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.
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.
