WARNING:Asthelegalrequirementsformounting,suspending,hanging,yingorriggingequipmentchange
fromcountrytocountry,pleaseconsultyourlocalsafetystandardsofcebeforeinstallinganyproduct.Wealso
recommendthatyouthoroughlycheckanylawsandbylawspriortoinstallation.
TheinstallationofTannoyloudspeakersusingthededicatedhardwareshouldcarriedoutonlybyfullyqualied
installersinaccordancewithalltherequiredsafetycodesandstandardsthatareappliedattheplaceof
installation.
TheTannoyprofessionalhardwarecoveredinthisguidehasbeendesignedtoofferquick,simple,costeffective
andsecuresolutionsformountingspecicTannoyprofessionalloudspeakers.Thishardwarehasbeendesigned
andmanufacturedwithahighsafetyloadfactorforitsspecicrole.
Toensurethesafestpossibleuseofthehardwarecoveredinthisguide,itmustbeassembledinstrict
accordancewiththeinstructionsspecied.TheinformationintheseOperationManualsrelatingtothe
assemblyandthesafeuseoftheseaccessoriesmustbeunderstoodandfollowed.
TannoyprofessionalhardwarehasbeendesignedforusewithspecicTannoyprofessionalloudspeakers,and
isnotdesignedorintendedforusewithanyotherTannoyprofessionalproducts,oranyotherdevices.Using
Tannoyprofessionalhardwareforanypurposeotherthanthatindicatedinthisguideisconsideredtobe
improperuse.Suchusecanbeverydangerous:overloading,modifying,damaging,orassemblinginamanner
otherthanthatclearlystatedintheoperationwillcompromisesafety.ThecomponentpartsofanyTannoy
professionalhardwaredevicemustonlybeassembledusingtheaccessorykitssuppliedandinstrict
compliancewiththeOperationManual.Theuseofotheraccessoriesornon-approvedmethodsofassembly
mayresultinanunsafehardwaresystembyreducingtheloadsafetyfactor.
Welding,oranyothermethodofpermanentlyxinghardwarecomponentstogetherortotheintegralxing
pointsinthecabinet,shouldneverbeused.
