Safety Information
Safety Information
The following section details important safety information related to the ownership and operation of eVenue Tempo. You must
operate the eVenue system safely. Unsafe operation can create hazards for you, as well as anyone else in the work area. Always take
the following precautions when operating eVenue Tempo.
WARNING: Ignoring these warnings may cause severe injury or death as a result of incorrect operation
CAUTION: Ignoring these cautions may cause moderate injury or property damage as a result of incorrect operation
Protecting Yourself and Those Around You
1. Allow only responsible individuals who have been trained by a certied CoachComm technician to use your eVenue Tempo
system. Never allow people unfamiliar with these rules and instructions to set up or operate your system.
2. Do not stand, sit, climb, or ride on any part of eVenue Tempo.
3. Do not use the ePod’s actuating arm to lift personnel or objects.
Electrical Safety
1. Do not submerge any part of the eVenue Tempo System in water.
2. Protect the power cords from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
they exit from the apparatus.
3. Do not block any of the ventilation openings.
4. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including ampliers) that
produce heat.
5. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The third prong is provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not t into your inlet, consult an electrician
for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Never break off the grounding prong.
6. Unplug the eVenue system during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
7. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Do not attempt to disassemble or open any panels. Doing so may expose
electrical parts and may also void the product warranty.
8. Use only one 120 volt 15 amp dedicated circuit for each individual eVenue ePod. You should test and verify that these
circuits are working properly on a routine basis.
Towing Safety
1. Have a complete working knowledge of your tow vehicle and know how to handle it with the eVenue ePod(s) (and optional
Control Unit ) attached.
2. Make sure towing hitch connections are properly secured prior to towing.
3. Secure all cables and cable ends before towing to prevent damage to those parts during transit.
4. Drive at a maximum speed of 5 mph. Do not stand, sit, climb, or ride on any part of eVenue Tempo.
5. Decrease speed at all corners, and watch the swing of both the rear of the tow vehicle and the eVenue system.
6. Never operate near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments; you could lose control of your tow vehicle and/or the eVenue
system.

eVenue Tempo
Safety Information
7. Never tow on slopes greater than 10 degrees, or on any excessively steep slope.
8. Never operate on wet or slippery slopes. Reduced traction could result in tipping over your tow vehicle and/or the eVenue
system.
9. Never park the tow vehicle or eVenue system on a steep grade or slope.
10. Do not turn on a slope as you may tip over your vehicle and/or the eVenue system.
11. Note the following tow vehicle restrictions:
A. If your tow vehicle will not travel by itself over the terrain by which you plan to tow eVenue, then it is not a suitable
tow vehicle over that terrain. If this situation occurs, the terrain may not be suitable for eVenue to traverse either. Be
cautious and nd a different route to prevent equipment damage and a potential voiding of the eVenue warranty.
B. We recommend a few types of tow vehicles for eVenue. The tow vehicle may be either two- or four-wheel drive.
i. Golf cart or other electric towing vehicle
ii. Utility Vehicle
iii. Compact or Sub-Compact Tractor
Note: Do not attempt to tow the ePod when not in Travel Ready position.
Mechanical Safety
1. Never, under any conditions, remove, bend, cut, t, weld, or otherwise alter standard parts of eVenue. Modications to your
system could cause personal injuries and property damage and will void your warranty.
2. The system fan area should be kept clear to allow for proper ventilation. Do not place near a wall or cover the system
while in operation.
3. Only use attachments/accessories/cables/hardware provided by
the manufacturer.
4. Do not use blocks to increase height of system.
5. Never move an ePod or Control Unit unless the Travel Ready
indicator is green and the Upper Speaker Array is in its cradle.
6. Never deploy an ePod’s or Control Unit’s Upper Speaker Array
unless the unit is stable, centered, and level, and the Pitch and
Roll Level indicators are green. The Deploy Ready LED must be
green for deployment.
7. Raise and lower the Upper Speaker Array arm from a safe
distance and within view of the Motion Control System’s Status
Panel. During deployment, be aware of all pinch points and crush
hazards; keep hands and feet clear of these areas.
8. The system brake is designed for stabilizing the ePod and
Control Unit during deployment of the Upper Speaker Array. It is
not to be used to control speed when the unit is being moved.

Sound Coverage Overview
This section outlines the suggested practices to reach the audio levels desired when using your eVenue Tempo system. It is better
to determine your intended audio coverage at the beginning of the installation procedure. For more on system setup, look at the
Hardware Installation section on page 9 of this manual. Included is a legend to identify the images used throughout this section.
It is important to consider what areas you would like to cover
with sound. You may want to balance audio for your entire team
or pinpoint certain sections of the practice eld.
Each ePod is estimated to cover approximately 90 degrees of
horizontal space, 70 degrees of vertical space, and up to 100
feet of depth (for maximum impact before dissipation affects sound quality).
Positioning your ePod(s)
In the image below you can see how positioning the ePods straight toward the eld will impact a select section of your practicing
team.
In contrast, to balance audio output across the intended audience, you can angle the ePods so they cover a specic area, as shown
below.
