[. . . ] Use of a AC separator transformer is mandatory during maintenance while the appliance is opened, needs to be operated and is connected to the AC. Switch off the power before retrofitting any extensions, changing the AC voltage or the output voltage. The minimum distance between parts carrying AC voltage and any accessible metal piece (metal enclosure), respectively between the AC poles has to be 3 mm and needs to be minded at all times. The minimum distance between parts carrying AC voltage and any switches or breakers that are not connected to the AC (secondary parts) has to be 6 mm and needs to be minded at all times.

This system is the culmination of EV's experience in transducer design. Please take time to consult this manual so that you can understand all the features built into your EV system and fully utilize all its performance capabilities. ELECTRO-VOICE® ZxA5 Owner's Manual 2 Safety First When setting up, installing and using the Electro-Voice® ZxA5 speaker system, there are a number of precautions that you should follow: · When Electro-Voice® ZxA5 speakers are used for portable applications in which they will be positioned directly on the floor, make sure that the floor or stage is solid and secure. · Electro-Voice® ZxA5 speakers include 1-3/8 inch stand mounts to allow mounting on tripod stands. Make sure to: · Check the specifications of the speaker stand to be certain it is capable of supporting the weight of the speaker. · Check that the speaker stand is placed on a flat, stable surface and be sure to fully extend the legs of the stand. Do not try to make the stand "taller" and compromise its structural integrity. · Route cables and position the stand so that performers, production crew and audience members will not trip over the stand or cables and pull the speaker system over. It is not recommended that you use a ZxA5 in Fullrange mode with subwoofers. Level This control sets the output level of the ZxA5 in a range between - and +6dB. The internal power dB amplifier provides a nominal input sensitivity of +6dBu. If the switch is not lit upon turning the power on, make sure that the AC cord is correctly connected. If the AC cord is correctly connected and the AC switch does not light upon power-on, please contact your local dealer. Mains Out The PowerCon AC out socket allows the connection of additional ZxA5 Systems. To prevent AC network overload, connecting more than (3) ZxA5 Systems to a single AC outlet (10A 16A) is not recommended. CAUTION: Blue and grey PowerCon power connector shall not be engaged or disengaged when under load or live. CAUTION: This appliance has no user-serviceable parts inside. Leave any servicing and maintenance to qualified service technicians only. ELECTRO-VOICE® ZxA5 Owner's Manual 6 Suspending ZxA5 Speaker Systems ZxA5 enclosures have 5 steel anchor points internally mounted on the top, bottom, and rear. There are two more locations on the bottom to mount single-stud anchor plates for flying the ZxA5 upside-down or horizontally. All of these locations can facilitate M8 Eyebolts if desired as well.

[. . . ] Sherwin Williams Plastic Adhesion Promoter UP07226 is a good example (See Telex document number LIT000066-000 for further details. ) Once Plastic Adhesion Promoter is applied follow the manufacturer's painting directions as you would normally. Painting a ZxA5 Grille Remove grille from loudspeaker and remove the backing material & logo from grille prior to painting. Once the paint is dry, reapply the backing material and logo to the grille. Spray adhesive such as 3M Super 77 may help adhere the backing material to the grille. [. . . ]
