• Blueprint AV must be used for determining rigging angles and potential load restrictions before suspending any
Adamson line array product.
• Pay attention to all load warnings displayed in Blueprint AV. Systems with a load warning must not be suspended
until all warnings have been cleared.
• All suspended systems must have a secondary suspension system installed that is capable of carrying the total
load of the installed system.
• When setting up systems outdoors, take wind conditions into account in terms of total load.
• Installation of these systems should be performed by at least two qualied technicians.
• When suspending any Adamson product, the proper PPE (personal protective equipment) should be worn.
• All local laws and by-laws must be adhered to when suspending these products.
• When lifting apparatus is in operation, nobody shall walk directly underneath.
• Never climb the own array.
Adamson’s predictive software suite, Blueprint AV, must be
used when designing Adamson Line Arrays. It can also be
used as a resource when suspending Adamson Point Source
products.
Blueprint AV is available for both Windows and Mac OSX and
can be downloaded from www.adamsonsystems.com.
There is a tutorial for the software located in the Help section
of the software, as well as a series of tutorial videos located
at www.adamsonsystems.com/en/education/media-gallery/
blueprint-av-tutorial
Adamson recommends that users attend an Applied or
Advanced Certication education session to improve their
working knowledge of Adamson products. Upcoming
sessions can be found at www.adamsonsystems.com/en/
education/events
Blueprint AV contains all the relevant mechanical data
needed when suspending Adamson loudspeakers and
accessories. It will notify the user when a design exceeds
mechanical safety limits. All safety warnings from Blueprint
AV must be strictly adhered to.

3.1 Accessories
Upon receipt of the product, verify that all components listed below are present.
The IS7 & IS118 Rigging Frame can be used to suspend either the IS7 or IS118 cabinets. It can also be used as an
additional transition frame between the IS7 and the IS118, either while suspended or while stacking IS7 cabinets on
IS118.
The IS7 & IS118 Rigging Frame’s maximum load capacity (765kg / 1686.5 lbs) far exceeds the realistic maximum
amount of IS7 or IS118.
In instances where the tilt and curvature of the array causes the centre of gravity to be outside of the depth of the frame,
use of the Extended Beam (930-0021) or Moving Point Extended Beam (930-0033) is necessary.
