4TLX84 and TLX215L Rigging Manual
Chapter 1: Safety Information
1.1 Intended Use
The rigging components (TLX84-FLB ybar, rigging pins, drop links) shall only be used in conjunction with TURBOSOUND TLX84 loudspeakers and TLX215L subwoofers
as described in this manual.
1.2 Intended Use of this Manual
The instructions in this manual describe how to assemble various congurations of TLX84 loudspeaker cabinets, TLX215L subwoofers, and the TLX84-FLB ybar, in
readiness for suspending or ground stacking.
These instructions shall only be used with the TLX84, TLX215L, and TLX84-FLB components.
The instructions do not show details of external lifting equipment and do not contain details of safe lifting procedures or installation.
Possession of these instructions and procedures does not imply authorisation for their use.
1.3 General Safety
The operation of your product as part of a suspended system, if installed incorrectly and improperly, can potentially expose persons to serious health risks and
even death. In addition, please ensure that electrical, mechanical and acoustic considerations are discussed with qualied and certied (by local, state or national
authorities) personnel prior to any installation.
Installation and setup should only be carried out by qualied and authorised personnel observing the valid local, state and other safety regulations applicable in your
country. If any parts or components are missing please contact your dealer before attempting to set up the system.
It is the responsibility of the person installing the assembly to ensure that the suspension/xing points are suitable for the intended use.
We also recommend you schedule TURBOSOUND line array training with our sales partners and applications team.
Equipment used to connect to the TURBOSOUND rigging system must be properly rated and must conform to the local, state and other safety regulations. Do not use
TURBOSOUND rigging with other types or brands of loudspeakers. This practice may compromise safety standards and MUSIC Group will not be responsible for damage
or injury so caused. Do not modify the rigging accessories, or use them in a way other than that described in this rigging manual. Rigging components supplied as part
of a complete assembly are non-interchangeable and must not be exchanged with the component parts of any other assembly.
Welding, or any other means of permanently xing rigging components to each other or to cabinet xing points is not allowed. Rigging components or assemblies
must only be xed to TURBOSOUND loudspeaker cabinets using the cabinet xing points.
MUSIC Group assumes no liability for any damage or personal injury resulting from improper use, installation or operation of the product. Regular checks must be
conducted by qualied personnel to ensure that the system remains in a secure and stable condition. Make sure that, where the product is suspended, the area
underneath the product is free of human trac. Do not suspend the product in areas which can be entered or used by members of the public.
1.4 Loudspeaker Cabling
Attach and support the speaker cables from your ampliers to the loudspeaker cabinets, so that no signicant additional weight or lateral force is applied to the array
by the input wiring.
Input cables or link cables should never be used to angle the array or used as rigging in any way.
1.5 Load Capacity and System Safety
The TLX84-FLB ybar is designed to suspend a maximum of 8 TLX84 loudspeaker cabinets, or 3 TLX215L subwoofers, or a mixed array of 1 TLX215L subwoofer with
6 TLX84 loudspeaker cabinets.. The speakers may be own with any vertical splay angle conguration and from any of the pick points. This corresponds to a Working
Load Limit (WLL) of 260 kg with a design factor of 10:1. TLX installation procedures and recommendations described in Chapters 3-5 are based on 10:1 design factor.
TLX enclosure counts and combinations are also given for 5:1 and 7:1 design factors in Chapter 9. Check local regulations in order to comply with regional design factor
requirements. Always refer to EASE FOCUS II modeling software error and warning indications prior to installation.
1.6 Safety Inspections
Carefully inspect rigging system components and cabinets for defects or signs of damage before proceeding to assemble the array to be own. If any parts are
damaged or suspect, or if there is any doubt as to the proper functioning and safety of the items DO NOT USE THEM and withdraw them from use immediately.
Refer to Chapter 8 for information about care maintenance and disposal.

TLX84 and TLX215L Rigging Manual 5
1.7 Secondary Safeties
All loudspeakers own in theatres, studios or other places of work and entertainment shall, in addition to the principle load bearing means of suspension, be provided
with an independent, properly rated, and securely attached secondary safety. Only steel wire ropes or steel chains of an approved construction and load rating shall be
used as secondary safeties. Plastic-covered steel wire ropes are not permitted for use as secondary safeties.
The secondary safety suspension must be independent of the primary suspension points and capable of carrying the total system weight. The additional safety device
must be mounted in a way that the array is caught by the safety device without any drop and swing in the event that the primary suspension fails.
1.8 Wind Loads
The loudspeakers must not be suspended or ground stacked in winds greater than:
Beaufort Scale 6 bft (39-49 km/h, 25-31 mph, 22-27 knots)
If the forecast or actual winds reach:
Beaufort Scale 8 bft (62-74 km/h, 39-46 mph, 34-40 knots)
1) Clear the area of personnel
2) Lower and secure the array
1.9 Operational Safety
The procedures require the use of two or more authorised persons.
Produce a lift plan: before any lift takes place, you must formulate a lift plan that describes the exact steps and procedures that will be carried out.
The plan must be shared with all assistants and stake-holders in the lift so that each person will understand their responsibilities.
Observe all instructions given on the respective instruction labels of the rigging components and loudspeakers.
When using chain hoists make sure nobody is directly underneath or in the vicinity of the array.
During assembly pay attention to the possible risk of crushing.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
