Product Usage Instructions

Warnings and Precautions

• Please select screws and mounting location supporting 4 times the system weight.
• Do not expose the system to excessive dust, vibrations, or extreme cold or hot temperatures to reduce the risk of damaging components.
• Do not place the system in an unstable position as it could fall accidentally.
• If the system is used on a tripod, ensure the tripod’s specifications are adapted and that its height does not exceed 1.40m/55. Do not move the tripod with the system in position.
• Before moving the system, unplug connected cables.
• Power off the system before connecting or disconnecting it.
• When switching on the installation, power on the amplifier last. When switching off the installation, shut off the amplifier first.
• If you work in cold temperatures, progressively raise the level to the nominal value during the first minutes of use to allow the system components to stabilize.
• Regularly check the system condition.

High Sound Pressure Levels
Exposure to very high sound pressure levels may cause permanent hearing losses. The OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) American Agency has specified the following maximal exposures

115

Equipment
The ePS6 is equipped with the following fittings and connectors

• Two M6 with 80 mm pitch plus one M10 fittings on each side of the cabinet to connect the ePS6 to accessories (VNIVCPL365, VNU-BUMP, VNU-HBRK365, or eye-bolts).
• Three M6 (70mm pitch) at the back of the speaker to connect wall mounts in both vertical and horizontal positions (VNI-WB02, VNI-WM01, VNI-WM02).
• Two pairs (In/Out) of 7.62 mm pitch screw terminal blocks for connecting cables from 0.75 mm2 to 3.31 mm2 (12 to 15 AWG) copper section.

Description
The ePS6 is a compact full-range 2-way speaker with asymmetrical HF dispersion S type. It can be used alone or with eLS400 subwoofers. The speaker is equipped with 2 pairs (In/Out) of screw terminal blocks for connecting cables from 0.75 mm2 to 3.31 mm2 (12 to 15 AWG) copper section. The maximum outside diameter of the cable should be 11mm.

To wire the ePS6, slit the membrane of the grommet crosswise, pass the cable through, and make the connection to the screw terminals. Place the IPCOV correctly as it has an IP55 rating.

Compatibility

WARNINGS

PRECAUTIONS
Do not open the speaker, do not try to disassemble it neither to modify it in any way. The system doesn’t include any user-repairable part.
If the system seems to be malfunctioning or damaged, stop using it at once and have it repaired by a NEXO qualified technician.
Do not expose the system directly to the sun or to the rain, do not immerse it into fluids, do not place objects filled with liquid on the system. If a liquid gets into the system, please have it inspected by a NEXO qualified technician.
When flying outdoor systems ensure that the system is not exposed to excessive wind or snow loads and is protected from rainfall.
In case of wind greater than 8 on Beaufort scale (72km/h – 45mph), a touring system has to be landed or an additional securing has to be implanted.
For fixed installations, wind loading has to be taken into account in accordance to the national standards
The connection should be performed by qualified technician, by ensuring that power is off.

Operating temperature with temperate climate: 0°C to +40°C (+32°F to +104); -20°C à +60°C (-4°F to +140°F) for storage.

SAFETY INFORMATIONS

• Read this manual before using the speaker.
• Keep this manual available for further reference.
• Observe all warnings and cautions.
• Please check the NEXO Web site nexo-sa.com to get the most up-to-date version of this manual.
• Ensure you are aware of the safety rules applying to rigging, stacking or installing on tripod or speaker stand. Failure to observe these rules may expose persons to potential wounds or even death.
• Only use the system with accessories specified by NEXO.
• Please always consult a NEXO-accredited technician if the installation needs architectural works and observe following precautions
• Mounting Precautions
  • Please select screws and mounting location supporting 4 times the system weight.
  • Do not expose the system to excessive dust, vibrations, to extreme cold or hot temperatures, to reduce the risk of damaging components.
  • Do not place the system in an unstable position: it could fall accidentally.
  • If the system is used on a tripod, please ensure the tripod’s specifications are adapted and that its height does not exceed 1.40m/55”. Do not move the tripod with the system in position.

Connection and Powering Precautions

• Unplug connected cables before moving the system.
• Power off the system before connecting the system.
• When switching on the installation, the amplifier must be powered last; when switching the installation off, shut off the amplifier first.
• If you work by cold temperatures, progressively raise the level to nominal value during the first minutes of use, to allow the system components to stabilize.

Please check regularly the system condition.

HIGH SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS
Exposure to very high sound pressure levels may cause permanent hearing losses. Degrees of hearing losses may be different from one person to another, but almost everybody will be affected if exposed to high sound pressure levels during a long period of time. The OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) American Agency specified the following maximal exposures
