1. General Safety Instructions

CAUTION

Risk of electric shock!

Do not open the units!

Warning: To avoid electric shock hazard, do not expose this

appliance to rain or moisture. The enclosures may only be

opened by qualified personnel!

Do not install devices in any of the following places:

− where the devices are permanently exposed to direct sunlight.

Warning

− near any heat sources and open fire. Do not put candles etc. on top of the speaker.

− where the airflow for cooling is blocked. A minimum distance of 10 cm to the heat

sink on the rear of the speaker must be kept.

− where the devices are exposed to high moisture. Objects filled with liquids, such as

a vase, must not be placed on the speaker.

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

Power supply

Before connecting the AC power cable of the SP speaker, please check if the available voltage is compatible with the operating voltage as indicated on the unit. If this is not the case, then the unit needs to be adapted by the manufacturer or an authorized service centre. If the unit is not compatible with the available voltage, it should never be connected! This could irreparably ruin the SP speaker. Make sure that the power outlet supplies a ground connector, which must be connected to the unit via the PE conductor of the power cord! All equipment, which is connected together using signal cables and has a connection to protective earth, must be connected to a common PE conductor. If not, there is a risk of an electric shock or the destruction of the connected equipment. The power plug must always be used to disconnect from the power supply. Furthermore, the power plug must be easily accessible for use at all times.

Protection of electrical cables

Power cords should be laid in such a way that they are protected against footstep damages, tensile strain and against being trapped.

Transportation

When transporting the equipment, make sure that it is protected from vibrations.

Cleaning

The equipment should only be cleaned with a damp cloth when it is not plugged in.

Pauses in use

The power cord should be disconnected from the power source during longer pauses in use.

Intrusion of objects or liquids

No objects or liquids should intrude or leak into the equipment.

Page 6

User’s Manual LINE 212-6 - SP / LINE 212-9 - SP

Maintenance and technical service

The user should not perform any maintenance work on the equipment other than that which is described in this manual. Repairs should be executed by a qualified service technician only.

In the following cases, the unit should be serviced by an authorized technician only if:

− the power cord or the mains connectors have been damaged.

− objects or liquids have gotten into it.

− it was exposed to rain.

− it doesn't appear to be functioning properly.

− it has fallen down or the enclosure is damaged.

Warning

Mounting the speakers

If the weight of the speaker exceeds 25 kg then it is necessary for two people to carry it. To prevent injury, this equipment must be securely placed on the floor or secured to the

wall according to the mounting instructions. Speakers, which are stacked, must be secured with securing 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.

Speakers may only be suspended by qualified personnel. 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. The speakers must be hung by using at least two of the designated flying points. The

same applies when lifting and aligning the speakers. 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 assembly equipment.

For mobile and fixed installations, use only rigging equipment from KLING & FREITAG. Make sure to observe the included safety and mounting instructions for loudspeakers and accessories.

Unwanted interference

RF interference on the power cord or on the line signal cables may lead to unwanted sound interference.

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.

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 SP speaker is connected while equipment is being

connected, disconnected or switched on.

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.

2. Introduction SP Loudspeakers

‘SP’ denotes ‘Self Powered’ series in the K&F range of loudspeakers. Based on selected K&F speaker systems, the ‘SP’ models are equipped with state-of-the-art integrated driver circuits and Class D power amplifier technology. The extremely lightweight system electronics replace ponderous racks, power amplifiers, controllers, and speaker cables.

Aside from the integrated power amplifier and input modules with controller functions, the full-range systems possess a passive crossover so that the advantageous features provided by the K&F passive technology (all-pass filter, protection circuits) remain usable. The frequency separation for the subwoofers is controlled by an active 110 Hz low-pass filter.

Integrated phase optimisation allows for all systems in the ‘SP Series’ to be combinable with one another. With this, the ‘SP’ speakers, when the filter section is switched off, have a completely comparable sound to the corresponding versions without integrated power amplifier technology. Operations using the K&F C2 Controller are also possible, which is, for example, appropriate for combined applications with equivalent passive systems or for the use of C2 presets (clustering = Top Low Cut, Bass-Boost etc.).

Operating the ‘SP Series’ is incredibly easy: The full-range systems reproduce the complete frequency spectrum. If necessary, the ‘SP’ subwoofers in parallel operations can provide an additional bass boost.

The Input Module

− Line signal input

− Limiter section (feed-forward RMS-limiter and peak limiter in feed-back design).

− High pass filter, 45 Hz tops, and 32 Hz subwoofers

− Low pass filter 110 Hz (only subwoofer systems)

− System specific, switchable frequency deemphasis (‘FILTERS ON/ OFF’) controllable

by a covered switch on the connecting terminal

− Phase correction

− Level adjustment (countersunk level control on the connecting terminal)

The Amplifier Module

− 1 x, or 2 x 1 kW Class D state-of-the-art power amplifier

− Minimal dimensions (speaker dimensions of the models without the ‘SP’ module are

retained)

− Low weight (weight increase of 2.5 / 4 kg as compared to systems without the ‘SP’

module; and with the Line 212 --- SP, the weight even stays identical)

− High efficiency enables convection cooling, because of which bothersome fans are

unnecessary

− High fidelity (even in high frequency range) and a large power bandwidth resulting

from impedance optimisation

Page 8

User’s Manual LINE 212-6 - SP / LINE 212-9 - SP

Modes of Operation

− Operations without external controller:

with activated filters (FILTERS ‘ON’), all K&F models in the ‘SP Series’ are combinable with one another by simply linking the signal from one speaker to the next.

− With optional K&F system controller*:

with system plug-in cards via the K&F Controller C2 or an Audio DSP*

− if used with BSS Soundweb, FDS 366, 336, 334, and XTA DP 226, 224, K&F sys-

tem parameters are available upon request

* The operation of the K&F ‘SP’ models with Controller C2 or Audio DSP is recommended for uses in which special filter presets are advisable, i.e. in combination with passive systems of the ‘CA Series’, in cluster operations (top low cut), when bass and high boost are necessary, adjustment to the room acoustics (EQ), etc.

The following K&F ‘SP’ speakers are available:

Full-range systems: CA 1001 - SP, CA 1201 - SP, CA1215-6 - SP, CA 1215-9 - SP CA 1515-6 - SP, CA 1515-9 - SP LINE 212-6 - SP, LINE 212-9 --- SP

Subwoofers: SW 112 - SP, SWi 112 - SP, SW 115E - SP, SWi 115E - SP, SW 118E - SP, SWi 118E - SP, SW 215E - SP

3. Connectors, Controls und Displays

Warning

1) LINE IN and LINE OUT (+6 dB)

Electronically balanced input and output connectors. Use the XLR female connector (marked ‘IN’) as input. The parallel-wired XLR male connector (‘OUT’) is for connection to further ‘SP’ loudspeakers.

2) GROUND LIFT

When the ‘Ground Lift’ switch is set to LIFT, pin 1 of the LINE IN connector (ground) is not connected to the chassis ground of the integrated amplifier module. The ground connection between LINE IN (XLR male) and LINE OUT (XLR female) is maintained. The use of the ‘Ground Lift’ switch is sometimes necessary in dealing with hum problems (see chapter 10.1 )

User’s Manual LINE 212-6 - SP / LINE 212-9 - SP

4) GAIN CONTROL (± 6 dB)

a) The gain control can be used to adjust the input level of the amplifier module

by ± 6dB. It serves to balance the volume levels of the various systems. In order to avoid overloading the input circuit or mixer’s output circuit, it should normally be set in the case of K&F full-range systems at 0 dB (centre notch setting).

b) When operating with C2 Controller, set the input level of the amplifier mod-

ule on the C2 Controller (Input Gain). The gain control on the SP speaker should be set at 0 dB (centre notch setting). One exception to this rule is a cluster arrangement, in which the inner speakers should be set at a lower level than the outer ones. In this case, the level of the gain control on the inner SP speakers can be adjusted downwards accordingly.

When operating with additional bass systems it is very important that the respective volume levels between the top speakers and the bass systems are correctly balanced. To this end, the sound engineer should check the volume levels during the set-up and adjust them accordingly. When setting up a system without C2 Controller this adjustment should be carried out using the gain control of the SP subwoofer; in the case of a system with C2 Controller, use the 'Sub Gain' control on the C2 Controller.

Normally we recommend the following settings*

Configuration:

Configuration: Gain control

Configuration:Configuration:

* These details may vary due to different room geometries. The position of a bass

speaker is also crucial for its actual sound level. A bass speaker, which is on the floor, can be a few decibels louder than a flown bass system because of the floor reflections. Because of this, a sound engineer must always fine-tune the system using the corresponding level controls.

5) FILTERS ON / OFF (High Pass / Low Pass / Equalizer)

This switch turns the filter in the SP module on (‘ON’), or off (‘OFF’). a) The switch should always be in the ‘ON’ position when the speakers are being

driven without

C2 Controller.

b) The switch should always be in the ‘OFF’ position when the speakers are being

driven with

C2 Controller.

The filters consist of:

− high-pass: protects the speakers against mechanical stress due to frequen-

cies outside the speaker's frequency range (protection against subsonic frequencies)

− EQ: filter for basic equalization, optimising the frequency response of the

speaker systems.

Furthermore, the SP filter module has a phase alignment, which prevents loss of certain frequencies due to phase shift between mid-high and bass systems. Thus the combination of all available K&F mid-high SP systems with all K&F bass SP systems is possible, and 100% phase compatibility with all K&F speakers operating in conjunction with the K&F C2 Controller in the ‘2-way active’ mode is guaranteed.

6) LED POWER ON (GREEN) and LIMIT / PROTECT (RED)

The LED is dual-purpose: a) When the LED is green, the speaker is connected to the supply voltage and

ready for operation

b) The LED will turn red if…

…the input signal is so high that the internal limiters reduce its level. The limiters consist of a peak limiter, which limits the peaks of the signal,

and an RMS / thermal limiter, which continuously regulates excessive levels. During normal operation, the red light may occasionally illuminate briefly when the barely audible limiter cuts in to limit peak levels. It does indicate that the level peaks are limited by the limiter circuit. The peak performance of the speaker has then been reached.

Should the red light come on more frequently or remain illuminated, the output level of the mixer should be reduced. When speakers with and without SP module are in operation simultaneously, the gain control on the SP speaker can be turned down, provided the level is sufficient for the other power amplifiers. The limiter protects the speaker from damage due to excessive levels.

Page 12

User’s Manual LINE 212-6 - SP / LINE 212-9 - SP

c) The LED stays permanently red, if…

…the protection circuitry of the integrated power amplifier cuts in and as a result, no further signal reaches the speaker (Protect Mode).

The protection circuitry switches off the integrated power amplifier,…

− …if the temperature of the amplifier module is too high. As soon as

the temperature falls below the critical value, the amplifier module is switched on again automatically. Excessive temperatures can be caused for example by inadequate ventilation of the heat sink. Make sure that the heat sinks are not covered or positioned directly against a wall.

− …if the output impedance is too low or in the case of a short circuit,

caused for example by a defective chassis or a faulty component on the crossover.

− …if the amplifier has an internal fault. The SP amplifier module checks

that all is functioning correctly during operation. As soon as a fault becomes apparent, the module switches into protect mode. If only one module has a fault, the input signal is attenuated by 70 dB, to prevent damage to the other module.

Measures to be taken when LED is red:

Fault Measure Function

LED remains red or flickers continually during operation. No output signal, LED shows red in spite of reduced mixer level. No output signal, LED stays red after cooling down. Output signal is too low, no bass frequencies or no high

Reduce output level on mixer until the LED goes out or flickers only occasionally Allow to cool. The amplifier module switches itself on after a few minutes. Provide sufficient ventilation.

We recommend using the BGV C1 certified and type tested Click & Fly Rigging System for mounting the Line 212 systems (see the ‘Click & Fly for Line 212 / SW215E' user's manual).

Please follow the following instructions for flown operations without the Click & Fly Rigging System:

Wrong:

− The upper rigging points of the top speaker

must carry the full load. Consequently, the permissible max. load of the top points is exceeded.

− The speakers are not secured by the additional

safeties.

Right:

− The load of the individual speakers is threaded

through the bent continuous bracket. The load is, therefore, held by the bracket and the speakers’ flying points consequently only have to carry the load of the corresponding speaker.

− The speakers are connected to one another on

the rear. The suspension point is located on the connection of the two lower speakers. As a result, the load is distributed to both speakers.

8. Coverage Pattern of the Line 212 --- SP Systems

The Line 212 can be operated in a vertical or horizontal position. The coverage pattern of the speaker can be adapted to special needs by a 90° rotatable horn.

The following graphics demonstrate how to recognize how the built-in horn emits in a standing speaker: To determine the coverage pattern of the high frequency horn, shine a flashlight through the front covering at the level of the horn. You will find a silver stripe that determines the position and coverage angles of the horn.

8.1 Changing the Coverage Pattern

The front grille of the Line 212 - SP is divided into two sections (except the version ‘Outdoor Installation’). Changing the coverage angle is possible by only removing the upper section of the grille. To turn the horn, follow these steps:

1) Disconnect the power plug!

2) Make sure that no objects fall into the enclosure!

3) Remove the four grille mounting screws from the top on the sides of the speakers

with a 3 mm Allen key and remove the grille from the speaker enclosure. It may be necessary to use a screwdriver in the middle of the top grille edge to pry up the grille. There is a groove in the grille in this position (under the locking profile) just for this purpose.

4) Remove the six screws from the high frequency horn (also using a 3 mm allen key).

Loosen the high frequency horn by using both hands, palms to the outside, to grasp into the horn and lift the horn with even pressure from the palms of your hands towards the outside. Never use a screwdriver or similar objects to reach behind the edge of the horn, as this could damage it.

5) Rotate the horn 90° and screw the horn on tightly again (do not force it!).

6) Screw the grille on tightly.

If the coverage angle needs to be changed often, make sure that the horn is not always rotated in the same direction, as the connecting cable may cause the contacts of the driver to become loose. Open wires may hit other live parts: Danger of electrical

shock.

9. Mounting Instructions for Speakers

Mount the speakers securely. To avoid injury or damage, always be sure to mount the speakers securely so that they do not fall. Speakers, which are stacked, must be secured with securing straps. When laying the connecting cables, make sure that nobody can trip.

The stability of stacked systems (also valid for the use of stands and distance rods!) is

Warning

contingent upon the following stability requirement. These conditions must, therefore, be guaranteed by the user:

Stacked systems may not fall over even if they are inclined by 10° in each direction. If this requirement is not fulfilled, then it is necessary to take steps to achieve compliance. Possible measures include strapping it to an appropriate base structure or fastening it using safety straps.

We recommend using the optionally available transport covers with castors when transporting and positioning the system. These covers have handles, which considerably simplify the carrying and stacking of the Line 212 systems. We therefore recommend removing the covers after

the systems have been positioned. Always loosen the lower

catch first so that the cover does not fall over.

9.1 Proper Arrangement of the Loudspeakers

Be aware of the fact that the logical targeted alignment of this high quality speaker system can lead to a significant qualitative increase in the acoustic result. It is not possible to make generalities about the alignment of specific systems because the room has a substantial influence on the signal and the audible result.

As a rule, the mid- and high-transducers of loudspeakers should be mounted above the audience's face value, so that the sound distribution cannot be shadowed.

In many cases, it is advisable to mount a loudspeaker higher, so that the sound will be distributed throughout the room more evenly. Low standing systems result in a greater difference in volume between front and back seats than higher standing systems.

Please note that this is only a general guideline and the best possible result may vary from room to room.

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

The following graphics will assist in making a rough estimate as to the distance range of speaker systems. The graphics only take into consideration the sum of the direct sound and not the influence of the room. Because of this there can, in some cases, be noticeable deviation.

9.2 Arrayed Speaker Systems (Cluster)

If the loudspeakers are operated through the optional K&F C2 System Controller, we recommend turning on the 'Top Low Cut' switch for clustered operation. Thus the frequency response for this application can be optimised (see also K&F C2 User's Manual).

If the Line 212 Systems are operated in a cluster without the C2 Controller (speakers are set up directly next to one another), then lower the ' scribed below!

1. If several Line 212-6 with a horn coverage pattern of 65°h x 50°v are arranged on one side (cluster / array), it is recommended for the Line 212-6 to have a horizontal array angle of 38.5° to one another (see fig. 2).

2. In a cluster comprised of a combination of the Line 212-6 with Line 212-9, we recommend an array angle of 45° (see fig. 3).

3. With a rotated horn (Line 212-6 standing: 50°h x 65°v / Line 212-9 standing: 50°h x 90°v), an array angle of 30° is recommended for both versions (see fig. 1).

Because increased interference effects occur when several 90° systems are arranged next to one another, the clustering of several Line 212- 9 is only conditionally recommendable.

10. Wiring

Before connecting your SP system, be sure to switch off all connected appliances and turn down all level controls.

− We recommend the use of high-quality cables provided by KLING & FREITAG.

− For connections to the line signal inputs, please use 2-pin shielded microphone cable

with high-quality connectors.

− Avoid ground loops (see chapter 10.1 )

− Make sure that the pin assignment of the line level connectors is correct. (2 +/ 3 - / 1 ┴).

10.1 Avoiding Ground Loops

10.1.1 What is a Ground Loop?

Every component of a P.A. or Hi-Fi System has its own internal 0V reference (ground). This point is often connected to the protective earth connector (PE / Ground). If two or more units are connected to one another with a line level audio cable, there may be a ground connection through the ground of the power supply cable (yellow-green) as well as through the shielding of the audio cable. The voltage difference between these two ground points causes audible interference to come from the speaker.

Warning

10.1.2 Avoiding Ground Loops

If there is a loud humming or buzzing after the ‘SP’ System has been connected, then set the ‘Ground Lift’ switches on the rear of the ‘SP’ speakers to the ‘Lift’ position (chapter: 3 / section 2)

If the noise is still audible, check if

1. the noise is caused by a ground loop before the speakers (e.g. mixing console, effects or equalizers).

2. the system or parts of the system are connected to an ‘unclean’ power supply meaning one which is also running large motors or lighting systems. An ‘unclean’ supply voltage, electrostatic and electromagnetic fields can cause interference

Please observe the following basic rules:

− Never !!! try to avoid a ground loop by disconnecting or taping the ground

contact at the connector! Extremely dangerous!

− If possible, only use high-quality audio appliances with balanced signal outputs and

power cables with PE connectors.

− Use high-quality cables with good shielding.

− The point of ground for all connected components should merge at one central

point. The power connections should lead out in a radial manner from one point and not be linked from one unit to the next.

− When installing appliances that create strong electrostatic or electromagnetic fields

(large transformers, switch-mode power supplies), maintain some distance from other audio appliances. In extreme cases, the only solution is to create a completely independent ‘audio ground’; in other cases, it is sufficient to connect a filter in front of the audio equipment.

User’s Manual LINE 212-6 - SP / LINE 212-9 - SP

10.2 Connecting the Power Connectors to the Connecting Terminal

Only use the supplied power cable and connect it to a mains outlet with a 16 A fuse. See instructions in chapter 4‚ ‘Power Cord’ on page 13.

11. Configurations and Connecting Diagrams

11.1 Operating the Systems without C2 Controller

The full-range system can be used alone or in conjunction with an SP subwoofer. The subwoofer has an integrated filter for use in this mode, which limits the bandwidth.

The full-range system is protected against low frequency (subsonic) signals by a highpass filter and when used with bass speakers it is phase aligned with the subwoofers by means of alignment filters.

11.1.1 Full-Range Mode

This mode of operation is ideal for speech and music applications without the need for a high bass content. Should more bass be needed, the bass level can be increased between 50 and 80 Hz at the mixing console.

11.2 Operating the Systems with C2 Controller

The frequency responses of SP speakers with switched off filters (FILTERS ‘OFF’) are compatible with those of the corresponding K&F speakers without SP modules (version without XO for subwoofers). The speakers can be driven via the C2 controller with the respective system plug-in cards. In doing so, it is possible to use features as bass-boost in full-range mode, cluster optimisation (top low cut), high-boost or the sub-mono function.

11.3 Maximum Configuration

It is possible to use a large number of SP speakers in parallel simultaneously, however, this number is limited according to the permitted minimum load impedance of the signal source (e.g. mixer, equalizer, etc.).

The total input impedance of all SP speakers must be larger than the permitted minimum load impedance of the signal source. If no manufacturer’s recommendations can be found, take the output impedance of the signal source. In this case, we recommend a total input impedance at least 10 times higher than the stated output impedance of

Important

the signal source. (The output impedance of your signal source can normally be found under ‘Technical

Specifications’ in the manufacturer’s instruction manual).

12. Operating the Speakers

− Switch off all equipment and make sure that the SP speakers are not connected to a

power source.

− Connect your SP systems in accordance with the preceding connection diagrams.

Use only mains cables, which comply with your national safety regulations.

− Upon completing the wiring, ensure that the connected speakers are working in phase. To

do so, use i.e. a phase checker. A phase error can also be recognized when the connected channels are used simultaneously. During simultaneous use the bass frequencies become notably quieter or the mid-frequencies such as voices cannot be located.

Warning

− Switch on first the peripheral units (mixer, effects, etc.), then, if used, the C2 Controller

and connect lastly Otherwise switching noises may damage the system.

the SP loudspeakers. Always use the before mentioned switching order.

− If there is interference, turn off all appliances in the reverse order and check all cable

connections (see chapter 10.1 ). Next, turn up the C2 Controller, if used, and all other peripheral units, and check these for interference.

−

Your system should now be ready for operation.

− You can now turn up the level on the mixer.

− If you are using additional bass systems, you can now balance the respective volume

levels of the top speakers and bass systems. A fine adjustment of the system without C2 Controller can be obtained using the gain control on the SP loudspeakers (not on the mixer!). To adjust the system with C2 Controller use the ‘Sub Gain’ control of the C2 Controller (see chapter 3. / section 2)

− When switching off the system first disconnect the ‘SP’ loudspeakers. Then you can switch

off the remaining units.

13. Touching Up Damage to Paint / Changing the Front Foam

Although the PU structured paint used by KLING & FREITAG is extremely resistant, we recommend using protective covers or cases to help avoid damaging the paint during i.e. continuous mobile use. If paint damage occurs despite these precautions, it can be touched up by using commercial acrylic paint in the appropriate RAL colour of the speaker. To replace the filter foam, send the front grille incl. foam to KLING & FREITAG GmbH. Upon payment for expenses, the grille with the new covering will be returned.

19. Regulations for Disposal

19.1 Germany:

It is not allowed to dispose of used electrical equipment as domestic waste.

But please do not All Kling & Freitag products are plain business-to-business (B2B) products. Disposal of

Kling & Freitag products labelled with a waste bin sign have thus to be disposed of by Kling & Freitag alone. Please call Kling & Freitag at the number stated below if you have a Kling & Freitag product to be disposed. We will offer you a straightforward and professional disposal not affecting costs.

If there is no dustbin sign on one of your Kling & Freitag products, because they have been sold before March 2006 then by law the owner is in charge of the disposal. For these we will be happy to assist and offer you proper ways of disposal.

Telephone number to call about the disposal of used Kling & Freitag products: +49 (511)-96 99 7-0

Explanation: With the ElektroG (law relating to electrical and electronic equipment and appliances)

we have complied with the EU-directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE, 2002/96/EC)

The Kling & Freitag AG has thus labelled all products mentioned in the WEEE from 03/24/2006 onwards with a sign with a crossed out waste bin and a white bar below. This sign indicates that the disposal into the domestic waste is prohibited and that the product has been put into circulation at the 03/24/2006 earliest.

The Kling & Freitag GmbH has been legally registered as a manufacturer with the registration office EAR. Our WEEE Registration-Nr. is: DE64110372

For the German Registration office EAR we have accredited that our products are sole B2B products.

dispose of them at official collecting points for recycling either!

19.2 EU, Norway, Island, and Liechtenstein (not Germany):

It is not allowed to dispose of used electrical equipment as domestic waste.

The Kling & Freitag AG has thus labelled all products coming from EU-Member countries as well as Norway, Island and Liechtenstein (except Germany) mentioned in the WEEE from 08/13/2005 onwards with a sign with a crossed out waste bin and a white bar below. This sign indicates that the disposal into the domestic waste is prohibited and that the product has been put into circulation at the 08/13/2005 earliest.

Unfortunately the European directive WEEE has been complied with implementing different national provisions of law throughout all member countries, which makes it impossible for us to offer consistent solutions for the disposal throughout Europe.

Responsible for complying with these provisions of law is the local distributor (importer) of each country.

For proper disposition of used products in accordance with these local provisions in the mentioned countries of the European Union (except Germany) please ask your local dealer or the local authorities.

19.3 Other countries

For proper disposition of used products in accordance with local provisions in other countries please ask your local dealer or the local authorities.
