INSTALLATION

The F-2322C and F-2352C ceiling speakers can be mounted in 5 different configurations:

•  Direct mounting to a ceiling panel
  Use the supplied ceiling reinforcement ring.

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

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

•  Mounting to an anchor bolt
  Use the supplied ceiling reinforcement ring 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.

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

Step 2. Connect the speaker cable to the detachable input connector.
Tip
The following matching cable types are recommended:

• Solid copper wire: ø0.5 – ø1.6 mm (equivalent to AWG 24 – 14)
• Stranded copper wire: 0.2 – 2.5 mm2 (equivalent to AWG 24 – 14)

Remove the detachable input connector from the speaker’s wiring socket, and loosen the screw of the terminal to be used. Insert the stripped cable end into the terminal and tighten the terminal screw with a screwdriver.

Caution
If not making bridge connections, be sure to tighten unused terminal screws to avoid their vibration.

Step 3. Mount fittings to a ceiling or hanging pipe.
3-1. Direct mounting to a ceiling panel Fold the supplied ceiling 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 reinforcement ring is too large to be inserted into the mounting hole unless folded.

Mounting to a ceiling frame
Use the supplied ceiling 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 supplied ceiling 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 supplied ceiling 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.
Notes

• The supplied ceiling reinforcement ring is not used.
• Refer to the instruction manual included with the HY-BC1 for Back Can installation.

Step 4. Attach a safety wire to prevent the speaker from accidentally falling.
To attach, tie one end of the supplied safety wire around the speaker’s safety wire hook, and tie its snap ring around a secure C-channel bar or suspension pipe.

Step 5. Make a speaker cable connection.
Plug the wired detachable input connector into the speaker’s wiring socket.
Fix the speaker cable with the cord clamp.

Step 6. Mount the speaker

Flush ceiling mounting

(in the cases of Steps 3-1, 3-2, 3-3 and 3-4) Insert the speaker through the mounting hole till it contacts the ceiling panel. While doing so, avoid directly touching the speaker element and diffuser section (F-2352C only).

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.

Exposed mounting (in the case of Step 3-5)
Follow Step 6-1 to mount.
Note
The ceiling reinforcement ring supplied with the speaker is not used.

Step 7. Set the input power. Turn the input selector switch (on the unit’s front) to set it to the desired input impedance using a slotted screwdriver.
Note: The switch is factory-preset to 330.

Important
Never set this switch to low impedance (8  or 16 ) 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.

Step 8. 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.

Caution
Be sure to set the screwdriver’s torque for under 4 kgf·cm. Failure to do so may cause the Screw cap and the Mounting tab to fall off on the rear of ceiling panel.

REPAINTING THE SPEAKER

Follow the procedure below when repainting the front grille:

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.
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.
  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.

ABOUT THE INPUT OVERLOAD PROTECTION CIRCUITRY

Both the F-2322C and the F-2352C feature internal input overload protection circuitry. If an extremely high input level is fed to the unit, the protection circuitry automatically cuts off the signal to the speaker element.
A drastic reduction in sound volume indicates that the protection circuitry has been enabled. In such cases, simply reduce the amplifier volume. The protection circuitry will automatically reset in approximately 10 seconds. After reset, try to maintain the volume at a level slightly lower than before.
Caution
This protection circuitry does not completely protect the unit against extremely high input power levels. Depending on the type or duration of excessive power input, the protection circuitry might not be enabled, resulting in damage to the speaker element. Also, if the excessive power input continues for a long period of time, the circuitry may not be capable of resetting to its original condition. Use the system with care so that the speakers are not exposed to excessive power input.
