Power-Cord Protection: Power-supply cords should
be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying
particular attention to cords where they enter a plug, or
exit from the unit.
Lightning: For added protection for the unit during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect from other devices. This will prevent damage
to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.
Overloading: Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry: Never push objects of any
kind into the unit through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could
result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the unit.
Servicing: Do not attempt to service the unit yourself
as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
Damage Requiring Service: Unplug the unit from the wall
outlet and refer servicing to qualified personnel under the
following conditions:
• When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into
the unit,
• If the unit has been exposed to rain or water,
• If the unit does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions,
• If the unit has been dropped or damaged in any way.
• When the unit exhibits a distinct change in
performance– this indicates a need for service.
Replacement Parts: When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician uses replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer or which have the
same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
Heat: The unit should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other units
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
The lightning flash with arrowhead within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence
of an uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure, that may be of sufficient magnitude to

Introduction
Systemline E50 is an installed Bluetooth Hi-Fi system that is easy to fit into your room.
It is particularly suited to kitchens or bedrooms but could equally be used in any other
room in the house including bathrooms*.
The following instructions assume that you are competent in general electrical
installation skills. You will need to mount a touch panel into a double gang back box
and route cables from this box to the speakers and mains. If you are not confident in
doing this you should seek professional assistance from a qualified electrician.
It is possible to connect TV sound or another device into the rear line input. This is
shown on the system schematic.
* The E50w (white) touch panel is IP54 rated when installed and sealed in accordance with the E50w
bathroom installation guide (Appendix 1). The touch panel must be located outside zone 2 of the electrical
safety zones. If in doubt, you are advised to seek assistance from a qualified electrician.

Planning E50 Positioning and Back Box Locations
Use the guidelines below to plan the positioning of the back boxes, speakers and
cabling. Dimensions should be checked prior to installation to ensure the layout works
correctly with the supplied lengths of cable.

8
First Fix Wiring
Cut holes for required back boxes and speakers. Run speaker cables and power cable as
shown, leaving the tails accessible for second fix. Optional line-in cable may be run at
this point.
Notes
1. Switched mains socket required next to cable break-out box.
2. Single gang back-box required next to TV aerial point for optional TV sound / AUX
input.

9
Second Fix
Connect cable tails to touch panel, speakers and PSU. Fix items in place, using the
instructions supplied with the speakers to ensure correct speaker installation.
Notes
1. Blanking plate required to cover break-out box - requires a single hole to exit DC
cable.
2. Optional TV sound / Aux input requires a 25 x 50mm twin phono Euro module e.g.
Philex EMSPK2W or similar.

Appendix 1: E50w Bathroom Installation Guide
E50w is designed to be fitted into a bathroom environment, which is clearly different
to most other rooms in the home. The nature of this wet environment is recognised by
the respective standards authorities, who test products in terms of their suitability to
be installed in such areas.
E50w complies with IP54, subject to the following conditions:
1. Wiring
This is defined as an Extra Low Voltage Installation, but the wiring needs to be installed
in accordance with ‘Part P’ of the Design and Installation of Electrical Installations. If in
doubt, you are advised to seek assistance from a qualified electrician.
2. Location
Please refer to the diagram below. The E50w should be installed outside of areas
designated as zone 1 & 2.

11
3. Installation
Step 1
Apply silicone sealant on the back of the
frame.
Step 3
Plug cables into keypad and fit into the
frame.
Step 4
Secure the front using the screw provided
and smooth out the edges using a sealant
smoother.
Step 2
Fit the frame onto the back box and
secure using 2 screws.
All other instructions for the connection and fitting of E50w apply, except in this instance
the left & right speaker wires are connected to a single stereo Q Install speaker
(Qi-65 CW-ST). See also instructions supplied with this speaker.
