Planning your installation

The BeoLink Passive kit consist

of these two main parts:

– The BeoLink Passive receiver

(close-up operation panel

and receiver for the remote
control signals).

– The BeoLink Passive amplifier

box.

In the following we have listed

some advice and requirements

for the placement of the Beo-
Link Passive parts:

– Before you start make sure

you have all the necessary
cables, junction boxes,

screws, wall plugs, etc. If in

doubt, please contact your
Bang & Olufsen retailer.

– Do not connect any units in

your system to the mains,
before you have made the
connections.

– The units in the system must

all be placed in a dry place,
i.e. not outdoors (the cables,
however, may very well be
run outdoors).

The BeoLink Passive receiver:

– The receiver is designed to

function within a tempera-
ture range of 0–55°C (32–

130°F). If it is exposed to

higher or lower tempera-
tures, it may block the whole

system.

– Avoid placing the receiver in

direct sunlight or direct arti-

ficial light (e.g. a spotlight),

or near objects generating
electrical noise (e.g. dim-
mers), as this may reduce the

sensitivity of the remote
control receiver.

– The receiver cable supplied

is 5 metres (15'). If you need
a longer cable, you must use a

special low capacity cable.

This cable can be purchased

at you Bang & Olufsen
retailer (part no. 6270668,
length 15 metres – 50
').

– Place the receiver so it can

receive the remote control

signals.

– If the receiver is placed next

to a door and in a suitable
height, you can easily switch
on or off on its close-up
operation panel, when
entering or leaving the room.
Likewise, if it is placed near
your telephone, you can

switch off the speakers while

you are on the phone.

If you have installed more units
throughout the house, make

sure that the remote control
can only activate one receiver
at a time.

Place the amplifier box on a

stable surface, e.g. on a non-
carpeted floor, a shelf, or at the
bottom of a cupboard.

Allow a space of approx. 5 cm

(2") above the amplifier box
for adequate ventilation.
