Coda Audio Rigging System's Maintenance
The following general maintenance procedures apply to Coda Audio CiRAY and
SC2-F/ SCV-F, rigging parts and accessories.
As there are some differences to certification and other local regulation requirements from
one territory to another. The following maintenance procedures are supplied as a guide to
general good maintenance of your rigging system. This guide should be studied in
conjunction with any local rules and regulations for your territory. This guide does not
replace any local rules and regulations and should not be taken as an overriding guide to
any local rules and regulations that you may need to adhere to in your own territory.
General
All rigging parts, including cabinet fixtures and fitting, fly-bars, extension bars, shackles and
dollies should be fully inspected every 12 months. The owner of the equipment should set
up their own schedule for undertaking this work. It is recommended that the first general
inspection should be undertaken 12 months from date of first system use.
In addition to an annual inspection of all parts; Coda Audio recommends that a general
visual inspection of all parts should take place before each system is installed or used. A
further visual inspection should be undertaken at the end of each use. These inspections
should be performed by a suitably experienced and qualified system technician, and a log
should be kept of all inspections completed.
It is important to remember that the cabinet fixtures and fastenings form an integral part of
the overall suspension (flying) system. Therefore, great care must be taken when using,
transporting or storing your cabinets and accessories so as to avoid any physical damage,
either via hard contact with floors, walls or other equipment coming into contact with your
speaker cabinets and their accessories. Coda Audio provides a variation of transport dollies,
flight cases and soft covers to help protect your system, and these should be used at all
times. Coda Audio does not accept any liability or responsibilities for damage, how so ever
caused, to your systems or accessories at any time. Coda Audio recommends the use of the
accessories made available, at all times without exception. It is the responsibility of the
equipment "owner" to keep all equipment in good working order and for it to be used only
as intended, within its listed specification area of use. Should you have any questions
relating to the correct usage of the equipment, please contact your Coda Audio
representative or Coda Audio direct for further assistance and support. Contact information
is listed at the back of this document.
This document will only discuss and cover Coda Audio supplied products and accessories.
This document does not take into account any equipment which is used in conjunction with
Coda Audio products and accessories, such as chain motors, electric hoists, steel wire,
shackles or other rigging equipment.

  • Page 6 Flying Pins A specially designed Coda Audio retaining pin is always attached to its metalwork on the cabinet and operates on a “Spring & Ball” system that does not come away from the cabinet. This design has achieved a near zero loss of pins since its introduction. The pin works simply by depressing the plunger and moving the complete mechanism forwards to lock and backwards to unlock.
  • Page 7 Image 10: SC2-F/ SCV-F side view Part number: Coda-Pin F ViRAY These pins form a vital part of the flying system and its safe operation; they should be visually checked at regular intervals for any damage or poor functionality. Check the pin plunger is depressing correctly – check that when depressed the two ball locks at the end of the pin, move into the body of the pin, and back out again when the pin plunger is released.

CiRAY and SC2-F/ SCV-F have transport “soft covers”. We recommend the use of these covers at all times during transport and storage, they will help protect from knocks and bangs and provide a good level of protection from dust, dirt and poor weather conditions.
