Important Safety Information
For Electrical safety requirements swimming pools are
divided into 3 zones
Zone A: The pool itself.
Zone B: The strip of land surrounding the pool 2m wide and
to a height of 2.5 above it.
Zone C: A further strip of land outside zone B 1.5m wide and
to a height of 2.5m above it.
Recommended Coomber equipment
We only recommend using our 2070/R and 2100/R portable
public address models, (They should only be used in zones B or C,
as described above and powered by the internal battery only even
if a mains supply is located nearby (because you may not be able
to guarantee the safety of that mains supply!).
Any mains supply should be protected by an RCD (leakage
breaker).
If you want to use mains operated equipment poolside, you must
familiarise yourself with the IEE wiring regulations section 602
which covers “swimming pools”. (the full IEE wiring regulations are
published in the UK as a British Standard BS 7671).
Any local regulations should be observed.
The regulations also show and greatly clarify the zone information.
Bear in mind that it might not be using the equipment–how can
you be sure that other users are familiar with those regulations, or
that they will act upon them!
So for safety we only recommend the use of our 2100/R,
2070/R models in battery mode only in zones B and C.
Do not dangle the speakers in the
water in such a way as to leave the
cable taut
Two things may happen.
Firstly the speaker plug might get pulled from the
socket, damaging the plug or the socket and
causing the speaker to sink to the bottom of the
pool.
Secondly, if the cable is stretched taut at the pool
edge then someone may trip over it. Remember
pool sides are often slippery and usually hard.
Placement in the pool area
It makes sense to have the PA as far as reasonable
from the pool edge and have it operated by an
observer, not a participant.
Even though we can protect parts of the PA using
silicon lubricants (if required); water dripping from
hands or wet hair will obviously increase the
chances of damaging components and circuits.
Always apply care and common sense when
handling the equipment.
