IMPORTANT NOTES
This manual contains important information about the correct and safe use of the
device. Before connecting and using this product, 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 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 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.
IMPORTANT NOTES
To prevent the occurrence of noise on line signal cables, use screened cables only
and avoid putting them close to:
- Equipment that produces high-intensity electromagnetic fields
- Power cables
- Loudspeaker lines
