User manual JBL VT4886-HB HORIZONTAL BRACKET

[. . . ] Precautions should be taken to assure that the speaker does not fall off a stage or surface on which it is placed. STAND MOUNTING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS The VT4886-HB includes a pole mount adapter to allow mounting on tripod stands or on an extension rod (pole) over subwoofers. When using stands or poles, be sure to observe the following precautions: · Check the stand or pole specification to be certain the device is designed to support the weight of the speaker. · Always verify that the stand (or subwoofer/pole) is placed on a flat, level and stable surface and be sure to fully extend the legs of tripod type stands. Route cables so that performers, production crew, and audience will not trip and topple the speakers. [. . . ] The following performance standards should be provided to the Professional Engineer for design purposes; Uniform Building Code as applicable, Municipal Building Code as applicable, and Seismic Code as applicable. The installation of the hardware and method of attachment must be carried out in the manner specified by the Professional Engineer. Improper installation may result in damage, injury or death. INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE Suspension systems are comprised of mechanical devices and, as such, they require regular inspection and routine maintenance to ensure proper function ability. Before suspending or pole mounting any speaker system always inspect all components (enclosure, suspension frames or brackets, pins, eyebolts, etc. ) for cracks, deformations, corrosion, missing, loose or damaged parts that could reduce strength and safety of the array. Do not suspend or pole mount the speaker until the proper corrective action has been taken. The inspection shall include a visual survey of all corners and load bearing surfaces for signs of cracking, water damage, de-lamination, or any other condition that may decrease the strength of the loudspeaker enclosure. Accessory suspension hardware provided with or for JBL VT4886 and VT4883 loudspeakers must be inspected for fatigue at least annually or as required by local ordinance. The inspection shall include a visual survey of the material for signs of corrosion, bending or any other condition that may decrease the strength of the fastener. Additionally, any eyebolts shall be checked for possible spin-out of the enclosure. For all other hardware and fittings, refer to the hardware manufacturer's inspection and maintenance guidelines for process. JBL is not responsible for the application of its products for any purpose or the misuse of this information for any purpose. Furthermore, JBL is not responsible for the abuse of its products caused by avoiding compliance with inspection and maintenance procedures or any other abuse. Prior to suspending the system, an expert, trained and experienced in suspending speaker systems should inspect all parts and components. RESOURCES Adaptive Technologies Group 562. 424. 1100 1635 E.

The systems are designed to facilitate the suspension of the loudspeaker by a qualified person familiar with rigging hardware and industry practices. If you are unfamiliar with Safe Rigging Practices you will need to consult with a qualified person familiar with rigging hardware and industry practices. WORKING LOAD LIMIT (WLL) VT4886-HB WLL = 210 lbs (95. 3 kg) MAXIMUM CONFIGURATIONS: Tripod- or Pole-Mounted: Suspended: 4x VT4886 (2 on each side of VT4886-HB) 1x VT4886-HB : 2, 4 or 6x VT4886 2x VT4886-HB : 1, 3, 4, 7 or 9x VT4886 (3x VT4886 max on one side of VT4886-HB) WARNING Suspension of JBL loudspeakers must employ a minimum of two (2) attachment points. For the case of single point hangs, safety steels are recommended at all times. When "bridling" a JBL loudspeaker system, two (2) legs of equal length must be used. The rear attachment points are pull-back points and are intended only for use in adjusting the down-angle of the speaker enclosure. Only the top and bottom attachment points are intended for use as suspension points. Hearing Damage, Prolonged Exposure To Excessive SPL VerTec series loudspeakers are easily capable of generating sound pressure levels (SPL) sufficient to cause permanent hearing damage to performers, production crew and audience members. Caution should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to SPL in excess of 90 dB. Page 6 VT4886-HB Horizontal Bracket User Guide DESCRIPTION: The VT4886-HB Horizontal Bracket allows for horizontal arraying of VT4886 enclosures. A single VT4886-HB Horizontal Bracket can be used for suspending 2x, 4x or 6x VT4886 enclosures. For 1x, 3x, 5x, 7x or 9x horizontal VT4886 arrays, 2x VT4886-HB can be employed.
