MAINTAINING WEATHER RESISTANCE
GUIDELINES FOR R-SERIES OUTDOOR USE
R-Series is suitable for outdoor direct exposure installation
when used as recommended. For best results in outdoor
applications, follow these guidelines:
• Always orient the loudspeaker so the mouth of the horn
is, at a minimum, pointing at least 5 degrees downward.
Failure to do this could result in water collecting inside
the enclosure under extreme weather conditions.
• When handling an R-Series loudspeaker, be careful not
to scratch or scrape the finish on the grille, bracket, or
enclosure.
• All mounting holes must be sealed off with the plugs
or stainless steel bolts, washers, and rubber washers
supplied. If, for any reason, the hardware must be
removed, seal off the hole with silicone caulking or
some other suitable weather-tight sealant.
• The rubber washers supplied with the mounting bolts
must always seat against the enclosure (R2-MAX only).
•
The grille assembly is designed to prevent normal and
wind-driven rain from directly entering the mouth of the
loudspeaker. The grille is not designed to withstand
such things as being directly sprayed from a hose;
therefore this should be avoided.
•
If you use any hardware in place of hardware provided
with your R-Series loudspeaker, it should also be made
of stainless steel.
