Operating Determinations - Omnitronic KPA-206 User Manual

OPERATING DETERMINATIONS

This speaker-system is a passive system which can be used for permanent installations or for mobile use.
This product is only allowed to be connected with an appropriate power amplifier and was designed for
indoor use only.
The given maximum power of the speaker-system describes short-term peaks the system can handle as a
maximum. The correspondent RMS power is - as of all comparable systems (also from other manufacturers)
- significantly lower. The maximum power of the speaker-system must never be exceeded. When operating
the speaker-system, please make sure that the loudspeakers always sound well. When distorsions can be
heard, either the amplifier or the loudspeaker 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 speaker-systems are destroyed by overload, the guarantee becomes void.
By operating speaker-systems with an amplifier, you can produce excessive sound pressure levels that may
lead to permanent hearing loss. Please refer to the explanations under "Legal instructions".
Speaker-systems must only be operated by instructed persons.
Danger of Life due to crashing speaker-systems or hearing loss due to excessive sound pressure
levels! The different local conditions have to be considered in terms of safety rules.
This speaker-system must never be operated or stockpiled in surroundings where splash water, rain,
moisture or fog may harm the speaker-system. When using smoke machines, make sure that the speaker-
system is never exposed to the direct smoke jet and is installed in a distance of 0.5 meters between smoke
machine and speaker-system.
The ambient temperature must always be between -5° C and +45° C. Keep away from direct insulation
(particularly in cars) and heaters.
The relative humidity must not exceed 50 % with an ambient temperature of 45° C.
This speaker-system must only be installed at a solid, plane, anti-slip, vibration-free, oscilation-free and fire-
resistant location.
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.
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 speaker-system must never be installed higher than 100 cm without secondary attachment.
For overhead use (mounting height >100 cm), always fix the speaker-system with an appropriate safety-
rope.
For KPA-206 and KPA-208:
The installation of the speaker-system has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the
weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
This device is only allowed for an installation via the mounting bracket. In order to safeguard sufficient
ventilation, leave 50 cm of free space around the device.
This speaker-system must never be stacked - Danger to Life due to crashing speaker-systems!
