IMPORTANT NOTES
Before connecting and using this product, please read this instruction manual carefully and keep it on hand for future
reference. This user 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.
WARNING
: to prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, never expose this transformer to rain or humidity.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. All the precautions, in particular the safety ones, must be read with special attention, as they provide important nformation.
2. The speaker line (from the amplifier output) can have a sufficiently high voltage (100 V) to involve a risk of electrocution:
never install or connect this transformer when the line is alive.
3. Make sure all connections have been made correctly, verifying that the line voltage matches the transformer specifications.
4. Protect speaker lines from damage and 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 transformer, as this may cause a short circuit.
6. Never attempt to carry out any operations, modifications or repairs. Contact your authorized service centre or qualified
personnel should any of the following occur:
- The transformer does not function (or works in an anomalous way)
- The transformer output wires are damaged
- Objects or liquids have got into the transformer
- The transformer has been damaged due to heavy impacts or fire.
7. Should the transformer emit any strange odours or smoke, remove it from the 100 V line after having immediately switched
the amplifier off.
8. Do not connect this product to any equipment or accessories not foreseen. Install the transformer as indicated in this user
manual.
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 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 VSA speaker user manual to know their maximum sound pressure levels.
12. To prevent inductive effects from causing hum, noise and a bad system working, speaker lines should not be laid together
with other electric cables (mains), microphone or line level signal cables connected to amplifier inputs.
13. Cables connected to this transformer shall have wires with a suitable section (twisted, if possible, to reduce inductive
effects due to surrounding electromagnetic fields) and a sufficient electrical insulation. Refer to local regulations since there
may be additional requirements about cable characteristics.
14. Do not use solvents, alcohol, benzene or other volatile substances for cleaning the external parts. Use a dry cloth.
