NOMENCLATURE AND DIMENSIONS

INSTALLATION

A dust cover is pre-mounted on the rear of the speaker at the factory. Pay attention not to accidentally take it off during speaker installation.

The F-2352SC ceiling speaker can be mounted in 6 different configurations:

• Direct mounting to a strong ceiling panel
  No additional hardware required.

• Direct mounting to a weak ceiling panel
  Use the optional HY-RR2 Reinforcement Ring.

• Mounting to a ceiling frame
  Use the optional HY-RR2 in conjunction with the optional HY-TB1 Tile Bar Bridge.

• Ceiling mounting in a larger than specified hole
  Use the optional HY-RR2 in conjunction with the optional HY-TR1 Trim Ring.

• Mounting to an anchor bolt
  Use the optional HY-RR2 in conjunction with the optional HY-AH1 Anchor Hanging Bracket.

• Hanging from a ceiling suspension pipe (exposed installation)
  Use the optional HY-BC1 Back Can.

Mount the speaker using the most appropriate method for the ceiling panel or installation location.

1. Step 1. Cut a ø200 mm (7 7 /8″) hole in the ceiling. Use the supplied paper pattern to position and trace the hole.

2. Step 2. Mount fittings to a ceiling or hanging pipe. Tip: Skip this step when the ceiling is strong (no additional hardware needed).

   • Direct mounting to a weak ceiling panel
     Fold the optional HY-RR2 Reinforcement Ring in half* and insert it through the mounting hole in the ceiling panel, then open it with its tabs facing up. Place the ring on the ceiling panel aligning it with the mounting hole. The HY-RR2 is too large to be inserted into the mounting hole unless folded.

   • Mounting to a ceiling frame
     Use the optional HY-RR2 Reinforcement Ring in conjunction with the optional HY-TB1 Tile Bar Bridge.
     Note: Refer to the instruction manual included with the HY-TB1 for the correct ceiling mounting procedure.

   • Ceiling mounting in a larger than specified hole
     Use the optional HY-RR2 Reinforcement Ring in conjunction with the optional HY-TR1 Trim Ring.
     Note : Refer to the instruction manual included with the HY-TR1 for the correct ceiling mounting procedure.

   • Mounting to an anchor bolt
     Use the optional HY-RR2 Reinforcement Ring in conjunction with the optional HY-AH1 Anchor Hanging Bracket.
     Note: Refer to the instruction manual included with the HY-AH1 for the correct mounting procedure.

   • Hanging from a ceiling suspension pipe (exposed installation)
     Use the optional HY-BC1 Back Can.
     Note: Refer to the instruction manual included with the HY-BC1 for Back Can installation.

3. Step 3. Connect the speaker cable to the push-in terminal.
   Tip: Use the 600 V vinyl-insulated cable (IV or HIV wire).
   The following matching cable types are recommended:

   • Solid copper wire: ø0.8 – ø1.6 mm (equivalent to AWG 20 – 15)
   • Stranded copper wire: 0.75 – 1.25 mm2 (equivalent to AWG 18 – 17) Press fully down on the corresponding terminal button and insert the cable.
     Tip: To detach the cable, press fully down on the terminal button again, then pull the cable.

4. Step 4. Mount the speaker.

5. Flush ceiling mounting (in the cases except for Step 2-5)
   Insert the speaker through the mounting hole till it contacts the ceiling panel. While doing so, avoid directly touching the speaker’s diaphragm and diffuser section. Rotate and tighten the mounting tab axis screws (3 places) on the unit clockwise to their full stop in order to grip the ceiling panel with the mounting tabs

6. Exposed mounting (in the case of Step 2-5)
   Use the optional HY-BC1 Back Can. To mount, follow Step 4-1

7. Step 5. Set the input power.
   Turn the input selector switch (on the unit’s front) to set it to the desired input impedance. (Factory-preset to 1.7 kΩ.)
   Important: Never set this switch to low-impedance (8 Ω or 16 Ω) settings when using a high-impedance 25, 70, or 100 V line. Failure to follow this instruction could result in damage to the speaker or amplifier.

8. Step 6. Attach the front grille.
   Align the tabs (3 places) on the back side of the grille with the corresponding notches in the unit, then rotate the grille to full stop in the direction indicated by the “LOCK” arrow.
   Tip: The front grille employs a double-locking system that clicks into place once partway through rotation, but only locks into position at its point of full rotation. Always be sure to rotate the grille to its full stop.

REMOVING THE SPEAKER FOR MAINTENANCE

Detaching the Front Grille
Turn the front grille counterclockwise to full stop, then lightly pull it downward.

Tip: The front grille employs a double-locking system. If the grille cannot be detached when lightly pulled downward, it likely has not yet been fully rotated back to the detachment position. In such cases, take care to rotate the grill fully counterclockwise in order to release the lock.

Removing the Speaker
Rotate the 3 mounting tab axis screws counterclockwise. The mounting tabs rise as they turn, allowing the speaker to be removed.
Caution: When loosening the mounting tab axis screws, support the speaker by hand to prevent it from falling.

REPAINTING THE SPEAKER

Follow the procedure below when repainting the front grille:

1. Step 1. Clean the front grille before painting.
   Wipe with a soft cloth dampened in a detergent.
   Caution: Do not use thinner or other volatile liquids to clean the grille.

2. Step 2. Spray on a uniform, thin coat of paint.
   Cautions

   • Avoid painting with a roller or brush, as the grille mesh holes could become clogged with paint.
   • Use appropriate spray paints for the front grille (grille and frame) materials. Grille: Rolled steel plate Frame: Fire-resistant ABS resin (acrylic paint)
   • Be sure to follow the directions indicated on the paint when painting.

3. Step 3. After the paint has dried, apply another light coat.
   Caution: Repeating Step 2, apply two or more light coats of paint. Application of one thick coat of paint all at once may cause drips or unevenness to show up in the painted finish, or clog the mesh holes.
