SAFETY AND OPERATING

PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT NOTES

Before connecting and using this product, please read this instruction manual

carefully and keep it on hand for future reference.This 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.

SAFETY AND OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

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

attention, as they provide important information.

2. Speaker lines (amplier outputs) can have a sufciently high voltage (i.e. 100-

70 V) to involve a risk of electrocution: never install or connect speakers when

the line is alive.

3. Make sure all connections have been made correctly and the speaker input

voltage is suitable for the amplier output.

4. Protect speaker lines from damage. Make sure they are positioned in a way

that they cannot be stepped on or crushed by objects.

5. Make sure that no objects or liquids can get into this product, as this may

cause a short circuit.

6. 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 speaker does not function (or works in an anomalous way).

-Its cable has been damaged.

-Objects or liquids have got into the unit.

-The speaker has been damaged due to heavy impacts or re.

7. Should the speaker emit any strange odours or smoke, remove it from the line

after having immediately switched the amplier off.

8. Do not connect this product to any equipment or accessories not foreseen.

Do not try to hang this speaker by using elements that are unsuitable or not

specic for this purpose.

Check the suitability of the components used for attachment (i.e. wall plugs,

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.

ENGLISH

9. RCF S.P.A. strongly recommends this product is only installed by professional

qualied installers (or specialised rms) who can ensure a 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. 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.).

11. 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 exposure time.

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

necessary to wear ear plugs or protective earphones.

See the technical specications in the instruction manual for the maximum sound

pressure of the speaker.

12. To ensure a correct sound reproduction, speaker phase is to be respected

(loudspeakers are connected respecting the amplier polarity). This is important

when speakers are installed adjacent one another, for instance, in the same room.

Make sure speaker lines are not shorted before turning the amplier on.

13. To prevent inductive effects from causing hum, noise and a bad system

working, speaker lines should not be laid together with other electric cables

(mains), microphone or line level signal cables connected to amplier inputs.

14. The speaker cable shall have wires with a suitable section (twisted, if

possible, to reduce inductive effects due to surrounding electro-magnetic elds)

and a sufcient electrical insulation. Refer to local regulations, as there may be

additional requirements about cable characteristics.

15. Install this speaker far from any heat source.

16. Do not use solvents, alcohol, benzene or other volatile substances for

cleaning the external parts of this product. Use a dry cloth.

RCF S.P.A. THANKS YOU FOR PURCHASING THIS PRODUCT, WHICH

HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO GUARANTEE RELIABILITY AND HIGH

PERFORMANCE.

DESCRIPTION AND PLACEMENT

GS 60 is an outdoor speaker suitable

for gardens that includes a 5” coaxial

loudspeaker and an internal transformer

for 100 V / 70 V constant voltage lines.

Take off the GS 60 speaker from the

packaging (which should be kept for a

possible reuse).

Should the speaker be damaged, do

not use it, but contact your authorized

dealer.

GS 60 can be placed on the ground (and hard surfaces, such as wood or

concrete) and fixed with a custom bracket (not included).

When choosing a location, keep in mind the following guidelines:

-Choose a flat surface in order to prevent any movement or vibration

during its use.

-Place speakers where their cables could not be trod or pulled.

-Do not place speakers on grounds that could get ponds when it is

raining.

-Do not bury GS 60 speakers deeper than 3” (76 mm).

WARNING: ensure speaker connections are made properly only by qualied

and experienced personnel having the necessary technical know-how or

sufcient specic instructions, in order to prevent any electrical danger.

To prevent any risk of electric shock, do not connect speakers when the

amplier is switched on. Before turning the system on, check all connections

and make sure there are no accidental short circuits. The entire sound system

shall be designed and installed in compliance with the current local laws and

regulations regarding electrical systems.

TO BE BURIED

IN THE GROUND

ENGLISH

The speaker has two wires for connection:

red (+) and black (–).

Connect the amplifier positive output (usually

marked with either ‘+’ or ‘100 V’ / ‘70 V’ or ‘a’)

to the speaker red wire.

Connect the amplifier negative output (usually

marked with either ‘–’ or ‘0’ or ‘COM’ or ‘b’) to

the speaker black wire.

Connections can be protected by soldering the

wires together with heat shrink tubing to seal or

using waterproof connectors.

Depending on the installation type, the direct

burial of the speaker cable may be adequate,

but the use of suitable PVC pipelines is strongly

recommended to protect cables against damage (for instance, due to

excavations in the installation area).

Always use moisture-resistant cables.

If loudspeaker cables may be exposed to salt water or containing

chemicals (e.g. chlorine, fertilizers), it is advisable to use silicone caulking

materials as additional protection for loudspeaker connections.

Set the switch to the proper power value [W] (indicated by

the arrow).

8 Ω = low impedance direct connection (without internal

transformer)

Ø= not allowed (100 V line)

IMPORTANT NOTES:

-When set to 8 Ω (loW impedance),

neVeR connect the speakeR to a100 / 70 V line.

-When set to 32 W @ 70 V, neVeR connect the speakeR to

a100 V line.

SPEAKERS

ENGLISH

-The loudspeaker input voltage (Vd) shall correspond to the amplier

output voltage (Va).

-The sum of nominal power values (Pd x n) of all loudspeakers connected

to the line shall not exceed the amplier power (Pa).

-The total loudspeaker impedance must not be lower than the amplier

output impedance. A loudspeaker total impedance equal to the amplier

output one permits to get the maximum deliverable power (but an higher

loudspeaker impedance entails less power).

-The total loudspeaker power shall be adequate for the maximum

deliverable power of the amplier.

-The loudspeaker line shall be short (for long distances, it may be necessary

to use cables with large cross-section wires).

-Do NOT connect the low impedance input directly to 70 / 100 V constant

voltage lines.

ENGLISH

-Always use cables having wires with an adequate cross-section,

considering the cable length and the total loudspeaker power.

-Loudspeaker lines must be kept separated from mains cable, microphone

cables or others, in order to avoid inductive phenomena may cause hum

or noises.

-Use loudspeaker cables having twisted wires to reduce hum caused by

inductive effects due to coupling with electromagnetic elds.

-Make sure all loudspeakers are connected in phase to ensure a correct

sound reproduction.
