SAFETY AND OPERATING
PRECAUTIONS
Before connecting and using this product, please read this user 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.
SAFETY AND OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
1.
All the precautions, in particular the safety ones, must be read with special attention, as they
provide important information.
2.
Speaker 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 speaker when the line is alive.
3.
Make sure all connections have been made correctly and the speaker input voltage is suitable for
the amplifier output.
4.
Protect speaker 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:
- The speaker does not function (or works in an anomalous way).
- The cable has been damaged.
- Objects or liquids have got into the speaker.
- The speaker has been damaged due to heavy impacts or fire.
7.
Should the speaker emit any strange smell 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.
For suspended installation, only use the dedicated anchoring points and do not try to hang this speaker
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 (wall plugs, 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.
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 professional audio
systems (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 this user manual to know the maximum sound pressure this speaker
is capable of producing.
