The U-mount for Loudspeakers with Option ’Installation’ is only for professional use and is
only to be used to mount Kling & Freitag speakers CA 1201, CA 1215 und CA1515 with
their respective option ’Installation’ . Furthermore, it may only be used as specified for
uses at trade fairs, in theatres, studios, and events, etc. according to the stipulations
of the BGV C1 or a comparable national standard.
As a general rule the rigging and mounting system must be inspected each time it is
packed or unpacked. If permanently installed the system must be checked for signs of
wear at regular intervals.
In addition an inspection book for the rigging and mounting system should be kept.
This book should document maintenance measures and inspection intervals and contain parts lists.
If as a result of these checks any uncertainty should arise with regard to safety or if
specific faults are found, the rigging and mounting system may no longer be used.
During the course of these checks particular attention should be paid to evidence of
deformation, cracks, damage to threads and corrosion. Mounting devices such as
shackles, chains and wire ropes should also be carefully checked for signs of wear or
deformation.
Any damaged components must be replaced immediately. Do not attempt to repair
the U-mount by yourself! If the rigging and mounting system is damaged, it must be
disposed of immediately. Please send the adjustable speaker mount / U-mount back to
Kling & Freitag GmbH or bring it to a professional scrap processing plant. It must by
all means be guaranteed that the system can no longer be used in any way after its
disposal.
For assembly only original Kling & Freitag parts may be used. The use of other parts --in particular parts by other manufacturers --- is not authorized.
Please adhere to the maximum admissible load capacity labelled on the U-Mount and
do not exceed the maximum admissible configurations (1 loudspeaker system incl.
mounting accessories on one U-mount).
The U-mount may not be used to lift and secure persons or objects aside from the
above-mentioned speakers.
Please refer also to the operating and safety instructions for the product on which the
adjustable speaker mount is to be suspended (e.g. truss). If no information is available
regarding safety of use and permissible load, then the rigging and mounting system
must not be suspended upon it. Make sure that the rigging points on the ceiling of
the hall (i.e. chain hoists) comply with the accident prevention regulation BGV C1
(presentation and production sites for scenic performances) or the comparable safety
regulations for your country. Furthermore, the total load must be approved by TÜV or
a comparable institution. If in doubt, let local authorities verify this.
Those persons entrusted with the task of erecting the rigging system are responsible
for ensuring the safe assembly and safe operation of the system.
These instructions and all other necessary information regarding safety of operation
must be distributed to all persons using the rigging and mounting system. The system
may not be assembled and put into operation unless these instructions have been
read and understood.
When chain hoists are being used to lift loudspeakers all persons must vacate the area
below and around.
Only those persons directly involved in the assembly and dismantling procedures may
be present while work is in progress. A clear signal must be given on each occasion
before the system is raised, lowered or released from its rigging. All persons must
then remove themselves from the radius of movement.
