6. GENERAL SAFETY RULES AND

WARNINGS

The following rules and suggestions should be accurately followed in order

to be compliant with most obvious safety rules, to avoid serious and

permanent damage to the FIREMASTER system and to obtain always the

best performance:

1) Avoid any water spillage or spray on the front-panel of the Remote

Units RX48 (also on the TX5000 of course!). The Units are NOT

COMPLETELY WATERPROOF. Dry immediately any Unit that

accidentally received a spray of fresh water or rain. Disconnect and

dispose any Unit wet of SEAWATER: these Units must have service as

soon as possible to clean out the internal circuits.

2) Never clean the front panels using solvents such as: alcohol, organic

solvents, acids or alkali. The panels must be cleaned using a soft cloth or

paper tissue wet with a little neutral detergent (no foaming type). Avoid

to scratch the surfaces!

3) During the show execution, protect the Remote Units RX48 the burning

fallout using the aluminum covers provided with lateral slits for the

cable passage. For an increased protection and to save the cover paint,

special fiberglass covers can be obtained upon request from the

manufacturer or the local representative.

4) Avoid if possible placing the Remote Units RX48 directly on the ground

(in particular if it is frozen, wet or muddy). The Units should be always

placed at least 50cm - 1 meter ABOVE THE GROUND using adequate

supports not flammable: avoid thus cardboard, plastics or wood

boxes!

5) Use ONLY ONE ANTENNA AT THE TIME. Using two antennas at

the same time (the availability of two separate connectors could suggest

to do that!), other than reducing quite to zero the transmitter efficiency,

could impair permanently the transmitter circuitry.

6) Never use the System Units (both the RX48 and the TX5000)

without the antenna connected.

7) Never use the System exposing it for long periods to extreme

temperatures (above 35°C or below 0°C).

8) The Units must be stored in a dry place with an ambient temperature

between 5°C and 30°C (maximum limits).

9) Avoid to charge the internal batteries for more than 24 hours (forcing the

repetition of the charge cycle). The internal charge supervisor limits the

charge time to 12 hours maximum.

10) Switch OFF all the Units before the storage in the shelf

11) Replace immediately all faulty batteries or the ones suspected to have

poor performance (the cost of a battery doesn't worth a fiasco!)

12) Dispose the discarded batteries following the local rules for recycling

this type of material.

13) Let always enough space around the antennas. It is a good rule to avoid

the presence of large metal surfaces far less than 10 meters from the

antenna.

Always try to operate with all field Units in "line of sight" with the TX5000 transmitter.
