Active mode Cabling NEXO recommends the exclusive use of multi-conductor cables to connect the system: the cable kit is compatible with all the cabinets, and there is no possible confusion between LF, MF and HF sections. Cable choice consists mainly of selecting cables of the correct sectional dimension (size) in relation to the load resistance and the cable length.

For fixed installations, wind loading has to be taken into account in accordance to the national standards. The PS and LS Rigging System requires regular inspection and testing by a competent test centre. NEXO recommend that the system is load tested and certified annually or more frequently if local regulations require.
Be aware that safety procedures are as important in the truck and in the warehouse as they are at the venue. 6.1.3 Contacts Correct training is fundamental to safe practise when working with loudspeakers flying systems. NEXO recommend that users contact local industry associations for information on specialist course. Information for International training agencies can be obtained by contacting either:...

After cleaning, the rigging system must be treated with a suitable lubricant to prevent rusting. NEXO recommends the use of Scottoil FS365 which is a water-based lubricant with a mixture of machine oil, surfactant and anti-rust treatment.
SYSTEM CHECK ALIGNMENT GUIDELINES The NEXO TD Controllers factory delay presets are optimised to provide the best possible crossover between the PS and LS systems. The reference point for this adjustment is the front of each cabinet. (This means that the internal delays needed to achieve a correct time alignment are set for cabinets standing next to each other with both fronts aligned).
By doing so, drivers are working perfectly together and providing the best efficiency possible. It is then up to the user to adjust the delay on the NEXO TD Controllers to match the physical path difference of the different systems. It is thus possible to get a well-adjusted system, even without measuring instruments.
