3. Safety�Instructions
3.1 Mounting�the�Speakers�/�Wall�and�Ceiling�Installation
Warning
The speakers may only be mounted by qualified event technicians or personnel which are instructed
by them, adequately. This also applies for wall and ceiling fixations.
The technicians responsible for assembling the speakers on site are responsible for the safe setup and
use of the speakers and guarantee this.
Never use signal cables or power cords for suspending, aligning or securing the systems.
Before carrying through ceiling and wall installations, it is essential to consider the load capacity of
walls, ceilings and panelling as well as the stability and type of the construction. If there is wall pan-
elling, for example, it is then necessary to examine the solidity of the wall and use the appropriate wall
plugs.
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.
Make sure to comply with the stipulated tightening torques.
If not otherwise stated in this manual, only original KLING & FREITAG parts may be used for mount-
ing the speakers. The use of other parts - in particular parts by other manufacturers - is not permitted
in this case.
Ensure that all installation connections comply with the applicable safety guidelines and that the size
and strength are sufficient.
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.
As a basic principle, you must visually inspect all safety-relevant components of the speaker and the
accessory before every use. If there are signs of wear, cracks, or deformation, then you must replace
the parts immediately. The visual inspection also includes checking the screwed connections on sup-
porting elements.
The information described here does not relieve the user of the duty to follow the given safety re-
quirements and legal regulations.
3.2 Notes�for�Mounting�the�Speakers
Warning
Mount the speakers securely. To avoid injury or damage, always be sure to mount the speakers secure-
ly 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.
When laying out the connecting cables, make sure that nobody can trip.

3.3 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 addi-
tional impact on the stacked speakers. Before setup, carefully ascertain if there are any possible out-
side 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, ob-
tain expert proof of stability.
Stacked systems may not fall over even if they are inclined by 10° in each direction. If this require-
ment is not fulfilled, then it is necessary to take steps to achieve compliance. Possible measures in-
clude 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.
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 stabili-
ty 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 LS you must always strap the speakers to one another and
secure them from falling over.
3.4 Preventing�hearing�damage
Caution
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.
User's manual K&F NOMOS LS
KLING & FREITAG GMBH © 2011 Revision 4.0 Page 10 of 21
3.5 Protecting�the�Speakers�/�Operating�Safety
NOMOS LS 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 over-
loaded 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 con-nected, disconnect-
ed 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. There-
fore, during transport and placement of the speakers, it is important to ensure that there is always ap-
prox. 1 m between the speakers and magnetic data media and computer/video monitors.
