Before installing the system, make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 5 times the system's load (e.g. weight 20 kg - point load 100 kg).

The installation of the device has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 5 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation.

English

Please note: when using this speaker system in public or industrial areas, a series of safety instructions have to be followed that this manual can only give in part. The operator must therefore inform himself on the current safety instructions and consider them.

Make sure that the area below the installation place is blocked when installing, uninstalling or servicing the fixture.

When installing, uninstalling or servicing the speaker staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time.

Procedure:

The device should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.

IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD INSTALLATION REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to) calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the device.

DANGER TO LIFE!

High voltage at terminals. Installation by skilled personnel only! Turn off PA system before connecting.

Cabling a PA system is an electric installation which must only be carried out by a qualified electrician! Always insulate the connection cables which are not used. Pay attention to the correct power matching. Overload will result in damage of the PA amplifier and of the speaker.

English

Procedure:

Step 1: If the PA system is turned on, turn it off before making any connection.

Step 2: Connect the speaker via two of the cables to the 100 V output of the PA amplifier: Use the black core COM (negative pole) and, according to the desired power rating, one of the other colored cores (see table in section Technical Specifications).

Step 3: When connecting several speakers, make sure that all speakers have the same polarity and that the amplifier is not overloaded.

5. OPERATION

Switch on the amplifier. Adjust the volume with the volume control.

Always make shure that the output signal is not distorted and that your speakers will not get damaged.

During operation, please make sure the speaker always sounds well. When distortions can be heard, either the amplifier or the speaker is overloaded. Overloads can quickly lead to amplifier or speaker damage.

In order to avoid damage, please reduce the volume immediately when distortions can be heard. When speakers are destroyed by overload, the guarantee becomes void.

Always check the sound pressure level with a meter in order to keep to the threshold.

6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are inspected by an expert after every four years in the course of an acceptance test.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are inspected by a skilled person once a year.

The following points have to be considered during the inspection:

1) All screws used for installing the speaker systems or parts of the speaker system have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded.
2) There must not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots (ceiling, suspension, trussing).
3) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages, material fatigue (e.g. porous cables) or sediments. Further instructions depending on the installation spot and usage have to be adhered by a skilled installer and any safety problems have to be removed.

We recommend a frequent cleaning of the speaker system. Please use a soft lint-free and moistened cloth. Never use alcohol or solvents!

There are no serviceable parts inside the speaker system. Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers.

If the speaker system distorts, one of the loudspeakers may be defective. Test the speaker system once more with another amplifier. If the sound remains distorted, the speaker system should not be operated any more in order to prevent further damage. Please contact your dealer.

If clacking sounds are heard from the speaker system, screws may have loosened due to the continuous vibrations. The speaker system should be checked by a specialist. Especially for public use, the speaker system should be checked before every operation so that the speaker system and the speakers in the systems are always well fixed.
