SAFETY MESSAGES TO INSTALLERS AND USERS
It is important to follow all instructions shipped with this product. This amplified speaker is to be installed by a trained
electrician who is thoroughly familiar with and will follow all applicable national and local codes in the country of use.
This amplified speaker should be considered a part of the warning system and not the entire warning system.
The selection of the mounting location for the amplified speaker, its controls, and the routing of the wiring are to
be accomplished under the direction of the facilities engineer and the safety engineer. Listed below are some other
important safety instructions and precautions you should follow:
• Read and understand all instructions before installing or operating this equipment.
• To avoid electrical shock hazards, do not connect wires when power is applied. Failure to observe this warning may
lead to serious injury or death.
• Never alter the unit in any manner. Safety in hazardous locations may be endangered if additional openings or other
alterations are made in units specifically designed for use in these locations.
• Do not connect this amplified speaker to the system when power is on.
• All effective warning speakers produce loud sounds, which may cause, in certain situations, permanent hearing
loss. Take appropriate precautions such as hearing protection. The device should be installed far enough away from
potential listeners to limit their exposure while still maintaining its effectiveness.
• After installation, ensure that all threaded joints are properly tightened.
• After installation, test the amplified speaker system to ensure that it is operating properly
• Keep the unit tightly closed when in operation.
• After testing is complete, provide a copy of this instruction sheet to all personnel.
• Brass inserts have the potential to store a charge when they are not plugged. Consideration should be taken to
prevent these from becoming a sparking hazard.
• Establish a procedure to routinely check the amplified speaker system for proper activation and operation.
• This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D; Class II, Division 2, Groups F and G; Class
III or non-hazardous locations only.
• WARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD: Do not disconnect while the circuit is live or unless the area is known to be free
of ignitable concentrations.
• WARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD: Do not remove or replace the fuse when energized.
• The purchaser should make the manufacturer aware of any external effects or aggressive substances to which the
equipment may be exposed.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property damage, serious injury, or death to you or
others.
With respect to the potential electrostatic charging hazard as mentioned in the certificate "Specific Conditions of Use,"
under normal conditions of use, these devices are for fixed installations and not generally in contact with people. The risk
of ignition is low. In addition, maintenance, cleaning, and extreme environmental factors (e.g., high velocity dust-laden
atmospheres or high-pressure steam) should be taken into account by the end user using local Explosive Atmosphere
(Ex) Electrical installation design, selection, inspection, and maintenance Codes and Standards. Cleaning of the devices
should be done only with a damp cloth.
