6. Safety Instructions

Warning

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 technicians responsible for assembling the flying frame on site are responsible for the safe setup and use of the flying frame and guarantee this.

To prevent injury and damage, be sure to securely place or suspend the speaker array as specified in the DGUV regulations 17 and 18 or similar locally applicable accident-control standards.

At least 2 people are necessary to set up the array. The flying frame is solely for commercial use and only for the suspension of the

KLING & FREITAG speaker models SEQUENZA 10 N, SEQUENZA 10 W, SEQUENZA 10 B in the manner described here.

If the simulation software CON:SEQUENZA displays "Load-Failed", the array may not be set up in the configuration simulated in the software. CON:SEQUENZA

Run the cables in a way that nobody can trip over them. Unless otherwise stated, use only KLING & FREITAG original parts for mounting the speakers.

Never use other parts (in particular, parts not made by KLING & FREITAG). In mobile and stationary installations, always use installation parts supplied by KLING &

FREITAG. Be sure to always visually inspect all array components before use. In fixed installations,

regularly check all array components for signs of wear. Visual inspection includes checking all speaker-system and flying frame components, supporting components (e.g. trusses, ceiling structures, etc.), and all screwed connections. When inspecting components of the flying frame, pay special attention to any deformations, cracks, damage to threads, and corrosion as well as the functional capability of the Quick Release Pins and the functional capability of the spring bolts. Also check slings and lifts (e.g. shackles, chains, and steel ropes) carefully for wear and deformation. If there are signs of wear, cracks, or deformation, etc., replace the affected parts immediately. See also the “Care and Maintenance” chapter on page 67.

6.1 Safety Instructions for Flying Configurations

Warning

Loudspeakers falling down impose a deadly risk for people standing near-by! Never use the array if you have any doubt regarding its safety and reliability!

Only qualified event technicians are permitted to suspend a flying frame.

Never suspend the speakers without the correct flying frame. The maximum working load limit (WLL) of the flying frame is – depending on the selected

load bearing drillings and types of speakers – 625 kg - 1000 kg. Maximum-load specifications refer to configurations including cabling and any fittings. The

provided simulation software 'CON:SEQUENZA' must be used to determine if the frame is loaded permissibly. The CON:SEQUENZA software does not account for the weight of extra cabling and fittings! When following the specifications of the CON:SEQUENZA calculation software, consider this additional weight and reduce the number of speakers accordingly.

If the simulation software CON:SEQUENZA does not confirm the compliance with DIN 18 800, the array may not be assembled in the simulated setup.

Warning

If the simulation software CON:SEQUENZA does not confirm the compliance with BGV C1, no one may be situated in this area between the assembly and disassembly – not even those involved in assembly and disassembly. You must effectively block off this area and secure it from trespassing.

User's Manual K&F SEQUENZA 10 N/W/B & Flying Frame

The following arrays (maximum configurations) fulfil the stipulations of the BGV C1 with their given design:

Maximum number of flown speakers:

• SEQUENZA 10 N and SEQUENZA 10 W: Arrays of up to 13 speakers and a flying frame inclination less than +/- 4°.

• SEQUENZA 10 B: Arrays of up to 12 speakers.

• SEQUENZA 10 N/W combined with SEQUENZA 10 B: For combined arrays consisting of SEQUENZA 10 N/W and SEQUENZA 10 B, a special verification with the CON:SEQUENZA simulation software is mandatory.

If these angles or the number of speakers is exceeded, it is mandatory that you separately verify the array with the CON:SEQUENZA simulation software. CON:SEQUENZA

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

Follow the relevant specified safety factors. The safety factors (SF) are stated on the back of the speakers and they comply with the BGV C1. Be sure to follow the relevant national specifications, norms, and safety regulations.

Note that every suspension point as well as the supporting structure of the building (i.e. ceiling points, cross beams and stage or PA tower, etc.) must be capable of carrying the total load of the system (including cabling and additional fittings).

Note that the suspension points on the hall ceiling (i.e. shackles, attachment points, or chain hoists) must comply with the DGUV regulations 17 and 18 or similar locally applicable accident-control standards. The maximum load must have been certified by an authorized expert. When in doubt, request a confirmation by local authorities.

Also follow the operating and safety instructions supplied with the product you intend to suspend the flying frame from (e.g. a truss). Never mount the flying frame to a product if there is no information on safe use and maximum load.

Even with two-fall suspension, each chain and motor must be capable of carrying the entire array mass! Make sure that the motor chains hang down vertically and are not twisted, and that the motors are located at the required positions.

When operating with chain hoists that do not comply with the BGV C1 or the D8+, no one may be present in the danger zone underneath or near the speaker array.

Secure the array from falling with a second independent safety fitting if no BGV C1 or D8+ motor is used.

Never use signal cables or power cords for suspending, aligning, or securing the systems. Run the cables in a way that nobody can trip over them.

Ensure there is sufficient clear space for assembling and suspending the array on-site. Remember that the array may swing out wide! Permit only personnel directly involved with assembly or disassembly to access the working

area. The person in charge must announce all flying frame lifting and lowering activities beforehand and make sure all people attending are aware. In this case, all persons present must leave the swing and lifting range immediately.

Never use the flying frame for lifting or safeguarding persons or objects other than the above speakers.

Never use an array as a climbing aid. The safe use of the flying frame and the speakers also depends on the various factors present

at the area of use. Weather conditions such as wind or rain, for example, can compromise the safety of the flying frame and speakers. Always consider and evaluate these factors. (See chapter 'Wind Loading' on page 16.)

User's Manual K&F SEQUENZA 10 N/W/B & Flying Frame

6.2 Safety Instructions for Stacked Setups

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.

For the standard safety inspection, you must always factor in an imperfection (tilt) of +/-5° and destabilising loads. A planned tilt of the flying frame ist not permissible. In calculations, the tilted setup serves the purpose of levelling out unevenness.

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. The simulation in the CON:SEQUENZA software is not valid as a verification of structural safety. This software always states that you must secure stacked speakers to prevent their falling over.

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

Only stack the SEQUENZA 10 N/W systems in conjunction with the SEQUENZA 10 flying frame and the optionally available SEQUENZA 10 Ground Stack Kit (stacking feet), which is intended to be used. Stacking of SEQUENZA 10 N/W without the optional feet is not permissible!

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

Maximum number of stacked speakers (Valid for indoor operations without wind, with a person impact of 10 kg at a height of 1.5 m and a flying frame tilt of 5°):

• SEQUENZA 10 N and SEQUENZA 10 W: arrays with up to 7 x SEQUENZA 10 N/W. To fixate the system to the floor, you can use the openings in the optional stacking feet (SEQUENZA 10 Ground Stack Kit).

• SEQUENZA 10 B flat: Arrays with up to 6 x SEQUENZA 10 B

• SEQUENZA 10 B vertical: Arrays with up to 2 x SEQUENZA 10 B You must additionally secure vertically standing stacked SEQUENZA 10 B systems from falling since the structural safety is not guaranteed, otherwise. Possible measures include strapping them to a suitable substructure or tying them using safety straps.

• SEQUENZA 10 N/W combined with SEQUENZA 10 B arrays with up to 7 x SEQUENZA 10 N/W on 6 x SEQUENZA 10 B.

SEQUENZA 10 B

If you are stacking a K&F top with feet (i.e. Line 212) on top of a SEQUENZA 10 B subwoofer that is placed on its side, make sure that the Quick Release Pins have not been damaged in their stand-by positions.

You must always strap such setups to one another and secure them from falling over.

User's Manual K&F SEQUENZA 10 N/W/B & Flying Frame

7 13.9 – 17.1 Near gale Whole trees in

motion; resistance felt in walking against wind

8 17.2 – 20.7 Gale Twigs and small

branches broken off trees

Warning

For outdoor uses, we recommend using at least a BGV D8+ hoisting device to avoid wind causing the release of the secondary safety device.

If wind speeds higher than Beaufort 5 are expected, you must constantly consider the wind speed and its possible influence on the array. As well as the fact that the wind speed increases the higher the array is.

With expected wind speeds exceeding Beaufort 5, construct the rigging and safety points so that they can carry at least twice the static load.

With wind speeds exceeding Beaufort 6 (14 m/sec.), arrays are not recommended. As of a wind speed of Beaufort 6, you must clear the area under the speakers. Effectively

prevent the arrays from swaying in the wind by tying them off or using a lateral fixation. If the suspended load sways, it can create significant inertial force that can result in the PA tower structurally collapsing or tipping.

User's Manual K&F SEQUENZA 10 N/W/B & Flying Frame

With wind speeds of Beaufort 8 or more, you must lower and disassemble the array.

User's Manual K&F SEQUENZA 10 N/W/B & Flying Frame

6.4 Preventing Hearing Damage

Caution

Keep your distance from operating speakers. This equipment is capable of delivering sound pressure levels in excess of 90 dB SPL, which may cause permanent hearing damage.

6.5 Protecting the Speakers / Operating Safety

SEQUENZA 10 N/W/B 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.

User's Manual K&F SEQUENZA 10 N/W/B & Flying Frame

7. Using the Quick Release Pins

The Quick Release Pins are equipped with retaining balls. By pushing the button in the middle of the pin, you can release these balls and then insert or remove the pin. As long as you do not push the button in the middle of the pin, you should not be able to pull out the pin.

8. Removing the Transport Covers

In order to remove the transport cover, push the latch in the round opening towards the middle of the transport cover (1), slightly pull the transport cover on the side of the latch toward you (2), and remove the cover to the side (3). When doing this, do not pull the transport cover towards you too much, as this could cause the catch on the other side of the cover to bend.

9. Positioning of the Load Adapters

Using the CON:SEQUENZA software, you can simulate both single-fall and dual-fall configurations. For one-strand rigging, use one load adapter; for two-strand rigging, use two load adapters.

The drill holes on the flying frame where the load adapters are to be attached are determined by the simulation software CON:SEQUENZA. You will find the specifications on the relevant calculation printouts. The specification of the drill hole in the simulation software refers to the drill hole in the load adapter that is facing the front side of the frame. The front side of the frame is marked with a sticker (Front).

User's Manual K&F SEQUENZA 10 N/W/B & Flying Frame

The drill holes in the flying frame are numbered consecutively from 1 to 27, beginning on the front end of the frame (Front). For your orientation, the drill holes 5, 9, 15, 20, and 26 are labelled.

You can set the position of the load adapters in 1/2-steps because they are usable on both sides. This doubles the grid of the row of drill holes in the flying frame and thus the adjustment possibilities. The load adapters are labelled with '1/1 Grid' on the one side and '1/2 Grid' on the other. The simulation software CON:SEQUENZA gives you the information whether a load adapter should be mounted in the 1/1 or the 1/2 position. In the 1/1 position (A), the arrow on the 1/1 side of the load adapter must point toward the front side of the flying frame (Front). In the 1/2 position (B), the arrow on the 1/2 side of the load adapter must point toward the front side of the flying frame (Front).

Instructions for mounting the load adapter

Calculate the correct position of load adapters with the simulation software CON:SEQUENZA. CON:SEQUENZAIn this calculated position, the array is guaranteed to fly at the desired angle later, and the sound will be emitted correctly.

Warning

Always mount a load adapter with 2 Quick Release Pins!

User's Manual K&F SEQUENZA 10 N/W/B & Flying Frame

Take the load adapter (A) out of the stand-by position and place it on the hole position that was determined by the simulation software CON:SEQUENZA. Mount the load adapter with 2 Quick Release Pins (A).

With a two-strand rigging, proceed with the second load adapter accordingly.

10.

Caution

Tipping of the flying frame with speakers can result in injuries. To prevent the frame from tipping forward with the first speaker, always connect the speakers to one another first before connecting the flying frame.

To prevent the frame from tipping forward with the first speaker, let the spring bolts of the first two speakers snap into place before connecting the flying frame.

To do so, you must position the spring bolt of the second speaker horizontally and you may need to tilt the speaker slightly until the spring bolt snaps into place.

11. Place the frame in front of the

top speaker so that all joint plates (1) protrude into the frame, then connect them using the Quick Release Pins (2).

12. Insert the rear joint plate (1) of the

top speaker between the drill holes for the desired angle, and secure it with the Quick Release Pin (2). The tilt angle of the speakers relative to the flying frame is determined by the simulation software CON:SEQUENZA.

To fly the top speaker parallel (0°) to the flying frame, use the drill hole 'Flying 0°' (see illustration). To tilt the top speaker upwards by +3°, use the 'Flying +3°' hole (see illustration).

13. Wire the speakers. Further information in chapter 'Connection' on page 46.

Detailed information for connecting the speakers and configuring the K&F system amplifier TOPAS or the K&F SystemRack is in the hardware manuals.

11. Flown Disassembly

1. Basically, you disassemble the array in the reverse order of assembly.

2. Replace each transport cover when the speakers are hanging at working level.

3. Just before the bottom speaker

touches the ground, pull the array in the direction of the arrow.

This way, you make sure that the array does not stand on the side of the bottom speaker, but rather on the castors.

Warning

Always make sure that the chain hoist is hanging vertically during lowering. If you do not do this, the array could sway suddenly.

If the system is not standing on the castors, this could lead to diagonal pull during further lowering.

4. Lower SEQUENZA 10 B arrays far enough that all systems are on the wheels, then

prepare the SEQUENZA 10 speakers for transport.

• Place the used Quick Release Pins back onto their intended stand-by positions on the speaker and flying frame.

• Push all joint plates back into the speaker.

• Dismantle all other used components so that they are not exposed and get damaged during transport.

For arrays with SEQUENZA 10 N/W and a length exceeding 5 m, proceed as described in sub-section Disassembly of arrays with SEQUENZA 10 N/W exceeding a Length of 5 m.

For arrays with SEQUENZA 10 N/W and a maximum length of 5 m, proceed as described in sub-section Disassembly of arrays with SEQUENZA 10 N/W and a maximum Length of 5 m.

Then release the lower front Quick Release Pins of the next highest speaker (2) and remove the lowest speaker.

3. Disassemble as many speakers in this manner until the array only has a remaining

length of max. 5 m (For arrays only having SEQUENZA 10 N/W systems, this corresponds to 16 speakers). Then proceed as described in sub-section Disassembly of arrays with SEQUENZA 10 N/W and a maximum Length of 5 m.

11.2 Disassembly of arrays with SEQUENZA 10 N/W and a maximum Length of 5 m

1. When all four castors of the SEQUENZA 10 N/W speaker touch the ground, pull the spring bolt until it comes free.

During lowering, starting with the lowest speaker, there is a point for each speaker at which its rear connection is force-free. Pull the spring bolts out at this moment.

2. Prepare the SEQUENZA 10 system for transport:

• After you have completely lowered the array, release all Quick Release Pins and push

the speakers apart.

• With the SEQUENZA 10 N/W systems, set the Quick Release Pins of the rear

connecting brackets to the 0° position.

• Push all rear joint plates of the SEQUENZA 10 N/W systems into their park position

so that the spring bolts snap back into place. To put it into the park position, use the drill hole that is not completely drilled through in the rear joint plate.

• Pull the front Quick Release Pins and put them into the park position of the speaker

enclosure. If the safety cords on the Quick Release Pins protrude out of the side of the speaker, turn the Quick Release Pins so that the safety cords are in the grooves. This way you can protect the safety cords from transport damage.

• Push the front joint plates into the speaker.

• Dismantle all other used components so that they are not exposed and get damaged

during transport.

• Push all rear joint plates of the SEQUENZA 10 N/W systems into their park position

so that the spring bolts snap back into place. To put it into the park position, use the drill hole that is not completely drilled through in the rear joint plate.

14. Cardioid Arrays with SEQUENZA 10 B

The subwoofer SEQUENZA 10 B is designed so that it can be used as a cardioid and hypercardioid system in an array of three subwoofers, or in multiples of three.

A cardioid array results in an increase of sound pressure towards the front because of the rear-facing subwoofer. In the rear area (cardioid) or in the lateral side area (hypercardioid), on the other hand, the sound pressure is clearly reduced.

With this, you achieve

• less unwanted sound on the stage

• low feedback

• simplified miking

• improved room acoustics with fewer reflections from the rear and side walls, or – when

flown – from the ceiling

• simplified adherence of sound emission limits and therefore less noise disturbance for

nearby residential areas during open air events.

User's Manual K&F SEQUENZA 10 N/W/B & Flying Frame

14.1 Setup instructions for a cardioid array

To achieve a cardioid or hypercardioid pattern, you must always have an array with 3 subwoofers - or a multiple of 3 subwoofers - setup next to one another (3, 6, 9, etc.). In this set of three, the middle one must be stacked or flown rear-facing while both other subwoofers are front-facing.

The subwoofer and the flying frame SEQUENZA 10 allow for these setup options with their given design. You can stack the subwoofers even when they are facing opposite directions, and you can connect them to front-facing systems.

There is an additional SpeakOn connector on the front grille so that you can connect the cables to the rear-facing side of all subwoofers in a cardioid array.

You can choose from the following options for cardioid and hypercardioid setups:

3 x SEQUENZA 10 B horizontal

3 x SEQUENZA 10 B vertical

3 x SEQUENZA 10 B stacked

User's Manual K&F SEQUENZA 10 N/W/B & Flying Frame

When cardioid arrays are stacked on the floor, ensure that there is always a distance of at least 40 cm between each unit of 3.

40 cm [1,3 ft]

15. SEQUENZA 10 B combined with other K&F tops.

The SEQUENZA 10 B can also be combined with other K&F tops – in addition to the SEQUENZA 10 N/W systems – using the Controller CD 44.

• To do so, select the desired LS blocks for the top in the Controller CD 44 or systemamp

TOPAS, and combine these with the desired LS block for the SEQUENZA 10 B.

In the respective Hardware Manuals, you will find detailed descriptions about connecting the SEQUENZA 10 speakers and the settings necessary on the System Controller CD 44. SEQUENZA 10 B

On the top side of the subwoofer, there is a threaded flange (M20) for screwing in an optionally available distance rod.

All K&F tops with a flange connector or an assembled stand adapter can be placed onto this distance rod.

Warning

When you assemble a top onto a subwoofer using a distance rod, the structural safety is reduced. In this case, you must take suitable measures in order to guarantee the structural safety.

For subsequent repositioning, always remove the top speaker that has been positioned using a distance rod.

User's Manual K&F SEQUENZA 10 N/W/B & Flying Frame

16. Fuse in the SEQUENZA 10 B

To increase the operating safety of the SEQUENZA 10 B, the subwoofers are equipped with fuses at the signal input. These fuses reduce the risk of consequential damage resulting from a short circuit (i.e. charred cables / connectors / fire damage).

16.1 Replacing the Fuses

To replace defective fuses, remove the front grille of the SEQUENZA 10 B. The fuse holder is on the cable of the front connector (SpeakOn input). When necessary, only replace the fuse with the following original fuse:

17.4 Fixating the Cables

Never use an array as a climbing aid.

Fixate the cable to relieve the connectors.

In doing this, bear in mind that if you fixate the cable on the cable pick in a one-point rigging, the weight of the cable can change the angle. It is, therefore, only recommendable to fixate the cable on the cable pick in a two-point rigging. If necessary, use a separate cable pick.

25. Care and Maintenance

For the owner and user, it is mandatory to be aware of the fact that rigging systems are highly safety critical.

Note that the mains cable is supplied with either a connector appropriate for the place of delivery (see item number) or with open terminals (on the mains side).

The inspection requirements vary depending on application and country of use. Observe the requirements that are relevant for you. If in doubt, contact local authorities.

Many countries require regular inspection of mounting components and accessories. It is thus recommendable to carry through such an inspection for your own safety, too. An additional annual inspection is typically required to be performed by a technical expert. Moreover, a legally certified or official authority must perform a detailed inspection every four years.

Therefore, be sure to maintain an inspection log. Enter the values determined for each speaker and accessory during the periodic checks into this log. This way, relevant data are always at hand in case of inspection.

In addition an inspection book for the rigging components of the SEQUENZA 10 system should be kept and maintained carefully. SEQUENZA 10The log should also 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 defects are found, don’t use the speaker any longer. SEQUENZA 10

If defects are ascertained, then you must send in the product to KLING & FREITAG GmbH for inspection and repairs, if necessary.

You may not repair or straighten the system components of the SEQUENZA 10 System (speakers and flying frame) yourself! SEQUENZA 10If parts of the rigging system are damaged, send in the speakers or the flying frame to KLING & FREITAG GmbH or recycle it at a professional scrap processing plant. It must by all means be guaranteed that the parts can no longer be used in any way after their disposal.

25.1 Inspection Intervals and Items

The SEQUENZA 10 system can exhibit signs of wear over the years, for example, from mechanical strain, transport damage, corrosion, or improper handling. In general, this always indicates an increased accident risk.

As a basic principle, you must visually inspect the SEQUENZA 10 System every time you get it out or box it up. SEQUENZA 10For fixed installations, you must inspect the SEQUENZA 10 System at regular intervals for signs of wear. SEQUENZA 10

When performing those checks, particularly look for deformations, cracks, dents, damage to threads, and corrosion. Also check slings and lifts (e.g. shackles, chains, and steel ropes) carefully for wear and deformation.

During the inspection, you must also carefully inspect the following items:

• Mobility of the spring bolts. The bolts must move easily and snap securely into place.

They must protrude at least 0.5 mm out of the joining plate on the opposite side.

• Impact and corrosion damage on the flying frame and on the speaker enclosure.

26. Transportation and Storage

All metal components are protected against short-term moisture with a coating. SEQUENZA 10despite, be sure to store, transport, and use the accessories in dry environments only. The SEQUENZA 10 System is not designed for long-term use in a corrosive environment.

Make sure that the system is adequately ventilated during longer storage periods so any residual moisture can escape from the equipment.

Furthermore, you should ensure that all components of the SEQUENZA 10 System are protected from mechanical strain to prevent possible damage.

User's Manual K&F SEQUENZA 10 N/W/B & Flying Frame

We recommend using suitable transport and storage cases and the optional soft cover that protects from the above-mentioned influences.

27. Disposal

27.1 Regulations for Disposal

27.1.1 Germany

Don’t dispose of waste electrical equipment through household waste. Don’t deliver it to official recycling points either.

All KLING & FREITAG products are plain business-to-business (B2B) products. Therefore, KLING & FREITAG GmbH is exclusively responsible for disposing of all KLING & FREITAG waste equipment marked with a garbage-can icon. Please call the below phone number when you have a KLING & FREITAG product (marked with the garbage-can icon) for disposal. We will offer you a straightforward and professional disposal at no cost.

KLING & FREITAG equipment with no such icon was sold before 24 March 2006; in that case, the owner is legally responsible for disposal. We will, however, gladly assist you by naming appropriate ways of disposal.

For further disposal information of KLING & FREITAG waste products, call +49 (0)511-96 99 7-0 Background information: The Electrical and Electronic Equipment and Appliances Act

(ElektroG) is the German implementation of the European (EU) Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE, 2002/96/EC).

Therefore, starting on 24 March 2006, KLING & FREITAG GmbH has marked all products subject to the WEEE that are distributed in Germany with an icon showing a crossed-out garbage can with a white bar below it. The icon indicates that the equipment was distributed on or after 24 March 2006 and must not be disposed of through household waste.

KLING & FREITAG GmbH is legally registered as a manufacturer with the German wasteequipment registration authority (EAR). The WEEE registration number is: DE64110372.

We substantiated towards the EAR that our products are for B2B trade only.

27.1.2 EU, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein

Don’t dispose of waste electrical equipment through household waste.

Starting on 13 August 2005, KLING & FREITAG GMBH has marked all products subject to the WEEE directive that are distributed in any member state of the European Union (except Germany), Norway, Iceland, or Liechtenstein with an icon showing a crossed-out garbage can with a white bar below it. The icon indicates that the equipment was distributed on or after 13 August 2005 and must not be disposed of through household waste.

Unfortunately, the European WEEE directive was implemented in different national legislation in the EU member states, making it impossible to offer a consistent disposal solution throughout Europe.

The local distributor (sales partner) in the respective country is responsible for complying with the applicable legislation.

Contact your retailer or the local authorities for information on the regulations applicable in any EU member state (except Germany).

27.1.3 All Other Countries

Contact your retailer or the local authorities for information on the regulations applicable in any country not listed above.
