Precautions; Service - HHB CIRCLE SERIES Operating Instructions Manual

Precautions

The active HHB Circle loudspeakers are simple to install, but
like all electrical equipment, care must be taken to ensure
reliable, safe operation. The following points should always
be observed:
• This equipment must be earthed. In a situation using
multiple speakers the mains power should be derived
from a central set of outlets that have a solid ground
connection. Should a problem exist with hum loops, the
ground connections on the XLR input connectors should
be disconnected, not the mains earth connection. The
mains earth connection must NEVER be removed from
these speakers.
• Ensure the speakers are the correct voltage for the
available mains supply.
• All mains wiring should be installed and checked by a
qualified electrician.

• To prevent fire or electric shock hazard do not operate this
equipment outside, or expose to rain or moisture. Do not
operate when disassembled or if the cabinet is damaged,
exposing the internal electronics.
• When replacing the fuse in the active Circle 5, Circle 3 and
Circle 1, use only the correct rating of fuse - a 2A slow
blow type for the Circle 5A and Circle 1A, or a 630mA slow
blow type for the Circle 3A. The fuses used must conform
to local safety regulations.
• As the performance of a new loudspeaker will improve
after the first few hours of use due to the bedding in of the
cone materials and suspensions, it is recommended that
new speakers should be driven at a moderate level for a
few hours before critical listening is attempted.
