SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The HyperSpike®HS-18 RAHD uses high operating voltages and sound levels. The primary safety
risks are: 1) electrical shock and 2) hearing damage or loss. Only properly-trained personnel
should operate the HS-18 RAHD and abide bythe critical safety warnings identified in this manual to
prevent injury or death during operation.
Additional Electrical Safety Measures
Following these basic safety measures will prevent dangerous or potentially deadly situations from
arising :
Inspect the power cable for damage before each use.
Keep the power cable away from heated surfaces.
Never remove the power cable from an outlet by pullingon the cord.
Never override any of the HS-18 RAHD’s electrical safety features.
Sound Safety Measures
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recognizes 120 dB as the
threshold of pain for unprotected hearing. Operators should wear hearing protection and ensure
that personnelare not directlyin front of the device, at close range, when the power is ON.
WARNING:
LIFE-THREATENING ELECTRIC SHOCK BY ELECTROCUTION.
100 - 250 VAC IS PRESENT WHEN ENERGIZED.
Always plug the unit into properly-grounded electrical outlets.
Never allow any part of the system to sit in pooled water, or to be immersed in water.
Do not operate the device if the power cable is pinched, frayed, or cut.
WARNING:
TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE MAY OCCUR.
HIGH LEVEL OF SOUND CAN BE EMITTED.
Always wear hearing protection according to OSHA’s hearing conservation program.
Operators must remain behind the HS-18 RAHD during operation.

3. RAHD and Electronics Assembly Setup
3.1.RAHD Installation and Mounting
Set the Pan Tilt Unit (PTU) upright on a flat, stable surface. Set the emitter half on top of the
PTU. Make sure the front of the emitter agrees with the “FRONT” label on the PTU. Install
the four ¼-20 x 1.0 long screws, split lock washers, and flat washer on each side. Tighten
screws until lock washers are fully compressed (approximately 30 in-lbs).
Figure 3: Sound Emitter Head to PTU Assembly
Secure the Sound Emitting Assembly and transformer box (if equipped) to a stable surface.
To maximize water protection, the recommended orientation of the transformer box is with
connectors facing down. Refer to mounting details in Figure 5 and Figure 6.

Ensure that mounting locations account for the cable length available. The standard length
of cable between the emitter and transformer box is five feet. Optional lengths are available
at customer request.
