Ec Declaration Of Conformity; Safety Considerations - Genelec DSP 8260A Operating Manual

Introduction
Congratulations and a thank-you for the purchase of this Genel-
ec 8200 Series DSP Loudspeaker. These systems are designed
to integrate easily into the digital production environment. There
are several ways to configure and operate the DSP loudspeakers
for a wide variety of high quality audio applications. The loud-
speakers also have analog inputs, making them versatile and
intelligent replacements for analog loudspeakers.
This manual addresses setting up and using the 8240A, 8250A
and 8260A DSP loudspeakers in stand-alone mode without the
Genelec Loudspeaker Manager GLM™ and the proprietary
Genelec loudspeaker control network. Use with the GLM™ is
described in the DSP System Operating Manual.

Compliance to FCC Rules
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference, and
• This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equip-
ment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
2
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment under FCC
rules.

Safety Considerations

Although the 8240A, 8250A and 8260A have been designed in
accordance with international safety standards, to ensure safe
operation and to maintain the loudspeaker under safe operat-
ing conditions, the following warnings and precautions must be
observed:
• Servicing and adjustment must only be performed by
qualified service personnel. The loudspeaker enclosure
must not be opened.
• Do not use this product with an unearthed mains cable or
a mains connection without the protective earth contact as
this may lead to personal injury.
• To prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to
water or moisture.
• Do not place any objects filled with liquid, such as vases on
the loudspeaker or near it.
• Note that the amplifier is not completely disconnected
from the AC mains service unless the mains power cord is
removed from the amplifier or the mains outlet.
• Free flow of air behind the loudspeaker is necessary to
maintain sufficient cooling.
• Do not obstruct airflow around the loudspeakers.
WARNING!
All Genelec 8200 Series loudspeakers are capable of produc-
ing sound pressure levels in excess of 85 dB, which may cause
permanent hearing damage.
System
Genelec 8240A, 8250A and 8260A DSP Loudspeakers are de-
signed for precise monitoring of 24 bit/192 kHz AES/EBU digi-
tal audio signal or line level analog audio signal. They are fully
compatible with Genelec Loudspeaker Manager GLM™ and the
proprietary Genelec loudspeaker control network, and Genelec
7260A, 7270A and 7271A DSP Active Subwoofers, but can also
be used independently of these. The 8240A, 8250A and 8260A
