IV.
TESTING/OPERATING.
Under certain conditions these devices are capable of producing sounds loud
enough to cause hearing damage. Adequate hearing protection should be
worn if standing within close proximity to device while testing. Recommen-
dations in the OSHA Sound Level Standard (29 CFR 1910) should not be
exceeded.
A.
After installation is complete, be sure to test the system to verify that each
amplified speaker operates satisfactorily. If it is found that the unit is too loud for its
location, an internal volume control can be adjusted. Remove the housing cover and
insert a slotted electricians' type screwdriver into the volume control shown in figure 2.
Gently turn the control counter-clockwise to decrease the sound output to the desired
loudness. Reinstall the housing cover.
Property damage, serious injury, or death could occur if the housing is not
closed properly. To reduce possibility of explosion, housing cover must be kept
tight while circuits are energized.
B.
Provide a copy of these instructions for the Safety Engineer, system
operator(s) and maintenance personnel.
Even if your warning system is operating properly, it may not be completely
effective. People may not hear or heed your warning signal. You must recog-
nize this fact and ensure that your warning signal achieves its intended effect
through proper test/training sequences within your specific application(s).
