1.0 Safety & Warnings
1.1 Safety Precautions
• 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 qualified 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 flown array.
1.2 Software
Adamson Systems Engineering | IS-Series Rigging Manual
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 Certification education session to improve their
working knowledge of Adamson products. Upcoming
sessions can be found at www.adamsonsystems.com/en/

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.
