• Make sure to observe the instructions in this manual as the conventions of safety symbols and messages regarded as very important precautions are included.

• We also recommend you keep this instruction manual handy for future reference.

Safety Symbol and Message Conventions

Safety symbols and messages described below are used in this manual to prevent bodily injury and property damage which could result from mishandling. Before operating your product, read this manual first so you are thoroughly aware of the potential safety hazards as well as understand the safety symbols and messages.

When Installing the Unit

• Do not expose the unit to rain or an environment where it may be splashed by water or other liquids, as doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not cut, kink, otherwise damage nor modify the connection cables. In addition, avoid using the cables in close proximity to heaters, and never place heavy objects on the cables, as doing so may result in fire.

• Avoid installing or mounting the unit in unstable locations, such as on a rickety table or a slanted surface. Doing so may result in the unit falling down and causing personal injury and/or property damage.

• Install the unit only in a location that can structurally support the weight of the unit and the mounting bracket. Doing otherwise may result in the unit falling down and causing personal injury and/or property damage.

• To prevent the electromagnetic wave from badly influencing medical equipment, avoid installing the unit in close proximity to the medical equipment.

When the Unit is in Use

• Should the following irregularity be found during use, immediately switch off the circuit breaker of the junction panel to which the unit is connected. Then, contact your nearest TOA dealer. Make no further attempt to operate the unit in this condition as this may cause fire or electric shock.

·If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming from the unit.

·If water or any liquid gets into the unit

·If the unit falls, or the unit case breaks

·If the connection cables are damaged (exposure of the core, disconnection, etc.)

• Do not place cups, bowls, or other containers of liquid on top of the unit. If they accidentally spill into the unit, this may cause a fire or electric shock.

• Do not touch connection cables during thunder and lightning, as this may result in electric shock.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in death or serious personal injury.

WARNING

When Installing the Unit

• Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations, in locations exposed to the direct sunlight, near the heaters, or in locations generating sooty smoke or steam as doing otherwise may result in fire.

When the Unit is in Use

• Do not place heavy objects on the unit as this may cause it to fall or break which may result in personal injury and/or property damage. In addition, the object itself may fall off and cause injury and/or damage.

• Do not stand on nor hang down from the unit as this may cause it to fall down or drop, resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.

• Cut off the power supply (24 VDC) to the unit for safety purposes when cleaning or leaving the unit unused for 10 days or more. A fire may result.

CAUTION

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

TOA's RM-1200 is a general-purpose remote control unit designed to be used in conjunction with TOA's FS971 Series Rack Mounted Emergency PA Systems. Featuring a built-in chime unit, the RM-1200 permits group broadcast of up to 20 groups, simultaneous all-zone broadcast, and individual zone broadcast of up to 330 zones. First-in-first-out or Last-in-first-out priority can be assigned to individual units when connecting multiple remote control units.

3. FEATURES

• Liquid crystal display facilitates check of broadcasting status, and initial setting.

• Individual zone broadcast of up to 330 zones (FS-971 Series).

• Uni-directional microphone suited for announcements.

• AUX input jack permits connection of a cassette deck or CD player.

• Internal compressor circuit prevents sound distortion due to large input.

(Functional only when the microphone is used.)

• Can be mounted on a wall.

4. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

• Use the unit only with the voltage specified on the junction panel to which the unit is connected. Using a voltage higher than that which is specified may result in equipment failure.

• To clean, wipe with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner or chemically-processed towel because the unit may be deformed or its finish discolored.

• When the case or operation panel is dirty, lightly wipe it down with a soft cloth. When it gets very dirty, wipe it down with a wrung towel after dipping it in a neutral detergent diluted with water, then wipe with a dry cloth.

• Do not spray an insecticide or other volatile liquids over the unit. Avoid leaving the unit in contact with the rubber or vinyl products for long hours because its quality may deteriorate or paint peel off.
