Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Tannoy Ceiling Monitor System product. This product range is suited for high-level music and speech reinforcement applications requiring exceptional sonic quality with uncompromised reliability.

Unpacking
Every Tannoy product and accessory is carefully inspected before packing. After unpacking, please inspect your product to make sure no damage has occurred in transit. In the unlikely event of any damage, would you please notify your dealer immediately and retain your shipping carton, as your dealer may ask you to return the faulty unit to him for inspection.
Each CMS loudspeaker is packed in pairs and provided with the following accessories as standard; C Ring, tile-bridge kit, grille, cut-out template, and paint mask.
A plaster (mud) ring is also available as an optional extra.

Safety Notices
Some regional construction codes require the use of a secondary method of securing loudspeakers in ceiling to provide security of a back up support. A secondary support line should be attached from the safety loop on the rear of the product to a source point on the ceiling. Please consult the relevant construction codes in your region.
When using a power driver to install the product it is essential to use the correct torque level settings to avoid over tightening and damage to the ceiling
material or clamps. Recommended torque setting: 1.5Nm Tannoy will not be held responsible for any damages caused by the improper installation of these loudspeakers.

Electrical Saftey Notice:
To comply with the standard UL1480, metal – clad flexible conduit (BX) is required for connection to the terminal block for proper earth grounding.
In order to comply with UL regulations, the PI back-can must always be used with the CMS PI models.

SAFETY NOTE:
In order to comply with relevant fire safety regulations (i.e. BS 5839:1998), it is required that in the event of fire, that failure of the circuit to which the loudspeaker is connected does not occur before evacuation of the building is complete. Suitable measures include: – a) use of terminal blocks (for connection to primary) with a melting point of not less than 650°C, for example constructed from ceramic materials; c) use of terminal blocks of a lower melting point but protected with thermal insulation; d) use of terminal blocks such that, on melting, an open-circuit or a short-circuit does not occur.

2. For connection to an amplifier, use pins 1 and 2:

   •  Pin 1 is positive

   •  Pin 2 is negative
     For connection to additional speakers in a distributed line, pins 3 and 4 are in parallel where:

   • Pin 3 is negative

   •  Pin 4 is positive

3.  Close the wiring cover and tighten both screws on the cable clamp. Use the rotary switch located on the front of the unit to select whether you wish to use the speaker in a low-impedance or distributed-line application.
   

THE SPEAKER IS SUPPLIED IN LOW IMPEDANCE MODE. NEVER CONNECT THE SPEAKER TO A 70/100 VOLT AMPLIFIER WHILE IT IS SET FOR LOW IMPEDANCE.
All CMS 801 models use a 60 W transformer. When using distributed-line systems, the transformer can be tapped at 60 W, 30 W and 15 W, with an additional 7.5 W tapping for 70.7 V line systems.
