3. Safety Instructions

Warning

For commercial use as specified in this document only! To prevent personal injury and damage, be sure to securely place or suspend the speaker as

specified in the locally applicable standards. The information described here does not relieve the user of the duty to follow the given

safety requirements and legal regulations. Only qualified technicians are permitted to perform the installation steps. Be sure to use

personal protective equipment at all times. The persons in charge with putting up the speaker are responsible for safe setup and use and

must guarantee it. In mobile and stationary installations, always use installation parts supplied by KLING &

FREITAG. Unless otherwise stated, use KLING & FREITAG original parts only. Never use other parts (in

particular, parts not made by KLING & FREITAG). Be sure to always visually inspect all safety-related speaker and accessory components before

use. In fixed installations, check the speaker for signs of wear at regular intervals. If there are signs of wear, cracks, or deformation, etc., replace the affected parts immediately.

Caution

Run the cables in a way that nobody can trip over them. At least 2 people are necessary to carry the speaker.

Preventing Hearing Damage

Keep your distance from operating speakers. Even loudness levels of approx. 90 dB - that you subjectively judge as being low - can lead to hearing damage.

3.1 Notes for Mounting the Speakers

Warning

Mount the speakers securely. To avoid injury or damage, always be sure to mount the speakers securely so that they do not fall.

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.

Run the cables in a way that nobody can trip over them.

3.2 Instructions for Speaker Stacking

Warning

Falling speakers pose the threat of fatal injuries to people near them!

Be sure to follow the relevant national specifications, norms, and safety regulations. Always make sure that a sufficient safety level is still given, even when outside forces have

an additional impact on the stacked speakers. Before setup, carefully ascertain if there are any possible outside forces that could result in the array falling over. (Slant of the ground / the bearing capacity of the ground / wind / person or vehicle impact, etc.). A technical expert who is responsible for the setup must evaluate and determine necessary measures (including calculating the statics). If necessary, obtain expert proof of stability.

Stacked systems may not fall over even if they are inclined by 15° 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. A planned tilt of the loudspeakers ist not permissible. In calculations, the tilted setup serves the purpose of levelling out unevenness.

User's Manual K&F NOMOS XLT

With the set-up systems for which you cannot verify the structural safety without safeguards, you must secure them to prevent sliding or tipping in order to provide proof of this safety. To secure the system from tipping over, use water tanks or floor bolts. Other possible measures include strapping it to a suitable substructure or tying it using safety straps.

For outdoor and trade fair venues in which wind loads must be considered, additional proof of stability is necessary.

Make sure that the stacking feet of subwoofers stacked on top of one another are securely positioned in the grooves of the lower speaker.

If you place a top speaker on a NOMOS XLT you must always strap the speakers to one another and secure them from falling over.

3.3 Protecting the Speakers / Operating Safety

NOMOS XLT speakers may only be used in combination with a K&F SystemAmp/SystemRack. In general, audio signals must 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 activates a clipping warning signal. In any case, the signal must be reduced as soon as it sounds unnaturally distorted.

For damage caused by

• overloading the speakers or

• using the speakers without K&F SystemAmp/SystemRack

we do not assume warranty and excludes liability for possible consequential damage.

The following signals may damage the speakers:

• permanent high-level signals with high frequency and continuous noise from feedback,

• permanently distorted high-level signals,

• noises, which occur when the amplifier is on while equipment is being connected, disconnected or switched on.

Do not install devices in any of the following places:

• where the devices are permanently exposed to direct sunlight.

• where the devices are exposed to high moisture or rain.

• where the devices 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 connected. 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.
