Acoustical Performance
Loudspeakers should be individually checked by an
experienced sound system professional to verify that all
drivers are operational.
Please contact the system installer or EAW for further
assistance or guidance with testing.
Structural Integrity
Loudspeakers should be periodically examined for signs of
physical damage. Specifically, the following should be
checked:
• Damage to loudspeaker due to vandalism.
• Deterioration of mounting hardware due to rust or
corrosion.
• Damage to weather-protection features due to
improper installation or maintenance.
• Any other deterioration of the loudspeaker system
including loosening of parts, accessories or attachments
which could fall or cause injury.
Failure of any type should be immediately reported to the
system installer or Eastern Acoustic Works Service Department.
If you need assistance, please contact Eastern Acoustic Works
Service Department at 1-800-992-5013. We will be happy to
provide more detailed information on testing, maintenance,
installation, or any other aspect of your loudspeaker system.

Access Hatches
Hatches that are removed for any reason must be replaced
and sealed with a non-hardening, waterproof, UV-stable
sealant suitable for use over the temperature range typical
for your geographical location. Sealant must be compatible
with the surface being sealed to ensure proper adhesion.
Hardware used to secure hatches must be sealed with a
non-hardening, non-locking thread sealant.
Input Cover Plates
All cover plates must be in place after connections to the
loudspeaker system have been made. Conduit should be
connected to cover plates using waterproof fittings. Bolts
securing cover plates must be sealed with a non-hardening,
non-locking thread sealant.
Drivers/Transducers
EAW drivers/transducers intended for use in Weather-
Protected systems are designed specifically for outdoor
applications. Failed units should only be repaired/replaced
with factory-authorized parts. When contacting the EAW
Service Department, be sure to notify service personnel that
the replacement part is for use in a Weather-Protected system.
Routine Inspection
While installed, loudspeakers should be periodically exam-
ined and tested to maintain performance and safety. Two
