MONACOR ESP-215 WS PA Speaker System
PA Speaker System for 100 V Operation or 8 Ω Operation
These instructions are intended for installers with sufficient knowledge in
100 V technology for PA applications. Please read the instructions carefully
prior to installation and keep them for later reference.
Applications
This speaker system for wall mounting is especially designed for applications in PA systems. It is equipped with a transformer for operation in 100 V systems, but it can also directly be connected to a low-impedance amplifier output. The connected load is matched via a rotary switch. As a 2-way system, the speaker system can be used for speech and music reproduction. Due to its weatherproof cabinet (IP 65), it is also suitable for outdoor use.
Important Notes
The speaker system corresponds to all relevant directives of the EU and is therefore marked with .
- Protect the speaker system against extremely high and low temperatures (admissible ambient temperature range −30 °C to +50 °C).
- For cleaning only use a soft cloth, dry or slightly damp; never use chemicals or aggressive detergents.
- No guarantee claims for the speaker system and no liability for any resulting personal damage or material damage will be accepted if the speaker system is used for other purposes than originally intended, if it is not expertly mounted or correctly connected, or if it is overloaded.
If the speaker system is to be put out of operation definitively, take it to a local recycling plant or a disposal which is not harmful to the environment
Mounting
Use the mounting bracket to screw the speaker to a suitable place on the wall or ceiling. To adjust the speaker, release the locking screws of the bracket, turn the speaker accordingly, then retighten the screws.
Installation
WARNING During operation in 100 V systems, there is a hazard of contact with a voltage of up to 100 V at the speaker cable. The installation must be made by skilled personnel only. Observe the load of the PA amplifier by the speakers. An overload may damage the amplifier! The total power of all speakers connected must not exceed the amplifier power
-
Before installing the speaker system, switch off the PA amplifier completely so that the speaker cable will not carry any voltage!
-
Use a screwdriver to adjust the desired rated power for 100 V operation at the rotary switch (a) or select the position “8 Ω” for directly operating the speaker at a low-impedance amplifier output.
(Set the switch to the left stop, then turn it back for the corresponding number of lock-in positions according to the marking.)
CAUTION! Never use the speaker in a 100 V system when the position “8 Ω” has been selected. The speaker and possibly the amplifier will be damaged. -
Remove the protecting cap from the terminals (b) and guide the cable through the hole in the protecting cap. Connect the cable to the terminals and replace the protecting cap. When connecting multiple speakers, make sure that all speakers have the same polarity and that the PA amplifier will not be overloaded.
-
Align the speaker system in an optimum way to the speaker zone.
