NOT plug the unit into a mains outlet and DO NOT switch the unit on. Contact
your dealer.
– To avoid fire and shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain and moisture.
– All repairs should be carried out by a qualified technician only.
– Connect the unit to an earthed mains outlet (220- 240Vac/50Hz) protected by
a 10-16A fuse.
– During a thunderstorm or if the unit will not be used for a longer period of
time, unplug it from the mains. The rule is: Unplug it from the mains when not
in use.
– If the unit has not been used for a longer period of time, condensation may
occur. Let the unit reach room temperature before you switch it on.
– Never use the unit in humid rooms or outdoors.
– To prevent accidents in companies, you must follow the applicable guide
lines and follow the instructions.
– Do not repeatedly switch the fixture on and off. This shortens the life
time.

unattended.
– Do not use cleaning sprays to clean switches. The residues of these sprays
cause deposits of dust and grease. In case of malfunction, always seek advice
from a specialist. – Do not force the controls.
– This unit is with speaker inside which can cause magnetic field. Keep this
unit at least 60cm away from computer or TV.
– If this product have a built-in lead-acid rechargeable battery. Please
recharge the battery every 3 months if you are not going to use the product
for a long period of time. Otherwise the battery may be permanently damaged.
– If the battery is damaged please replace with same specifications battery.
And dispose the damaged battery environment friendly.
– If the unit has fallen, always have it checked by a qualified technician
before you switch the unit on again.
– Do not use chemicals to clean the unit. They damage the varnish. Only clean
the unit with a dry cloth.
– Keep away from electronic equipment that may cause interference.
– Only use original spares for repairs, otherwise serious damage and/or
dangerous radiation may occur.
– Switch the unit off prior to unplugging it from the mains and/or other
equipment. Unplug all leads and cables prior to moving the unit.
– Make sure that the mains lead cannot be damaged when people walk on it.
Check the mains lead before every use for damages and faults!
– The mains voltage is 220-240Vac/50Hz. Check if power outlet match. If you
travel, make sure that the mains voltage of the country is suitable for this
unit.
– Keep the original packing material so that you can transport the unit in
safe conditions.
This mark attracts the attention of the user to high voltages that are present
inside the housing and that are of sufficient magnitude to cause a shock
hazard.
⚠ This mark attracts the attention of the user to important instructions that
are contained in the manual and that he should read and adhere to.
The unit has been certified CE. It is prohibited to make any changes to the
unit. They would invalidate the CE certificate and their guarantee!
NOTE: To make sure that the unit will function normally, it must be used in
rooms with a temperature between 5°C/41°F and 35°C/95°F.
Electric products must not be put into household waste. Please bring them to a
recycling centre. Ask your local authorities or your dealer about the way to
proceed. The specifications are typical. The actual values can slightly change
from one unit to the other. Specifications can be changed without prior
notice.
Do not attempt to make any repairs yourself. This would invalid your warranty. Do not make any changes to the unit. This would also invalid your warranty. The warranty is not applicable in case of accidents or damages caused by inappropriate use or disrespect of the warnings contained in this manual. Power Dynamics cannot be held responsible for personal injuries caused by a disrespect of the safety recommendations and warnings. This is also applicable to all damages in whatever form.
UNPACKING INSTRUCTION
CAUTION! Carefully unpack the box upon receipt. Check the contents to ensure that all parts are present and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packaging material if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the package itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the package and all packaging materials. If the product must be returned, it is important that the product is returned in the original factory box and packaging. If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.
OPERATION
The PDS65 is functional both in low impedance-, as well as in 100V/70V use. Use the switch (as pictured below) to set the pendant speaker in the correct working mode. In below case, the pendant speaker is configured to work in 8 Ohm (, low impedance) setup. The terminal block connector is located near the switch.
NOTE: Cabling of a 70/100V system may only be carried out by a qualified electrician! The total load must not exceed the rated power of the amplifier. If the 70/100V system is turned on, turn it off before connecting. Make sure the rotary switch on the speaker is turned to “off” before connecting.
LOW IMPEDANCE
The low impedance mode of the PDS65 has a nominal impedance of 8. If there is the need to connect multiple speakers in parallel, be sure to follow the amplifier’s specifications regarding the minimum allowed impedance. Most amplifiers allow for a minimum of 4 impedance, which translates to two PDS65 speakers connected in parallel.
- Both left and right amplifier output channels can be used in above case.
70/100 VOLT
Use the rotary switch to configure the desired power tap when using the PDS65 in 70/100V configuration (5W, 10W, 20W, 40W for 100V and 2.5W, 5W, 10W, 20W for 70V).
Make sure you are using a powerful enough amplifier for your setup of PDS65 speakers. It is recommended to have about 20% of reserve power. In below case (100V), you will need at least roughly 140W of amplifier power ((40+40+40) x 1.2 =144W).
MOUNTING
The PDS65 pendant speaker can be suspended, as well as mounted on (for example) a wall. Before installing, please make sure that the surface to which you are mounting the speaker, has sufficient load-bearing capacity. For illustrated instructions on how to mount both suspended and (wall)mounted, please refer to final pages of this manual.
