5. Safety Instructions

The information described here does not relieve the user of the duty to follow the given safety requirements and legal regulations.

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

To prevent damage to persons and property, you must set up or suspend the array in compliance with the specifications of the German safety regulation BGV C1 or comparable applicable national standards.

Der Flugrahmen darf ausschließlich für den professionellen Einsatz und nur zum Aufhängen, bzw. Aufstellen von KLING & FREITAG Lautsprechern der Typen SEQUENZA 5 W und SEQUENZA 5 B sowie in der hier beschriebenen Art und Weise verwendet werden.

It is only permissible to set up a configuration after the simulation software CON:SEQUENZA+ has indicated in the window 'Object properties' that this configuration is approved for use in the desired application.

You must observe and comply with the simulation software's safety instructions.

When laying out the connecting cables, make sure that nobody can trip. If not otherwise stated in this manual, only original KLING & FREITAG parts may be used for

mounting the speakers. The use of other parts - in particular parts by other manufacturers - is not permitted.

For mobile and fixed installations, use only assembly equipment from KLING & FREITAG. As a basic principle, you must visually inspect all components of the array before every use.

For fixed installations, you must inspect all components of the flying system for signs of wear at regular intervals. The visual inspection includes checking the components of the speakers, the flying frame, the load-bearing parts (cross beams, ceiling constructions, etc.) and their bolted connections. Bei den Prüfungen an den Komponenten des Flugsystems ist besonders auf Verformungen, Risse, Beschädigungen an Bolzen und Korrosion an allen Produkten zu achten sowie die Funktionsfähigkeit der Kugelsperrbolzen und die Funktionsfähigkeit der Federbolzen zu überprüfen. Mounting devices such as shackles, chains and wire ropes also have to be checked for signs of wear or deformation carefully. If there are signs of wear, cracks, or deformation, etc. then you must replace the parts immediately. For further instructions, refer to chapter 'Maintenance and Care' on page 68.

Warning

5.1 Safety Instructions for Flown Setup

Falling speakers pose the threat of fatal injuries to people near them! If you have even the slightest reason to doubt the safety of the flying system, then you may not use it under any circumstance.

Only trained event technicians may suspend the SEQUENZA 5 system.

Never suspend the speakers without the appropriate flying frame. The maximum working load limit (WLL) of the flying frame depends on the selected setup. This specification includes cabling and additional fittings. The provided simulation software

'CON:SEQUENZA+' must be used to determine if the frame is loaded permissibly. The simulation software CON:SEQUENZA+ does not take the weight of cabling and additional fittings into consideration! When following the specifications of the CON:SEQUENZA+ simulation 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.

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 5 incl. accessories

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. 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, suspension points, or chain points) must comply with the accident prevention regulation BGV C1 (Event and Production Sites for Stage Presentations) or comparable applicable national standards, and the total load must be approved by an authorised expert. If in doubt, have it checked by local authorities.

Also, follow the operating and safety instructions for the product from which you will suspend the flying frame (i.e. truss). If there is no information regarding the safe use and the working load limit, you may not fly the flying frame from it.

Every chain and every motor must be capable of carrying the total load of the array on its own, even with two-strand rigging. Check to make sure that the chains of the hoist motors are hanging straight down and are not twisted and that the hoist motors are in the intended 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.

If a BGV (government safety organisation) C1 or a D8+ motor is used, the SEQUENZA 5 system is intrinsically safe and does not require any secondary securing. If the SEQUENZA 5 system is, however, to be hung on another motor, then secondary securing is necessary. This can be attached to the 3.5t shackles and must be implemented with zero drop height. Instructions for the correct use of secondary securing with zero drop height are in the standard VPLT (Assoc. of Media and Event Technology) SR 2.0 "Preparation & use of electric chain hoists".

Never use signal cables or power cords for suspending, aligning or securing the systems. When laying out the connecting cables, make sure that nobody can trip.

Make sure you have enough free working space on site to assemble and suspend the array. The array can swing out while being lifted! Only personnel directly involved with assembly or disassembly may be in the working area.

Every time before the responsible technician raises or lowers the flying frame, he must unmistakably signal this to all people. All persons must then move outside of the pivoting and lifting range.

The flying frame may not be used to lift and secure people or objects other than the abovementioned speaker systems.

The array may not be used 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 17.)

Warning

5.2 Safety Instructions for Stacked Setups

Falling speakers pose the threat of 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.

User's manual K&F SEQUENZA 5 incl. accessories

For the stability inspection, you must always factor in an imperfection (tilt) of +/-15° 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.

Maximum number of stacked speakers

The number of speakers (max. 7) depends on the tilting angle and must be verified by the simulation software CON:SEQUENZA+. This shows if the structural stability is attained with the optional outriggers or if the system has to be separately secured (i.e. with straps, weights, etc.) The simulation software CON:SEQUENZA+ shows if safe operation with the outriggers is guaranteed. The setup configuration with the outriggers must be secured. But even with additional securing, no more than seven speakers may be stacked.

5.3 Wind Loading

User's manual K&F SEQUENZA 5 incl. accessories

felt in walking against wind

8 17.2-20.7 Gale Twigs and small

branches broken off trees

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.

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

Caution

User's manual K&F SEQUENZA 5 incl. accessories

5.4 Preventing hearing damage

Avoid beeing too close to operating speakers. This equipment is capable of delivering sound pressure levels in excess of 90 dB SPL, which may cause permanent hearing damage.

5.5 Protecting the Speakers / Operating Safety

SEQUENZA 5 speakers may only be used in combination with a K&F 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

• using the speakers without K&F 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 5 incl. accessories

6. Opening the Transport Case

In the SEQUENZA 5 transport case three SEQUENZA 5 W speakers are safely packed. When dismantling the speakers, you can leave them connected in any given tilt angle. You need not remove or loosen the rear connectors. This makes them easier to dismount and faster to disassemble.

To remove the transport lid, turn the appropriate catches 180° to completely release the latch.

Once you have released catches, you can lift off the lid.

To remove the front lid, you must open two catches.

To remove the main lid, you must also open the four bottom catches.

You close the case by following these steps in reverse order.

7. Using the Spring Bolt

The spring bolt is the central bolt of the 'Snap&Fly+' rigging system. It can be set to four positions that you have either set manually or that have come about

because of the handling of the speakers.

Initial position:

The spring bolt is under tension. You can mount a standard connector.

User's manual K&F SEQUENZA 5 incl. accessories

Waiting position:

In this position, the spring bolt is connected to a standard connector (not shown) and is 'waiting' for the speaker to move, snapping into its locking position.

Locking position:

In this safe position, the spring bolt is holding a connector.

On the opposite side, the spring bolt protrudes.

Release position:

The spring bolt can only be manually moved to this position.

To release a connector from the spring bolt, the user must pull the spring bolt as far as it will go and hold onto it.

8. Safe Connecting and Disconnecting of the Products

To safely connect or disconnect the products, you always need the same hand grips. In general, the joints must always be connected and the appropriate speaker connector must be used and attached to the other speaker, flying frame, or adapter. To prevent inadvertent loosening, you must always ensure that the safety latch snaps over each joint. When you have mounted everything correctly, a red dot is visible on the safety latch.

For disassembly, release the connector first and then fasten it in its parking position. After doing so, you must then push the safety latch into the enclosure using one hand, then release the product to be dismantled to the side and then completely release it.

The safety latch is always on the speaker.

Tip

In general, all SEQUENZA 5 speakers can be safely connected to one another and with the SEQUENZA 5 adapters this way.

User's manual K&F SEQUENZA 5 incl. accessories

1. Place the speaker, flying frame or adapter onto a standing speaker so that the joint bars are next to one another.

2. Ensure that the safety latch of the standing speaker is pushed into the enclosure by the joint bars of the adjoining device.

Warning

3. Push the speaker to the side to allow the joint bars to connect properly and ensure that the safety latch of the joint snaps into place.

4. The safety latch makes a clearly audible clicking noise when snapping into place.

Make sure that the joint bolts in both joints are properly connected in the joint bar.

Make sure the red dot is visible on the safety latch, indicating a properly locked joint.

Warning

User's manual K&F SEQUENZA 5 incl. accessories

In general, all SEQUENZA 5 speakers and SEQUENZA 5 adapters can be safely disconnected this way.

To avoid injury, it is forbidden to separate speakers from one another while they are still suspended or strapped.

Take the load off the speakers' connecting points by laying the array onto the castor base of the transport case or by vertically lowering three speakers at a time into transport cases, thus lessening the load.

1. Loosen the connector on the spring bolt.

Do this by pulling the spring bolt out and holding it in this retracted position (release position, compare to 'Handling the spring bolt', page 20).

Pull the connector out and fold it between the connecting plates.

When all connections have been released, fasten the connecter with the speaker's own spring bolt.

Tip

You should completely disassemble the flying frame connector and fasten it in its parking position on the rigging frame.

You should now mount the SEQUENZA 5 W connectors that you parked on the rigging frame during setup back onto the speaker.

2. Using both hands, grasp to the right and left of the connecting joints and push the safety latch into the speaker using one finger.

User's manual K&F SEQUENZA 5 incl. accessories

3. To separate the joints, push the speaker to the side.

4. Slide the speakers apart.

9.1.1 Setup variations, flown

Ensure that nobody can step below the suspended systems. To remove a SEQUENZA 5 B lid, the array must be standing on the ground.

Caution

User's manual K&F SEQUENZA 5 incl. accessories

The simulation software CON:SEQUENZA+ must always verify the number of speakers. It is generally prohibited to exceed the maximum number of 15 speakers. To prevent damage to persons and property, you must set up or suspend the array in

compliance with the specifications of the German safety regulation BGV C1 or comparable applicable national standards.

Always assemble the complete rigging frame first before connecting the rigging frame to the speakers.

During setup, always make sure to use the correct connectors. When connecting the SEQUENZA 5 flying frame with a SEQUENZA 5 W speaker, you must always use the flying frame connector.

Using a wrong connector or incorrectly installing a connector can result in certain tilt angles being impossible or the array tipping because of a shifted centre of gravity. This would lead to unfavourable acoustic results. For this reason, always follow the depictions and descriptions mentioned in this manual.

The following illustrations show you the possible setup variations with the corresponding chapters in which the working steps for the setup are explained.

9.1.2 Mounting Variations, Stacked

No matter which setup you use, you must always secure the array to prevent tipping and falling. To ensure safety, you can either use the lying flying frame with the optional accessory 'outrigger' or secure the array – with or without the flying frame – with suitable anchoring such as lashing straps.

We recommend using the optional accessory 'outrigger' that you can purchase from your K&F dealer. They are easy to mount and reliably secure the standing array to prevent falling.

The simulation software CON:SEQUENZA+ must always verify the number of stacked speakers (max. 7). It is generally prohibited to exceed the maximum number of 7 stacked speakers.

Before setup, make sure there is a stable and even surface.

The following illustrations show you the possible setup variations with the corresponding chapters in which the working steps for the setup are explained.
