4. TRIGGER CONTROL

DEVICE STANDBY AND POWER UP CAN BE CONTROLLED REMOTELY VIA THE TRIGGER INPUT. TO 
IMPLEMENT TRIGGERING, IT IS NECESSARY TO :

  

 

-  Connect your control system or processor to either of the 12Vdc 3.5mm jacks (22).  

 

    The other jack can then be used to pass the 12Vdc control signal on to another device.

 

-  Set the “TRIGGER” operation selector  (23) to the  "ON" position. 

 

-  Turn the  main  power  switch  (11)  "ON".  

 

-  Set the "MUTE"  switch (4) to the position "1 ".

NOTE : when trigger control is enabled, it is not possible to turn on  the device in the conventional manner.

 

5. MAINS CABLE  AND CONNECTION

Designed with  a "dual insulation"  architecture, the RS700 amplifier is equipped with Class 1 protection,  
this means that it 

must be earthed

. It is designed to operate with a mains voltage of between 100V and 

240 V (50 Hz -60 Hz).  It will automatically detect the voltage and adapt accordingly.

The  mains cable supplied with the device is of heavy gauge (type H05VV-F 1.5MM2 -3G section 3*1.5²) 
with an earth connection.  Under no circumstances should  it be replaced by a cable of lesser gauge 
(including the export version) or by a cable that does not have a connection to the earth. 

 

6. INSTALLATION

The RS700 can be installed in a 19-inch RACK.  The device comes with 2 adapters and 4 screws; the 
adapter flanges are mounted by simple screwing on  the  rear part of the front panel, ensuring that they 
are adequately tight. Alternatively the RS700 can be set on a flat surface;  4 adhesive hemi-spherical pads 
are included for this use. 

Ventilation: Ensure that fan outlets  are never obstructed and can dissipate heat sufficiently. The device 
and its cooling have been designed for a maximum ambient temperature of 40°C running at full power.

 

7. MAINTENANCE

For exterior cleaning 

(after disconnecting from the mains outlet)

, use only a soft, lint-free, dry microfiber 

cloth which may be slightly moistened with a mild glass cleaning  product. Never use products such as  
solvents or detergents. Periodically (depending on the level of dust accumalation) the ventilation grilles 
(10) must be removed and cleaned. This cleaning is done outdoors with compressed air (preferably 
dehumidified and oil-free e.g. a compressed air aerosol can). It is also possible to use a vacuum cleaner to 
clean the filters.

In time, depending on the dust levels where the device is installed, the interior and fans in the device can 
become clogged. When necessary internal cleaning is also to be carried out outdoors with compressed 
air (dehumidified and oil-free). If in doubt, take the device to your dealer or  an authorized service agent.

 

8. GENERAL INFORMATION

A. 

DSP Implementation  :

The on board DSP allows an optimal amp/speaker pairing for the speakers predefined within the DSP 
which is implemented in the RS700  amplifier "Waterfall Audio Special Edition". It is still essential to strictly 
adhere to the installation instructions and bear in mind the following:
