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.
