1. Safety Instructions

The rigging system may only be suspended by trained specialised personnel with proof of their qualifications as a certified 'rigger'.

The Click & Fly System is only for professional use and is only to be used to mount

Warning

Kling & Freitag speakers SW 215E, SW 215E – SP, Line 212 and Line 212 – SP. 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 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 array 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 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 Click & Fly system by yourself! If the flyware is damaged, it must be disposed of immediately. Please send the Click & Fly system 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 of the Click & Fly system (135 kg / Main Bar), and do not exceed the maximum admissible configurations (chapter 9).

The Click & Fly system 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 Click & Fly system is to be suspended (e.g. truss). If no information is available regarding safety of use and permissible load, then the rigging 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 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 move loudspeaker arrays all persons must vacate the area below and around.

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.

Page 6

User’s Manual Click & Fly® for LINE 212 / SW 215E

The safe operation of the rigging system depends upon various factors specific to the area of operation. For example, adverse weather conditions such as wind or rain can impair the safety of the system. These factors must be considered and evaluated in each case.

If there is the slightest doubt with regard to the safety of the rigging system it may not be put into use.

Ensure that all connections are secured against coming loose and that only authorized, statically tested and correctly sized supports, mounting equipment, wire ropes

3. General Instructions for using the Click & Fly System

Definition:

Horizontal Array Vertical Array

The suspension of speaker systems must be carried out only by trained specialist personnel.

The Click & Fly system must always be mounted with two wire ropes or chains, which are independent of one another! Furthermore

, the systems, no matter if individual or connected to one another, must be secured onto the Ancra flying track on the rear. The safety rope must have a minimum length of 100 cm and must be attached so that, in case it falls, the height of the fall is kept to a minimum. A possible fall height of 20 cm may not be exceeded! With a higher fall height, the dynamic load of a fall could be inadmissibly high; potential risk of system crash. Further information about the selection of permissible safety wire ropes and specifications about the correct diameter can be found in the supplied safety instructions for speakers and assembly equipment and also in the BG publication BGI 810-3 (SP 25.1/2-4) “Supply and Use of Safety Wire Ropes and Chains”.

Ensure that all connections are secured to prevent their detaching on their own and that only admissible statically tested and sufficiently sized connecting devices, ropes and chains are used. Please follow the accompanying safety and mounting instructions carefully.

If a single flown speaker system is to be mounted into a vertical alignment, attach a single stud fitting as a rigging point onto the middle of the Ancra flying track on the rear of the speaker.

If a speaker unit consisting of several connected systems is to be flown and aligned, then the individual speakers must be attached to one another via the Ancra flying track. Consult the provided illustration when doing so. For the rear connection of the loudspeaker systems use the double stud fittings included and the 1/2" shackle. Tighten the threaded bolt of the shackle with a torque of 10 Nm (hand-tight with 200 mm long lever, e.g. screwdriver). Alternatively, you can use proven, highstrength shackles with a cotter pin. Only in this way can you ensure that the bolt will not become loose.

The safety ropes of different systems must always come together at one point.

While installing, be sure that the system can swing in case a rigging point fails. With this in mind, the speaker must be mounted so that no people or objects are within the potential range of the swinging speakers.

In vertical operations Kling & Freitag speakers with a maximum weight of 73 kg may be mounted under one Line 212 or SW 215E system. To do this both flying points (Line 212) or flying tracks (SW 215E) at the bottom of the speaker must be used. In addition, it must be ensured that the speakers mounted below are also secured at two flying points.

4. Selection of the right System Connector

4.1 Connecting several Line 212 Systems

The following Click & Fly System Connectors are available for combinations of Line 212 Systems:

Click & Fly System Connector 30°:

If you want to array several Line 212 systems with a rotated horn

, we generally recommend using the 30° System Connector. It doesn't matter if the systems to be clustered consist only of Line 212-6, Line 212-9 or a combination of both systems. The horizontal coverage angle for each system with a rotated horn is 50°.

Click & Fly System Connector 38,5°:

If you want to array several Line 212-6 systems (horn not

rotated), we recommend using

the 38.5° System Connector.

Click & Fly System Connector 45°:

If you want to array a Line 212-6 (horn not

rotated) and a Line 212-9 (horn not rotated)

we recommend using the 45° System Connector.

If several 90° speakers without

a rotated horn are clustered, unwanted interference

effects may appear. As a result, this arrangement is not recommended.

If the loudspeakers are operated via the optional K&F C2 System Controller, we recommend turning on the top low cut switch for clustered operation of Line 212 systems. Thus the frequency pattern for this application can be optimised (see also K&F C2 User's Manual).

To simulate the correct alignment of the speakers beforehand, there are various programs such as "Ease", "Ulysses". The Kling & Freitag speaker system data is available for download on our website "www.kling-freitag.de".

The Click & Fly system must always be mounted with two wire ropes or chains, which are independent of one another!

Warning

Furthermore vidual or connected to one another, must be secured onto the Ancra flying track on the rear. This safety rope may be used for aligning the systems.

The safety rope must have a minimum length of 100 cm and must be attached so that, in case it falls, the height of the fall is kept to a minimum. A possible fall height of 20 cm may not be exceeded! With a higher fall height, the dynamic load of a fall could be inadmissibly high.

− A two-point suspension on the main bar was selected. Each speaker must nevertheless be secured with a safety rope. The safety ropes can also be fastened on the main bar of the Click & Fly system.

− The suspended speaker weighs no more than 73 kg. This falls within the 135 kg total load-bearing capacity of the main bar.

− The angle of the rope/chain in relation to the top of the mounted speaker is greater than 45°. This maintains the permissible load on the flying points.

− The rear mounted safety ropes come together at one point.

Right:

− The rigging points are selected so that the weight of the speakers is evenly distributed.

− The speakers are connected to one an- other on the rear with double stud fittings and shackles and are aligned by using the safety ropes. The suspension point is located on the connection point (shackle) of the three Line 212 systems. As a result, the load is distributed to the three Line 212 systems

on the rear with double stud fittings and shackles. The suspension point is located on the connection point (shackle) of the two lower Line 212 systems. As a result, the load is distributed to the two speakers.

Right:

− The two suspended speakers are not each di- rectly mounted on one flying point of the upper speaker systems. Instead, more Click & Fly main bars are mounted on the bottom of the upper speaker. In this way the load can be taken up by all four suspension points of the upper speakers. Please note that the closer the rigging points of the speakers hung from the bottom are located to the outer edge, the less evenly the load will be distributed over all 4 points. The maximum load is, therefore, limited to 53 kg.

− Each

speaker is secured with an additional safety rope. The safety ropes can also be fastened on the upper main bar of the Click & Fly system. In this case the safety ropes should be distributed on the two upper main bars.

− The rear mounted safety ropes come to- gether at one point.

Right:

− The cluster is hung from two independently acting chains fastened to the top drill holes of the Click & Fly Main Bars.

− The Line 212 Systems are connected to one another on the rear using double stud fittings and shackles and are secured with two safety ropes. The mounting points are at the connections (shackles) of the three Line 212 systems. In doing so, the load is distributed onto the three Line 212 systems.

− The cluster is suspended from two independently acting chains fastened to the middle drill holes of the two top Click & Fly Main Bars.

− The two subwoofers and both Line 212 Systems are connected to one another using double stud fittings and shackles and are secured/ aligned with safety ropes. The alignment point of the safety ropes is at the connecting points of the systems. In doing so, the load is distributed onto the speaker systems.

− The rear mounted safety ropes come together at one point.

11. Care and Maintenance

For the owner and user it is of the utmost importance to be aware that a rigging system is an extremely safety-sensitive accessory.

For this reason it is absolutely imperative to carry out careful and well-documented maintenance procedures and checks.

The Click & Fly system can with the passage of time begin to show signs of wear and tear due to mechanical strain, transportation damage, corrosion or improper treatment. As a rule this leads to an increased risk of accident.

As a general rule the Click & Fly system should be inspected each time it is packed or unpacked. If permanently installed the system should be checked for signs of wear at regular intervals.

The regular checking of rigging components is prescribed by law in many countries. Therefore, it is recommended that checks of this nature are carried out in the interest of your own safety. In most cases (BGV C1), an annual check is required. This should be carried out by specially trained skilled personnel. In addition, a detailed check has to be carried out by an official or state-recognised expert every four years. If your area of use (e.g. theatre, studio, stage etc.) requires such a check, please contact the responsible authorities for your location.

Very important in this respect is the completion of an inspection book. Details regarding cyclical checks are entered here for each component and are thus available for eventual control.

In addition an inspection book for the rigging systems used 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 Click & Fly system must be taken out of service at once.

If defects are detected, then the product must be sent to Kling & Freitag GmbH for inspection and, if possible, repair.

12. Storage and Transport

The Click & Fly system is effectively protected from short-term exposure to moisture by using KTL coatings. It is, however, to be stored, transported, and used in dry surroundings.

Furthermore, it must be ensured that the Click & Fly system is protected from mechanical strains so that no damage can be done as a result.

With this, we recommend using appropriate transport and storage containers, which protect the system from the afore-mentioned influences.

13. Disposal

The Click & Fly System may not be repaired by the owner or user! If it is damaged, then it must be immediately sent into the Kling & Freitag GmbH for repair or properly disposed of. It must by all means be guaranteed that the system can no longer be used in any way after its disposal.
