Safety instructions
PA systems the size of the Galeo pose different types of risk:
- aurally
Even at a low power input the Galeo unit can produce a hazardous sound
pressure level that may cause acute and permanent damage to the ear.
Never sit or stand in the immediate vicinity of the loudspeaker during
operation and always wear ear protection.
Observe the respective German trade association regulation BGV B3
pertaining to noise
- mechanical
During assembly and disassembly, moveable devices and falling parts may
cause serious physical injury.
Observe the respective German trade association regulation BGV D8
pertaining to winches and hoisting gear (basic principles of prevention) as well
as those regarding event and production facilities for the performing arts.
- magnetic and electrical
Even if not connected to a power source, loudspeakers produce a static
magnetic field that can damage cards with a magnetic strip or delete sound
recordings and the like. Amplifiers can emit dangerous voltage. This voltage is
also present on free loudspeaker connectors. It is vital that these connectors
are covered when not used or in wet conditions.
Observe the safety instructions of the amplifier manufacturer and the
respective German trade association regulation BGV A2 pertaining to electrical
equipment and utilities.
Assembly and disassembly of a Galeo PA system must be carried out only by
qualified personnel who are familiar with the corresponding regulations and
adhere to and act in accordance with them. Please note that all quoted
regulations are predominantly applicable in Germany. Work in compliance with
the regulations applicable in the country you are in.
