this product to rain or humidity.
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
All the precautions, in particular the safety ones, must be read with
special attention, as they provide important information.
2. POWER SUPPLY FROM MAINS (direct connection)
a. The mains voltage is sufficiently high to involve a risk of electrocution;
therefore, never install or connect this product when its power cable
is plugged in.
b. Before powering up, make sure that all the connections have been
made correctly and the voltage of your mains corresponds to the
voltage shown on the rating plate on the unit, if not, please contact
your RCF dealer.
c. The metallic parts of the unit are earthed by means of the power
cable.
d. Protect the power cable from damage.
e. To prevent the risk of electric shock, never open the product: there
are no parts inside that the user needs to access.
3. Make sure that no objects or liquids can get into this product, as
this may cause a short circuit. This apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing. No objects filled with liquid, such as vases, shall
be placed on this apparatus. No naked sources (such as lighted candles)
should be placed on this apparatus.
4. Never attempt to carry out any operations, modifications or repairs
that are not expressly described in this manual. Contact your authorized
service centre or qualified personnel should any of the following
occur:
- The product does not function (or functions in an anomalous way).
- The power supply cable has been damaged.

5. If this product is not used for a long period, disconnect the power
cable.
6. If this product begins emitting any strange odours or smoke, switch it
off immediately and disconnect the power supply cable.
7. Do not connect this product to any equipment or accessories not
foreseen. For suspended installation, only use the dedicated anchoring
points and do not try to hang this product by using elements that are
unsuitable or not specific for this purpose.Also check the suitability of the
support surface to which the product is anchored (wall,ceiling, structure,
etc.), and the components used for attachment (screw anchors, screws,
brackets not supplied by RCF etc.), which must guarantee the security
of the system / installation over time, also considering, for example, the
mechanical vibrations normally generated by transducers.To prevent the
risk of falling equipment, do not stack multiple units of this product
unless this possibility is specified in the user manual.
8. RCF S.p.A. strongly recommends this product is only installed
by professional qualified installers (or specialised firms) who
can ensure correct installation and certify it according to the
regulations in force.The entire audio system must comply with
the current standards and regulations regarding electrical
systems.
9. Supports and trolleys
The equipment should be only used on trolleys or supports, where
necessary, that are recommended by the manufacturer. The equipment
/ support / trolley assembly must be moved with extreme caution.
Sudden stops, excessive pushing force and uneven floors may cause the
assembly to overturn.
10. There are numerous mechanical and electrical factors to be
considered when installing a professional audio system (in addition
to those which are strictly acoustic, such as sound pressure, angles of
coverage, frequency response, etc.).
11. Hearing loss
Exposure to high sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. The
acoustic pressure level that leads to hearing loss is different from
person to person and depends on the duration of exposure. To prevent
potentially dangerous exposure to high levels of acoustic pressure,
anyone who is exposed to these levels should use adequate protection
devices. When a transducer capable of producing high sound levels is
being used, it is therefore necessary to wear ear plugs or protective
earphones. See the technical specifications in loudspeaker instruction
manuals to know their maximum sound pressure levels.

IMPORTANT NOTES
To prevent the occurrence of noise on microphone / line signal cables,
use screened cables only and avoid putting them close to:
- Equipment that produces high-intensity electromagnetic fields (for
example, high power transformers).
- Mains cables.
- Loudspeaker lines.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
- Never force the control elements (keys, knobs, etc. ).
- Do not use solvents, alcohol,benzene or other volatile substances for
cleaning the external parts of this product.

ENGLISH
RDNET CONTROL 2 is an hardware interface to connect RCF RDNET
compatible devices to a Personal Computer (PC) by means of an USB
connection.
The RDNET system was purposely developed to create a data network
for monitoring and command of more systems. The RDNET CONTROL 2
unit can manage up to 2 subnets. Up to 32 devices can be connected
to each subnet (2 subnets x 32 = total 64 devices).
The addressing of the various devices is handled automatically by
RDNET CONTROL 2 interface. Each device is assigned a unique address
during the power on procedure of network.
For the RDNET network operating, it is necessary to install the
appropriate Software on PC, on Microsoft Windows® environment.
From PC it is possible to check the operating of each single device
connected to the network and edit its parameters output level, mute,
equalization, delay, etc.
The network and devices configuration can be saved as file in the PC
and later reloaded. RDNET is a “real-time” system: Information relating
to the functioning of the devices is acquired in real-time, a feature that
allows a global view of connected devices.
For the correct working of USB (1.1 o 2.0) communication between
PC and RDNET CONTROL2 it is recommended to use the USB cable
supplied.
