Installation and Setup

Safety Instructions for Installation

WARNING
Incorrect installation can cause serious injuries and damage of property.

• Make sure that the ceiling or the overhead structure can hold the weight of the device.
• Make sure that the installation location on the ceiling is free of any obstructions and the speaker cables do not come in contact with other objects.

Installation Site Requirements

• The device can be installed on a ceiling or suspended on an overhead structure.
• The device can be installed indoors and outdoors. Make sure that the device is not exposed to conditions that exceed the rated IP class conditions.
• The device must be installed away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause discoloring of the enclosure.

Selecting Line Transformer Taps

• The device has multiple selectable line transformer taps.
• Turn the line transformer tap selector (04) to select a line transformer tap. The available line transformer taps are:

Note: The line transformer tap values depend on the type of amplifier connected to the PA system.

• For a 70 V amplifier, the line transformer taps are: 1,87 W / 3,75 W / 7,5 W / 15 W.
• For a 100 V amplifier, the line transformer taps are: 3,75 W / 7,5 W / 15 W / 30 W.
• For a conventional amplifier, use only the “8 Ω” line transformer tap.

The higher the wattage setting, the higher the volume level of the device.

Mounting and Setup

CAUTION: Restrict the access under the work area during installation and/or deinstallation.

To install the device, follow the steps below:

1. Put the speaker cables through the opening in the speaker cover (02) (Fig. 06).  Fig. 06
2. Connect the speaker cables to the device (Fig. 07). See 4.5. Connecting to Amplifier on pages 12–14 for more information.
3. Use the 2 supplied screws to attach the supplied cable bracket to the device. The cable bracket keeps the cables in place (Fig. 08).
4. Put the speaker cover (02) on the top of the device (Fig. 09).
5. Insert the suspension eyelet (01) into the suspension eyelet threaded opening (05) and tighten it (Fig. 10).
6. Fasten the supplied suspension cable to the suspension eyelet (01).

Connecting to Amplifier
Attention Speaker load

• Before connecting the amplifier to the power supply, make sure that the total load of all connected speakers is below the maximum rating of the amplifier. If the total load is higher, it may cause damage to the amplifier and to the speakers.
• The total load depends also on the current line transformer tap setting. See 4.3. Selecting Line Transformer Taps on page 9 for more information.

To determine if the settings are correct:

1. Add up the wattage settings of all connected speakers.
2. Compare the value with the maximum rating of the amplifier. If necessary, disconnect speaker(s).

Connect the device to a 70/100 V amplifier or to a conventional amplifier. You can also connect multiple speakers to each other.

Connecting to a 70/100 V Amplifier
To use the device with a 70/100 V amplifier, follow the steps below:
