WARNING - Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property damage, serious injury, or
death to you or others.
MESSAGES TO INSTALLERS AND USERS
important to follow all instructions shipped with the products. This device is to be installed by a trained electrician who
is thoroughly familiar with the National Electric Code and will follow the NEC guidelines as well as local codes.
The selection of the mounting location for the device, its controls and routing of the wiring is 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 instructions before installing or operating equipment.
•
Do not connect this unit to the system when power is on.
•
All effective warning speakers produce loud sounds which may cause, in certain situations, permanent hearing
loss. You should take appropriate precautions such as wearing hearing protection.
•
After installation, test the sound system to ensure proper operation.
•
All effective warning speakers produce loud sounds, which may cause, in certain situations, permanent hearing
loss. The device should be installed far enough away from potential listeners to limit their exposure while still
maintaining its effectiveness.
•
The OSHA Code of Federal Regulations 1910.95 Noise Standard provides guidelines which may be used regarding
permissible noise exposure levels.
•
Show these instructions to your Safety Engineer and then file them in a safe place and refer to them when
maintaining and/or reinstalling the unit.
•
After installation and completion of initial system test, a program of periodic testing of this device must be
established. Refer to NFPA 72G, local Fire Codes and the authority having jurisdiction for this information.
•
Consult the authority having jurisdiction in your area regarding the proper use and installation of this product.
SHOCK HAZARD - To avoid electrical shock hazards, do not connect wires when power is applied.
