Safety Notices
Some regional construction codes require the use of a secondary method of securing loudspeakers in the ceiling to provide security of backup 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: 1.5 Nm.Tannoy will not be held responsible for any damages caused by the improper installation of these loudspeakers.
SAFETY NOTE:
In order to comply with the relevant hie safety regulations (ie. BS 5839:1998), it is required that in the event of a fire, that failure of the circuit to which the loudspeaker is connected does not o«ur before the 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 6501, for example, constructed from (comic materials; b) use of terminal blocks of a lower left ing point but protected with thermal insulation; c) use of terminal blocks such that. on melting, an open-circuit or a short-circuit does not occur.

Installation Guide for Suspended Ceilings
NOTE: The speaker images shown are for guidance only, and may not exactly represent your particular model.
- Remove the ceiling tile from its frame and place it on a flat surface. Mark the cut-out area on the ceiling tile by tracing around the template provided. (Fig.1)
- Cut out the hole in the ceiling tile using a circular saw or pad saw (Fig.2). Place the C-ring and tile-bridge on top of the ceiling panel, align the C-ring over the hole, and screw the C-ring to the tile bridge using the fixings provided. (Fig.3)
- Slide the speaker assembly through the hole and turn the screws on the front of the speaker to extend the mounting wings. Tighten the screws until a firm grip is achieved.If using a power driver, Tannoy recommends a torque setting of 1.5 Nm. (Fig.4)DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
- Slide the tile panel back into the suspended ceiling. The tile bridge ends will catch over the railings, supporting the weight of the speaker. (Fig.5)
- Connect a secondary support line to the safety tab. Some construction codes require the use of this secondary support point, which should connect to a separate secure support point using a suitable support line.Consult construction codes in your region.Go to page 15 for instructions on wiring and set-up instructions.

Wiring and Setting Up
NOTE: The speaker images shown are for guidance only, and may not exactly represent your particular model.We recommend the use of insulated speaker wiring of between 12 and 18 AWG.WARNING: The power of the amplifier must be turned OFF when making connections to the loudspeakers.All connections must be checked before turning the amplifiers.
- Remove the wiring cover at the back of the speaker can access the removable Euro-type connector plug and socket.
- The speakers come with a standard speaker cable clamp (Fig.1), and an optional gland for EN5424 applications (Fig.2).(Please note that EN5424 does not cover the CVS 801S and CVS801SLZ subwoofers.)
- Feed the cable through and attach to the Euro-type connector (Fig.3). ‘
- For connection to an amplifier, use Pins 1 and 2 (Figs.3, 4, 5):• Make sure that the wiring polarity is correct, where:• Pin 1 is positive• Pin 2 is negativeFor connection to additional speakers in a distributed line (Fig.4)Pins 3 and 4 are used to loop thru to additional speakers:• Make sure that the wiring polarity is correct, where:• Pin 3 is positive• Pin 4 is negative
- Tighten the cable clamp or cable gland and plug in the Euro-type connector to the loudspeaker. Replace the rear cover and securely tighten the supplied screws.
- The speaker is fitted with a multi-tap transformer for use in distributed-line systems (Fig.6). There is also a LOZ tap. Select the required tap before pushing the grill in place. The average impedance of each speaker in this range is 8 Ohms in the LOZ setting.CAUTION: THE SPEAKER IS SUPPLIED IN LOW IMPEDANCE MODE. NEVER CONNECT THE SPEAKER TO A 70/100 VOLT AMPLIFIER WHILE THE SPEAKER IS SETFOR LOW IMPEDANCE (LOZ).
