D. TESTING/OPERATING.
WARNING
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. Recommendations in the OSHA Sound
Level Standard (29 CFR 1910) should
not be exceeded.
1. After installation is complete, be sure to test the system to verify that each speaker operates
satisfactorily. Reinstall the housing cover.
WARNING
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 (all eight bolts fully tightened) while
