SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. All the precautions, in particular the safety ones, must be read with special attention, as
they provide important information�
2. Power supply from mains
a� The mains voltage is sufficiently high to involve a risk of electrocution; install and
connect this product before plugging it in�
b� Before powering up, make sure that all the connections have been made correctly and
the voltage of your mains corresponds to the voltage shown on the rating plate on the
unit, if not, please contact your RCF dealer�
c� The metallic parts of the unit are earthed through the power cable� An apparatus with
CLASS I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective
earthing connection�
d� Protect the power cable from damage; make sure it is positioned in a way that it cannot
be stepped on or crushed by objects�
e� To prevent the risk of electric shock, never open this product: there are no parts inside
that the user needs to access�
f� Be careful: in the case of a product supplied by manufacturer only with POWERCON
connectors and without a power cord, jointly to POWERCON connectors type NAC3FCA
(power-in) and NAC3FCB (power-out), the following power cords compliant to national
standard shall be used:
- EU: cord type H05VV-F 3G 3x2�5 mm2 - Standard IEC 60227-1
- JP: cord type VCTF 3x2 mm2; 15Amp/120V~ - Standard JIS C3306
- US: cord type SJT/SJTO 3x14 AWG; 15Amp/125V~ - Standard ANSI/UL 62
3. Make sure that no objects or liquids can get into this product, as this may cause a short
circuit� This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing� No objects filled with
liquid, such as vases, shall be placed on this apparatus� No naked sources (such as lighted
candles) should be placed on this apparatus�
4. 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:
- The product does not function (or functions in an anomalous way).
- The power cable has been damaged.
- Objects or liquids have got in the unit.
- The product has been subject to a heavy impact.
5.
If this product is not used for a long period, disconnect the power cable�
6.
If this product begins emitting any strange odours or smoke, switch it off immediately
and disconnect the power cable�
7. Do not connect this product to any equipment or accessories not foreseen�
For suspended installation, only use the dedicated anchoring points and do not try to hang
this product by using elements that are unsuitable or not specific for this purpose� Also
check the suitability of the support surface to which the product is anchored (wall, ceiling,
structure, etc�), and the components used for attachment (screw anchors, screws, brackets
not supplied by RCF etc�), which must guarantee the security of the system / installation
over time, also considering, for example, the mechanical vibrations normally generated by
transducers�
To prevent the risk of falling equipment, do not stack multiple units of this product unless
this possibility is specified in the user manual�
8. RCF S.p.A. strongly recommends this product is only installed by professional
qualified installers (or specialised firms) who can ensure 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.
9.
Supports, trolleys and carts�
The equipment should be only used on supports, trolleys and carts, where
necessary, that are recommended by the manufacturer� The equipment /
support / trolley / cart assembly must be moved with extreme caution� Sudden
stops, excessive pushing force and uneven floors may cause the assembly to
overturn� Never tilt the assembly�
10. There are numerous mechanical and electrical factors 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 therefore necessary
to wear ear plugs or protective earphones� See the manual technical specifications to know
the maximum sound pressure level�
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
- Place this product far from any heat sources and always ensure an adequate air
circulation around it�
-
Do not overload this product for a long time�
-
Never force the control elements (keys, knobs, etc�)�
-
Do not use solvents, alcohol, benzene or other volatile substances for cleaning the
external parts of this product�
