Precautions Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably to noise induced hearing loss but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures: DURATION PER DAY (HOURS) -

Page 7: Installation
Hi-Fi2. The Hi-Fi2 Main Assemble can be installed in a Vented Enclosure (HAI Part Number: 95A09-1) that can be tucked away in a closet or basement or can be installed in a Leviton, OnQ, Channel Vision, Siemon, or other "open house" type structured wiring enclosure using an HAI Universal Mounting Plate (HAI Part Number: 20A07-2). -
Page 8: Setting The Frequency Of The Ir Output
Setting the Frequency of the IR Output When using the RIM to send IR data to source equipment, there are two different IR carrier frequencies in which the RIM can transmit the IR signal. The default setting of 38 kHz is used for most audio sources. However, most cable and satellite converter boxes operate at a higher IR 38kHz 56kHz carrier frequency closer to 56 kHz. -

The color of the VSC may be changed to complement the interior décor. The VSC is supplied with a white faceplate, rubber keypad, and insert. Additional colors are available; contact your HAI distributor for more information. Change the color of the RIM as follows: 1. -
Page 10: Serial Control
Serial Control TO SERIAL PORT ON Hi-Fi2 can be remotely controlled HAI CONTROLLER through an HAI controller or by a device with a serial interface. When connected, the remote device can select an audio zone and change its power state, source, volume setting, and mute... -
Page 11: Ethernet Control
When the input is deactivated, all audio zones will be returned to their previous source selection, power state, and volume setting. When used with an HAI controller and Two-Way Voice Module with Line-Level output and Mute/Page Control, custom announcements can be made over all zone speakers when certain events take place. -
Page 12: Speaker Wiring
The Hi-Fi2 System is designed to work with one pair of 8-ohm speakers per audio zone. If additional speakers are required in an audio zone, HAI recommends: a) use the Zone Grouping feature of Hi-Fi2 where two or more audio zones control the same source, volume, and/or power state so that any or all of these items are controlled together;... -
