Flown congurations
The Kiva II rigging system complies with 2006/42/EC: Machinery Directive. It has been designed following the
guidelines of BGV-C1.
2006/42/EC: Machinery Directive species a safety factor of 4 against the rupture. The own deployments described in
this manual achieve a safety factor of 4 or higher.
Refer to Soundvision for the safety factor of a specic deployment.
The safe limit gives the maximum number of elements for which the safety factor is always compliant with the
2006/42/EC: Machinery Directive, regardless of the other deployment parameters (site angles, inter-enclosure angles,
etc.)
The maximum limit gives the maximum number of elements for which the safety factor can be compliant with the
2006/42/EC: Machinery Directive, when the other deployment parameters provide the best mechanical conditions.
For mixed arrays refer to your Soundvision model.
