IMPORTANT NOTES
Before connecting and using this paging microphone, please read this instruction manual
carefully and keep it on hand for future reference. The manual is to be considered an
integral part of this product and must accompany it when changing 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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
According to EN 54-16 standard (‘access level 2’), paging microphones shall be only
accessible by persons having a specific responsibility for safety and who are trained and
authorized to operate in the following conditions: quiescent, voice alarm, fault warning
and disablement.
1.
All the precautions, in particular the safety ones, must be read with special attention,
as they provide important information.
2.
Make sure all connections have been made correctly before switching all devices on.
Do not connect / disconnect the paging microphone when the system is operating.
3.
Protect paging microphone cables from damage and assure they are positioned where
these cannot be stepped on or crushed by objects.
4.
Do not put the paging microphone into water (or another liquid), do not throw it.
5.
Never attempt to carry out any operations, modifications or repairs.
If the paging microphone does not work properly, contact your authorized service centre.
6.
Should the paging microphone emit any strange odour or even smoke, turn the sound
system off immediately and disconnect it.
7. RCF S.p.A
. strongly recommends the sound system installation is only made by
professional qualified installers (or specialised firms), who can certify it according to the
regulations in force.
The entire audio system must comply with the current standards and regulations regarding
electrical systems.
8.
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.).
9.
Do not point the microphone at near loudspeakers, in order to avoid feedback.
10.
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.
11.
To prevent inductive effects from causing hum, noise and a bad system operating,
paging microphone cables should not be laid together with other electric cables (mains)
and loudspeaker lines.
12.
Keep the paging microphone far from any excessive heat source.
13.
Do not use solvents, alcohol, benzene or other volatile substances for cleaning the
external parts. Just use a dry cloth.
