One Systems POPS 15a User Manual

PORTABLE OUTDOOR POWERED SYSTEM 15a

POPS15a USER MANUAL

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence of important operation and maintenance
instructions.

The lightening flash with arrowhead symbol within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may
be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

NOTE: The POPS 15a uses an auto-detection circuit that senses and
adjusts internal operating voltages to the AC Mains supply. The POPS 15a
will operate between 104VAC and 253VAC.

Although the AC Mains is automatically selected the user must insure that
the proper AC Mains cable is supplied (GFCI enabled for 115VAC operation
and PRCD enabled for 230VAC operation)

The Portable Outdoor Powered System 15a (POPS15a) was designed by One
Systems to fulfill a unique need in the professional audio marketplace. The
POPS15a was designed for use in any direct-weather outdoor applications, such
as sporting events, theme park events, civic celebrations and general outdoor
presentations. The POPS15a was designed for ALL weather applications and all
its components were developed for use in rain, snow and other inclement
weather applications. The highly-portable design is also ideal for mobile
applications in gymnasiums, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and meeting
rooms. The unique “narrow profile” integrated woofer and enclosure design
provide superior acoustic output with excellent sight-line characteristics.

Read all of the instructions included in this manual

NOTE: The AC mains supply end of the POPS15a power cable MUST be
plugged into a supply source that has a GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER (GFCI). The 115 V version is supplied with an in-line GFCI. The
230 Vac version is supplied with a Portable Residual Current Device (PRCD). In
Europe, these devices are also referred to as Residual Current Devices or
Residual Current Circuit Breakers.

NOTE: THE RESET ON THIS DEVICE SHOULD BE TESTED TO VERIFY
PROPER OPERATION OF THE SAFETY DEVICE!

POPS15a is supplied with an “in line” GFCI device for use in countries that use
115VAC. DO NOT bypass this device or disable. The end of the AC Mains cable
that is plugged in to the AC Mains supply must be in a dry condition.

POPS15a is supplied with an “in line” PRCD device for use in countries that use
230VAC. DO NOT bypass this device or disable. The end of the AC Mains cable
that is plugged in to the AC Mains supply must be in a dry condition.

NOTE: If a hard-wired GFCI or PRCD device is already located at the AC Mains
source connection then the “in line” devices may be removed. THIS MUST BE
DONE BY A LICSENSED ELECTRICIAN THAT IS FAMILIAR WITH ALL LOCAL
AND NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES AND PRACTICES.

DO NOT BYPASS THE GFCI OR PRCD DEVICE UNLESS YOU ARE FULLY
LICSENSED AND QUALIFIED TO DO SO!

Copies of this manual should be retained by both the system installer AND end
user.

This manual must be read and understood and ALL warnings must be followed.
Follow all instructions to insure optimal product performance.
POPS15a’s amplifier is a convection-cooled device and requires at least 7 inches

(178 mm) of clearance behind the enclosure to allow the heat sink to adequately
cool the internal electronics.

SEE SECTION BELOW ON THE POPS15a AND HIGH TEMPERATURE,
AMBIENT ENVIRONMENTS AND SOLAR GAIN.

DO NOT INSTALL NEAR ANY HEAT SOURCES!
Use ONLY the supplied AC Mains connector. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE!
Protect the AC Mains power cord from being walked on or otherwise damaged

and inspect for damaged connections and damaged insulation.
THE AC MAINS CONNECTION WHERE THE AC MAINS CABLE IS

CONNECTED TO THE AC MAINS LINE MUST BE LOCATED IN A DRY
LOCATION!

Use ONLY the supplied XLR/XLR cable. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE!
POPS15a may be suspended. DO NOT SUSPEND ANY ITEMS OR OTHER

ENCLOSURES BELOW THE POPS15a.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE SUSPENSION HARDWARE.

SUSPENSION SHOULD BE DONE BY SOMEONE FAMILIAR WITH LOCAL
AND NATIONAL CODES AND SAFE SUSPENSION PRACTICES
