Horn Driver Unit
These instructions are intended for installers with specific knowledge of PA technology. Please read the instructions carefully prior to installation and keep them for later reference.
1 Applications
Combined with the matching horns, the horn driver units KU-… made of rugged
die-cast aluminium are designed for PA systems. Models KU-616T and KU-916T,
equipped with a 100 V transformer, are specially designed for PA systems using
100 V technology while model KU-516 with an impedance of 16 Ω is designed for
connection to an amplifier with low output impedance.
The driver units are weatherproof (IP 66) and are mounted to the horn via a
3.5 cm (1 ⅜“) standard thread.
2 Important Instructions for Use
The driver unit corresponds to all relevant directives of the EU and is
therefore marked with .
The driver unit corresponds to the relevant UK legislation and is therefore
marked with UKCA.
- Protect the unit against extreme high or low temperatures (admissible ambient temperature range -20 °C to +50 °C).
- For cleaning only use a soft cloth, dry or slightly damp; never use chemicals or aggressive detergents.
- No guarantee claims for the unit and no liability for any resulting personal damage or material damage will be accepted if the unit is used for other purposes than originally intended, if it is not expertly installed or if it is overloaded.
If the driver unit is to be put out of operation definitively, dispose of the unit in accordance with local regulations.
3 Installation
WARNING
For models KU-616T and KU-916T, there is a hazard of contact with a dangerous voltage of up to 100 V at the connection cable during operation. Installation must always be carried out by skilled personnel only!
- Unscrew the red cap protecting the 3.5 cm thread and use the thread to screw the driver unit to the rear of the horn.
- Prior to connecting the speaker, switch off the amplifier to which the speaker is to be connected!
- For models KU-616T and KU-916T, adjust the desired power rating with the rotary switch on the rear using a screwdriver. Please make sure to note: In a 100 V system, the total power of all speakers connected must not exceed the amplifier power. Overload may damage the amplifier!
- Connect the speaker via the two screw terminals (model KU-516) or cores (models KU-616T and KU-916T) to the speaker output of the amplifier (red = positive pole, black = negative pole). Make sure that all speakers of a speaker zone have the same polarity.
Subject to technical modification.
