SAFETY AND OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Before connecting and using this product, please read this instruction manual carefully
and keep it on hand for future reference. This manual is to be considered an integral part
of this product and must accompany it when it changes ownership as a reference for
correct installation and use as well as for the safety precautions.
RCF S.p.A. will not assume any responsibility for the incorrect installation and / or use of
this product.
1.
All the precautions, in particular the safety ones, must be read with special attention, as they
provide important information.
2.
Loudspeaker lines (amplifier outputs) can have a sufficiently high voltage (i.e. 100-70 V) to
involve a risk of electrocution: never install or connect this loudspeaker when the line is alive.
3.
Make sure all connections have been made correctly.
4.
Protect loudspeaker lines from damage. Make sure they are positioned in a way that they
cannot be stepped on or crushed by objects.
5.
Make sure that no objects or liquids can get into this product, as this may cause a short
circuit.
6.
Never attempt to carry out any operations, modifications or repairs that are not expressly
described in this manual. Contact your authorized service centre or qualified personnel should
any of the following occur: 1) the product does not function (or works in an anomalous way), 2)
the cable has been damaged, 3) objects or liquids have got into the product, 4) the product has
been damaged due to heavy impacts or fire.
7.
Should the loudspeaker emit any strange odours or smoke, remove it from the line after
having immediately switched the amplifier off.
8.
Do not connect this product to any equipment or accessories not foreseen. Also check the
suitability of the support surface to which the product is anchored (wall, ceiling, structure, etc.)
and the components used for attachment (i.e. wall plugs, screws, brackets not supplied by RCF,
etc.), which must guarantee the security of the system / installation over time.
9.
RCF S.P.A. strongly recommends this product is only installed by professional qualified
installers (or specialised firms) who can ensure a correct installation and certify it according to
the regulations in force. The entire audio system must comply with the current standards and
regulations regarding electrical systems.
10.
Mechanical and electrical factors need to be considered when installing a professional
audio system (in addition to those which are strictly acoustic, such as sound pressure, angles of
coverage, frequency response, etc.).
11.
Hearing loss. Exposure to high sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. The
acoustic pressure level that leads to hearing loss is different from person to person and depends
on the duration of exposure. To prevent potentially dangerous exposure to high levels of
acoustic pressure, anyone who is exposed to these levels should use adequate protection
devices. When a transducer capable of producing high sound levels is being used, it is necessary
to wear ear plugs or protective earphones. See the technical specifications in the instruction
manual for the maximum sound pressure the loudspeaker is capable of producing.
12.
Make sure loudspeaker lines are not shorted before turning the amplifier on.
14.
The loudspeaker cable shall have wires with a suitable section (twisted, if possible, to
reduce inductive effects due to surrounding electro-magnetic fields) and a sufficient electrical
insulation. Refer to local regulations, as there may be additional requirements about cable
characteristics.
15. Install far from any heat source.
16. Do not use solvents, alcohol, benzene or other volatile substances for cleaning the external
parts of this product.
