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.
2. 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 supply cable has been damaged.
• Objects or liquids have got in the unit.

• The product has been subject to a heavy impact.

• If this product is not used for a long period, disconnect the power cable.

• If this product begins emitting any strange odours or smoke, switch it off immediately and disconnect the power supply cable.

• The terminals marked with the symbol are HAZARDOUS LIVE and their connection is to be made by an INSTRUCTED PERSON or the use of ready-made cables is required.

• Do not connect this product to any equipment or accessories not foreseen.

IMPORTANT

WARNING

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.

9. 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.

10. Supports and trolleys

The equipment should be only used on trolleys or supports, where necessary, that are recommended by the manufacturer. The equipment / support / trolley assembly must be moved with extreme caution. Sudden stops, excessive pushing force and uneven floors may cause the assembly to overturn.

1. 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.).

12. 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 technical specifications in loudspeaker instruction manuals to know their maximum sound pressure levels.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

RCF S.P.A. THANKS YOU FOR PURCHASING THIS PRODUCT, WHICH HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO GUARANTEE RELIABILITY AND HIGH PERFORMANCES.

DESCRIPTION

UP 2082 and UP 2162 are devices with 2 separated and independent 80 W (UP 2082) / 160 W (UP 2162) amplifiers, each having 2 audio inputs, of which one with priority function through a closing contact.

Both the audio inputs are at 'line' level: for pre-amplified signals or music sources (e.g. CD players, tuners, etc.).

Each amplifier output is available either for low impedance loudspeakers (min. 4 Ω) or a 100 – 70 V constant voltage line (for loudspeakers having 100 – 70 V transformers).

On each amplifier:

• The input 1 can get the priority, which mutes the input 2, through an external command connected to the PRIOR IN.1 contact.
• The input 1 can be muted through an external command connected to the MUTE IN 1 contact.

Each amplifier has its (common) BASS and TREBLE tone controls.

Front panel LEDs indicate the device state (ON), protections (PROT), the priority activation (PRIOR) and the signal / peak level (SIG/PK) of the respective amplifier.

'PRIOR IN1' AND 'MUTE IN1' COMMANDS

When no command is activated, the inputs 1 and 2 are both open.

THE VOLUME OF THE MUSIC SOURCE (E.G. CD PLAYER, TUNER, ETC.) CONNECTED TO THE INPUT 2 ALSO DEPENDS ON ITS RESPECTIVE GAIN [7] / {} CONTROL ON THE REAR PANEL.

When the 'PRIOR.IN1' priority command is activated, the input 2 is muted.

When the 'MUTE IN1' command is activated, the input 1 is muted.

THE 'PRIOR.IN1' COMMAND OVERRIDES THE 'MUTE IN1' ONE.

Use 1 output only (either 100 V or 70 V or 4 Ω) per amplifier ('channel')!

100 / 70 V CONSTANT VOLTAGE OUTPUTS

• Each loudspeaker shall have a line transformer with the input voltage equal to the line voltage (100 / 70 V).
• The loudspeaker total power shall not be higher than the amplifier maximum power (UP 2082: 80 W, UP 2162: 160 W).

CDM 4Ω 70V 100V 100 V 0 100V 0 100V 0 100V

70 V COM 4Q 70V 100V 0 70V 0 70V 0 70V

LOW IMPEDANCE OUTPUT (4 Ω)

- The loudspeaker total impedance shall not be lower than 4 Ω.

NOTE: A TOTAL IMPEDANCE EQUAL TO 4 Ω ALLOWS THE AMPLIFIER MAXIMUM POWER DELIVERY. A HIGHER IMPEDANCE LEADS TO A REDUCTION OF THE POWER DELIVERED BY THE AMPLIFIER (E.G. 8 Ω: APPROX. ½ POWER, 16 Ω: APPROX. ¼ POWER). AN IMPEDANCE LOWER THAN 4 Ω OVERLOADS THE AMPLIFIER.

• Loudspeaker models shall be chosen by considering the max. power (UP 2082: 80 W on 4 Ω load, UP 2162: 160 W on a 4 Ω load) that the amplifier can deliver.
• Loudspeaker line should be as short as possible; long cables may need large wire cross-sections.
• Do not use, at the same time, both the low impedance output (4 Ω) and the constant voltage output (100V or 70V), as this overloads the amplifier.
