Un bon manuel d’utilisation

Les règles imposent au revendeur l'obligation de fournir à l'acheteur, avec des marchandises, le manuel d’utilisation QSC CX Series. Le manque du manuel d’utilisation ou les informations incorrectes fournies au consommateur sont à la base d'une plainte pour non-conformité du dispositif avec le contrat. Conformément à la loi, l’inclusion du manuel d’utilisation sous une forme autre que le papier est autorisée, ce qui est souvent utilisé récemment, en incluant la forme graphique ou électronique du manuel QSC CX Series ou les vidéos d'instruction pour les utilisateurs. La condition est son caractère lisible et compréhensible.

Qu'est ce que le manuel d’utilisation?

Le mot vient du latin "Instructio", à savoir organiser. Ainsi, le manuel d’utilisation QSC CX Series décrit les étapes de la procédure. Le but du manuel d’utilisation est d’instruire, de faciliter le démarrage, l'utilisation de l'équipement ou l'exécution des actions spécifiques. Le manuel d’utilisation est une collection d'informations sur l'objet/service, une indice.

Malheureusement, peu d'utilisateurs prennent le temps de lire le manuel d’utilisation, et un bon manuel permet non seulement d’apprendre à connaître un certain nombre de fonctionnalités supplémentaires du dispositif acheté, mais aussi éviter la majorité des défaillances.

Donc, ce qui devrait contenir le manuel parfait?

Tout d'abord, le manuel d’utilisation QSC CX Series devrait contenir:
- informations sur les caractéristiques techniques du dispositif QSC CX Series
- nom du fabricant et année de fabrication QSC CX Series
- instructions d'utilisation, de réglage et d’entretien de l'équipement QSC CX Series
- signes de sécurité et attestations confirmant la conformité avec les normes pertinentes

Pourquoi nous ne lisons pas les manuels d’utilisation?

Habituellement, cela est dû au manque de temps et de certitude quant à la fonctionnalité spécifique de l'équipement acheté. Malheureusement, la connexion et le démarrage QSC CX Series ne suffisent pas. Le manuel d’utilisation contient un certain nombre de lignes directrices concernant les fonctionnalités spécifiques, la sécurité, les méthodes d'entretien (même les moyens qui doivent être utilisés), les défauts possibles QSC CX Series et les moyens de résoudre des problèmes communs lors de l'utilisation. Enfin, le manuel contient les coordonnées du service QSC en l'absence de l'efficacité des solutions proposées. Actuellement, les manuels d’utilisation sous la forme d'animations intéressantes et de vidéos pédagogiques qui sont meilleurs que la brochure, sont très populaires. Ce type de manuel permet à l'utilisateur de voir toute la vidéo d'instruction sans sauter les spécifications et les descriptions techniques compliquées QSC CX Series, comme c’est le cas pour la version papier.

Pourquoi lire le manuel d’utilisation?

Tout d'abord, il contient la réponse sur la structure, les possibilités du dispositif QSC CX Series, l'utilisation de divers accessoires et une gamme d'informations pour profiter pleinement de toutes les fonctionnalités et commodités.

Après un achat réussi de l’équipement/dispositif, prenez un moment pour vous familiariser avec toutes les parties du manuel d'utilisation QSC CX Series. À l'heure actuelle, ils sont soigneusement préparés et traduits pour qu'ils soient non seulement compréhensibles pour les utilisateurs, mais pour qu’ils remplissent leur fonction de base de l'information et d’aide.

    3 I. Warning Notices SPEAKER DAMAGE The CX Series amplifiers are among the most powerful professional amplifiers available and are capable of producing much more power than many loudspeakers can handle.

    4 II. Overall Description The CX Series from QSC comprises six high-efficiency professional power amplifier models, each with two independent channels. The table below lists the range’s audio power ratings. Each channel has its own power transformer secondary. The CX4, CX4T, CX6 and CX6T utilize complementary Class AB linear output circuitry.

    10 • If the fan is not running at full speed, or the channel does not reset to normal after a cool-down period, the muting is probably because of a DC fault or other amplifier failure, especially if the “ SIGNAL ” or “ CLIP ” indicators are lit even with the attenuator turned all the way down.

    13 MAXIMUM LONG-TERM OUTPUT POWER In a properly designed sound system, you can obtain the desired sound level without using the full output power of the amplifier; if the “ CLIP ” indicators flash once in a while, that is perfectly normal.

    14 HEAT EMISSIONS Essentially, a power amplifier draws electrical energy from the AC mains, converts it to DC, and then converts it again into an analog of the input signal to send out to the loudspeakers. Any AC power that enters the amplifier through the power cord and does not exit through the speaker outputs turns into heat, which the amplifier[...]

    15 PROTECTION CIRCUITS The design goal in high-efficiency amplifiers such as the CX Series is to increase the amplifier ’ s ability to deliver peak power without increasing its size, weight, and cost. However, the higher power flow through the output components makes effective, responsive protection circuitry absolutely vital. To this end, the de[...]

    23 EXAMPLE A loudspeaker (sensitivity: 94 dB @ 1W, 1 meter) in a busy office covers an area with an ambient noise of 72 dBA, measured at a seated person ’ s ear position at the desks.

    24 USING COMPONENTS WITH DIFFERENT VOLTAGES Sometimes it may be practical to use a transformer or loudspeaker/transformer combination with a different voltage system from what it was originally intended. For example, a 70-volt transformer could be used in a 25- volt system, although you would have to derate the power taps similarly. Never use a tra[...]

    25 X. How Many Speakers? How many loudspeakers can you connect to the distributed line? The amplifier itself determines the amount of audio power available to the line, and from that figure you must compensate for insertion loss in the speaker transformers and for headroom when you determine how much power is available for the speakers. For example[...]

    26 XI. Other Design Considerations SPEAKER TRANSFORMER SATURATION Speaker transformers tend to be fairly small, and some vary widely in quality. They tend, therefore, to be prone to core saturation at low frequencies. Saturation occurs when the magnetic field induced in the transformer ’ s iron core by the audio signal waveform has built up as hi[...]

An alternate method is to attach an 8-ohm speaker across the 25-volt outputs. This provides up to approximately 80 watts to the speaker and makes more power available to the 70V or 100V connections: up to 75 wa[...]
