levels of performance. Some of them can be operated with low-impedance loads. There are, therefore, strong power amplifiers that can reliably work with impedances below 1 Ω. This development has led to an increased safety risk during defective operations.

When there is a defect, such as a short circuit in the speaker chassis or on the crossover, it is possible that the power amplifier --- despite existing protective switches --- will not shut off. Long cable lengths and contact resistance on the plug connections may already have an electrical resistance of 1 Ω. As a result, the power amplifier cannot ‘‘recognise’’ the operations as being defective and, therefore, delivers unacceptable high currents. In the worst-case scenario, this may lead to fire damage (hot and charred wiring / connectors as a result of overloaded wires and connectors, etc.).

The current safety regulations are lagging behind this development and are thus not up-to-date with this modern technology.

Normally, the K&F System Controller prevents the speaker from being overloaded. The results of such a defect cannot be avoided by the controller.

In order to give consideration to this development, Kling & Freitag now equips its subwoofer systems with short circuit fuses at the signal input. These fuses do not offer protection for the speaker, but do reduce the risk of consequential damage in the case of a short circuit.

For systems, which are not serially equipped with a short circuit fuse, Kling & Freitag offers simple add-on kits so that you can adapt your existing subwoofer systems to the current power amplifier development.

4.1.2 Identifying the Models with Short-Circuit Fuses

The subwoofer systems, which are serially equipped with short-circuit fuses can be identified as follows; both mentioned stipulations must be fulfilled:

4.1.3 Add-On Kits for Subwoofers without Short-Circuit Fuses

All subwoofer systems, which are not serially equipped with short circuit fuses, can be, if required, easily and inexpensively upgraded even by yourself.

An instruction manual for this upgrade is delivered with the add-on kit.

8A slow

When necessary, these fuses may only be replaced with the aforementioned original fuse.

4.1.5 Replacement and Positions of the Short-Circuit Fuses

When the fuse is blown, then the chassis is most likely already ruined, as the fuse just prevents consequential damage resulting from a short circuit of the chassis. A disassembly of the chassis is, therefore, unavoidable.

The fuse holder of the subwoofers is mounted on the signal wiring behind the input connector. The ACCESS subwoofers have 2 fuses; one for each of the parallel operating chassis.

When replacing the fuse, the lid of the terminal with the signal connectors must be screwed off to reach the fuse holder.
