SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT

Before connecting and using this product, please read this instruction manual carefully and keep it on hand for future reference. The manual is to be considered an integral part of this product and must accompany it when it changes ownership as a reference for correct installation and use as well as for the safety precautions. RCF S.p.A. will not assume any responsibility for the incorrect installation and / or use of this product.

WARNING: To prevent the risk of re or electric shock, never expose this product to rain or humidity. This device is intended for indoor use only.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. All the precautions, in particular the safety ones, must be read with special attention, as they

provide important information.

2.1 PRIMARY POWER SUPPLY FROM MAINS

- The mains voltage is sufciently high to involve a risk of electrocution: never install or connect this

product when its power cord is plugged in.

- Before powering up, make sure that all the connections have been made correctly and the voltage

of your mains corresponds to the voltage shown on the rating plate on the unit, if not, please contact your RCF dealer.

- This apparatus can be connected to either TT or TN earthing arrangements only.

- The metallic parts of the unit are earthed by means of the power cord. An apparatus with CLASS

I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

- This apparatus shall be connected to a facility equipped device to protect against earth faults,

appropriately sized for the type and power of the installed line (RCD).

- Protect the power cord from damage. Make sure it is positioned in a way that it cannot be stepped

on or crushed by objects.

- To prevent the risk of electric shock, never open this product: there are no parts inside that the

user needs to access.

- The mains plug is used to disconnect the device and it shall remain readily operable.

2.2 SECONDARY (/ EMERGENCY) POWER SUPPLY THROUGH BATTERIES

- The apparatus operating voltage is 48 V dc (therefore, it is necessary to connect in series several

batteries having a lower nominal voltage, example: 4 x 12 V, 2 x 24 V).

- Always use rechargeable batteries, which need to be chosen according to the maximum possible

load.

- Verify the polarity of batteries is correct.

- Do NOT short-circuit batteries (i.e. connecting the 2 opposite poles together with metallic wires).

- The 48 V dc plug is used to disconnect the device and it shall remain readily operable.

- The 48 V dc power supply does not go beyond the fact that there are dangerous voltages inside

the unit.

- Throw empty batteries away according to your country laws about ecology and environment

protection.

3. Make sure that no objects or liquids can get into this product, as this may cause a short circuit. This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing. No objects lled with liquid (such as vases) and no naked sources (such as lighted candles) shall be placed on this apparatus.

4. Never attempt to carry out any operations, modications or repairs that are not expressly described in this manual. Contact your authorized service centre or qualied personnel should any of the following occur:

- The product does not function (or functions in an anomalous way).

- The power cord has been damaged.

- Objects or liquids have got into the product.

- The product has been subject to a heavy impact.

5. If this product is not used for a long period, disconnect its power cord and batteries.

6. If this product begins emitting any strange odours or smoke, switch it off immediately and disconnect its power cord and batteries.

ENGLISH

7. The terminals marked with the symbol are HAZARDOUS LIVE and their connection is to be made by an INSTRUCTED PERSON or the use of ready-made cables is required.

8. Do not connect this product to any equipment or accessories not foreseen. For suspended installation, only use the dedicated anchoring points and do not try to hang this product by using elements that are unsuitable or not specic for this purpose. Also check the suitability of the support surface to which the product is anchored (wall, ceiling, structure, etc.), and the components used for attachment (screw anchors, screws, brackets not supplied by RCF etc.), which must guarantee the security of the system / installation over time, also considering, for example, the mechanical vibrations normally generated by transducers. To prevent the risk of falling equipment, do not stack multiple units of this product unless this possibility is specied in this user manual.

9. RCF S.p.A. strongly recommends this product is only installed by professional qualied installers (or specialised rms) who can ensure correct installation and certify it according to the regulations in force. The entire audio system must comply with the current standards and regulations regarding electrical systems.

10. SUPPORTS AND TROLLEYS

The equipment should be only used on trolleys or supports, where necessary, that are recommended by the manufacturer. The equipment / support / trolley assembly must be moved with extreme caution. Sudden stops, excessive pushing force and uneven oors may cause the assembly to overturn.

11. Mechanical and electrical factors need to be considered when installing a professional audio system (in addition to those which are strictly acoustic, such as sound pressure, angles of coverage, frequency response, etc.).

12. HEARING LOSS

Exposure to high sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. The acoustic pressure level that leads to hearing loss is different from person to person and depends on the duration of exposure. To prevent potentially dangerous exposure to high levels of acoustic pressure, anyone who is exposed to these levels should use adequate protection devices. When a transducer capable of producing high sound levels is being used, it is therefore necessary to wear ear plugs or protective earphones. See the technical specications in loudspeaker instruction manuals to know their maximum sound pressure levels.

13. Do not obstruct the ventilation grilles of the unit. Situate this product far from any heat sources and always ensure adequate air circulation around the ventilation grilles.

14. Never force the control elements (keys, knobs, etc. ).

15. Do not use solvents, alcohol, benzene or other volatile substances for cleaning the external parts

of this product. Use a dry cloth.

WARNING: Any change made by unauthorized personnel to the product and / or the system (in which it is installed and congured, including rack cabinet and wiring) may invalidate the CE marking (certication EN54-16: 2008) and also the product warranty.

RCF S.P.A. THANKS YOU FOR PURCHASING THIS PRODUCT, WHICH HAS BEEN MADE TO GUARANTEE RELIABILITY AND HIGH PERFORMANCE.

RP 9600 ‘Data Repeater’ is a DXT 9000 system component that needs to be inserted between the master unit (either MU 9186 or MU 9186/R or MX 9502 or MX 9504) and ampliers (UP 9501 / UP 9502 / UP 9504) when the bus cable is longer than 180 metres or the system includes more than 15 UP 950x ampliers.

It is also possible to insert a RP 9600 data repeater between an amplier and the next one.
