IRIS – Safety and Environment
Humidity / heat sources
• Never expose the equipment to rain or a high level of humidity. For this reason do not install it in
the immediate vicinity of swimming pools, showers, damp basement rooms or other areas with
unusually high atmospheric humidity.
• Never place objects containing liquid (e.g. vases or drinking glasses) on the equipment. Liquids in the
equipment could cause a short circuit.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Connection
• The equipment must be connected to a mains socket that has an earth contact.
• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
• Lay all connection cables so that they do not present a trip hazard.
• Whenever working on the equipment switch off all inputs and outputs to the power supply.
• Check whether the connection figures comply with the existing mains supply. Serious damage could
occur due to connecting the system to the wrong power supply. An incorrect mains voltage could
damage the equipment or cause an electric shock.
• Please note that different operating voltages require the use of different types of power cable and
plugs.
Please refer to the following table:
Voltage Power plug according to standard
110 - 125 V UL817 and CSA C 22.2 no 42.
220 - 230 V CEE 7 page VII, SR section 107-2-D1/IEC 83 page C4.
240 V BS 1363 (1984): "Specification for 13A fused plugs and
switched and un-switched socket outlets."
• If the equipment causes a blown fuse or a short circuit, disconnect it from the mains and have it
checked and repaired.
• Do not hold the mains cable with wet hands. There must be no water or dust on the contact pins.
In both cases you could receive an electric shock.
• The mains cable must be firmly connected. If it is loose there is a fire hazard.
• Always pull out the mains cable from the mains and/or from the equipment by the plug – never by
the cable. The cable could be damaged and cause an electric shock or fire.
• Do not use the equipment if the mains plug is damaged.
• If you connect defective or unsuitable accessories, the equipment could be damaged. Only use
connection cables available from or recommended by beyerdynamic. If you use cables you have
made up yourself, all claim to warranty is null and void.
Maintenance
• Only clean the equipment with a slightly damp or dry cloth. Never use solvents as these damage the
surface.
Troube shooting and servicing
• Do not open the equipment without authorisation. You could receive an electric shock. There are
no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Leave all service work to authorised expert personnel.
