General Safety Precautions
CA U T I O N
These Safety Precautions apply to assembled systems, however
they may not all be applicable to every item within that system.
Failure to follow these instructions and guidelines may cause
personal injury and/or damage to the equipment.
WA R N I N G
This equipment is intended for continuous operation and as such
should be permanently connected to the mains supply.
This unit does not contain an external mains switch.
For servicing, an all-pole Switch / Circuit Breaker with a
separation of 3 mm in each pole should be incorporated in the
electrical supply spur feeding the unit, and this must be suitably
marked to prevent inadvertent or accidental usage.
WA R N I N G
Always ensure that this equipment is correctly earthed by
connection to an AC mains supply with a protective earth
connection.
WA R N I N G
Voltages in excess of 35V RMS AC are considered Hazardous
and in certain circumstances can be lethal.
This product contains wiring and terminations that are energised
to 230V RMS AC mains & 100V RMS AC audio signals.
WA R N I N G
If Functional Testing, Maintenance, or Repair is to be completed
with the Mains Power (and/or battery backup) connected then
this should only be undertaken by personnel who are fully aware
of the danger involved and who have taken adequate precautions
and training.
Terminals marked with the "High Voltage" symbol are
considered hazardous and the external wiring connected to
these terminals requires installation by suitably trained
personnel.

Supply is disconnected Hazardous voltages will still be accessible
on the terminals marked with the "High Voltage" symbol.
WA R N I N G
The 24V DC batteries used within this system can deliver
extremely high currents that can cause fire or burns.
Care should be taken to ensure tools or jewellery etc. are
prevented from causing a Short Circuit.
WA R N I N G
Batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as
sunshine, fire or the like.
WA R N I N G

BVECASE5 Mounting Holes and Knockout Positions
Note: The BVECASE5 has been designed to allow cable entry from the top (via knockouts) or via the
removable access plate in the rear panel.
There is no requirement for ventilation or space either side of the installed position as all terminations can
be accessed and maintenance operations can be performed from the front of the unit.

BVECASE5BATT Mounting Holes
Note: Ensure the internal battery mounting plinth is fitted to the base of the BVECASE5BATT before
installing the batteries.
Note: The Adjustable feet should be set to ensure the BVECASE5BATT is flat and level to allow the
BVECASE5 to be installed directly above it.
Once in position the optional plinth base shroud can be fitted around the bottom edge of the
BVECASE5BATT.
