The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

WARNING (If applicable): The terminals marked with the symbol of “ ”may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. The external wiring connected to the terminals requires installation by an instructed person or the use of ready-made leads or cords.
WARNING: To prevent fire or shock hazards, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture.
WARNING: An apparatus with Class I construction shall be connected to a mains socket-outlet with a protective earthing connection.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

  1.  Read these instructions.
  2. Keep these instructions.
  3. Heed all warnings.
  4.  Follow all instructions.
  5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
  6.  Clean only with a dry cloth.
  7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
  8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
  9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.
  10.  Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at the plugs, convenience receptacles, and at the point where they exit from the apparatus.
  11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
  12.  Unplug the apparatus during lightning sorts or when unused for long periods of time.
  13.  Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as a power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
  14. Disconnecting from mains: When switching off the POWER switch, all the functions and light indicators of the unit will be stopped, but fully disconnecting the device from the mains is done by unplugging the power cable from the mains input socket. For this reason, it always shall remain easily accessible.
  15.  Equipment is connected to a socket-outlet with earthing connection by means of a power cord.
  16.  The marking information is located at the bottom of the unit.
  17.  The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

INTRODUCTION

ECLER IC6CLASS-TR is a high and low impedance 2-way loudspeaker that integrates a very careful and efficient selection of components (6″ woofer + 1″ tweeter), together with a mechanical design that provides high-quality audio (“Hi-Fidelity” profile sound) and a very fast installation process, just using a basic set of tools.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS:

  • 2-way loudspeaker, 75 WRMS
  • 16 Ω impedance, allowing for multiple units connected in parallel to a standard audio amplifier
  • High impedance built-in transformer, allowing for multiple units connected in parallel to a 70V / 100V line audio amplifier (5 different power tappings available)
  • 16 Ω or high impedance power selection accessible from the front panel, once the loudspeaker is already installed in the ceiling
  • 6″ Kevlar® woofer
  • 1″ Silk dome (ACCW) tweeter
  • Aluminum front grill
  • Available in white (RAL 9003)
  • Fast installation procedure using a basic set of tools

LOCATION, ASSEMBLY, AND CONNECTIONS

For proper product installation, circular holes must be made in selected places and the appropriate wiring must be prepared for each unit.
Here are the steps to follow for proper installation:

  1. Make the mounting hole in the drop ceiling, after marking its outline with the supplied cutting template

  2.  Strip and connect the two wires of the speaker cable end to the supplied loose Euroblock terminal, respecting the polarity between the speaker (IN + and -), the other speakers of the system, and the amplifier feeding them. Insert the loose Euroblock connector of the cable into the IN Euroblock terminal of the speaker.

  3. Insert the speaker’s frame into the hole, taking care that the 3 revolving fasteners remain in the retracted position

  4.  Tighten each of the 3 screws accessible from the front of the unit. The revolving fasteners rotate and at the end of the tightening, the frame is fixed at its final position
    NOTE: In most cases, the electro-acoustical response of a ceiling/wall speaker like the IC6CLASS-TR will be better if it is installed in a ceiling or on a wall made of low-porosity materials and without the rear cover. The response in the low-frequency range will be especially affected since these types of ceilings act as baffles” or mechanical loudspeaker enclosures.

  5. Using a flat screwdriver, set one of the following taps with the power selector on the front of the speaker:
    | Connection to a 70V line| Connection to a 100V line
    ---|---|---
    Tap #1| 16 Ω – 75 W| 16 Ω – 75W
    ap #2| 1,5 W| 3 W
    Tap #3| 3,7 W| 7,5 W
    Tap #4| 7,5 W| 15 W
    Tap #5| 10 W| 20 W
    Tap #6| 15 W| 30 W

  6. Test the operation by powering up the sound system.

  7. Finally, install the grill on the speaker frame and turn it slightly so that the revolving fasteners of the frame and the grille are fitted together. During assembly, hold the grate by the edges (not the perforated, center part) to avoid damaging it.

PAINT

IC6CLASS-TR is ready to be painted and thus can match any cosmetic criteria of the environment in which it is installed.
Once the installation is complete, the front grill is the only visible part of the unit, simply paint it to get the desired result. Paint it carefully, avoiding excess paint from clogging the small holes in its central area.
