1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Before installation or use, be sure to carefully read all the instructions in this section for correct and safe operation.

• Be sure to follow all the precautionary instructions in this section, which contain important warnings and/or cautions regarding safety.

• After reading, keep this manual handy for future reference.

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in death or serious personal injury.

When Installing the Unit

• Refer all installation work to the dealer from whom the speaker was purchased. Installation work requires extensive technical knowledge and experience. The speaker may fall off if incorrectly installed, resulting in possible personal injury.

• Install the speaker only in a location that can structurally support the full weight of the unit and mounting bracket. Doing otherwise may result in the speaker falling down and causing personal injury and/or property damage.

• Since the unit is designed for in-door use, do not install it outdoors. If installed outdoors, the aging of parts causes the unit to fall off, resulting in personal injury. Also, when it gets wet with rain, there is a danger of electric shock.

• Do not use other methods than specified to install the speaker. Extreme force is applied to the speaker and the speaker could fall off, possibly resulting in personal injuries.

• Use screws that are appropriate for the ceiling's or wall's material and structure. Failure to do so may cause the speaker to fall, resulting in material damage and possible personal injury.

• Ensure that all screws are securely tightened. If

they are loose after installation, the speaker could fall down, possibly resulting in personal injury.

• Do not mount the speaker in locations exposed to constant vibration. The speaker or its mounts can be damaged by excessive vibration, potentially causing the speaker to fall, which could result in personal injury.

• Do not use anti-rust lubricant. If it contacts resin or rubber parts, they could deteriorate and cause the speaker to fall, possibly resulting in personal injury.

• Do not install the speaker in indoor swimming pools or such locations where liquid chemicals are used.

The parts deteriorate if corroded, causing the speaker to fall, which could result in personal injury.

When the Unit is in Use

• If any of the following irregularities occurs, immediately switch off the amplifier's power, and inform the shop from where the speaker was purchased. Further using the speaker may result in fire or electric shock.

· If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming from the speaker

· If water or any metallic object gets into the speaker

· If the speaker falls, or the speaker case breaks

• To prevent a fire or electric shock, never open nor remove the speaker case. Refer all servicing to your nearest TOA dealer.

CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in moderate or minor personal injury, and/or property damage.

When Installing the Unit

• Avoid touching the speaker's sharp metal edge to prevent injury.

• To avoid electric shocks, be sure to switch off the amplifier's power when connecting speakers.

When the Unit is in Use

• Do not operate the speaker for an extended period of time with the sound distorting. Doing so may cause the speaker to heat, resulting in a fire.

• Do not stand or sit on, nor hang down from the speaker as this may cause it to fall down or drop, resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.

• Have the speaker checked periodically by the shop from where it was purchased. Failure to do so may result in corrosion or damage to the speaker or the mounts that could cause it to fall, possibly causing personal injury.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES

The BS-1015BSB and BS-1015BSW are certified according to the European Standard EN 54-24: 2008, the

International Standard ISO 7240-24: 2010 and compliant with the British Standard BS 5839-8: 2008.

The speaker's smoothly curved surface permits it to blend in with virtually all modern buildings.

A built-in matching transformer permits the speaker to be used for high-impedance applications.

The impedance can be easily changed from outside the speaker.

3. IMPEDANCE CHANGE

Input impedance is factory preset to 670 Ω. To change the impedance, change the rear panel-mounted rotary switch position using a standard screwdriver

Speaker (rear)

2

Notes

• Switch off the amplifier's power when changing the input power.

• This speaker is designed to be used for high impedance applications (70 V/100 V). Never connect the speaker to low impedance line as doing so may damage the speaker.

• No sound is output from the speaker when the switch is set to the OFF position.

4. WIRING

The terminal cover is not mounted to the speaker unit when shipped from the factory.

Note

To complete speaker installation, be sure to attach the terminal cover after finishing cable connections.

If the unit is left without the terminal cover attached, water or moisture may get inside the speaker, causing the unit malfunction.

Step 1. Strip the speaker cable jacket.

Step 2. Run the speaker cable through the cable gland.

Step 3. Connect the speaker cable according to the polarity indication at the screw terminal.

Step 4. Mount the terminal cover.

Secure the terminal cover using the 4 attached screws.

In this case, take care not to pinch the wiring, and check that the waterproof gasket is secured into place.

Notes

• If wiring or the waterproof gasket is pinched between the terminal cover and the unit case, this causes water or moisture to get inside the terminal cover.

• Be careful not to overtighten the screw. As a rough guide, tighten the screw until the thickness of the waterproof gasket becomes about half.

5. SPEAKER INSTALLATION

Step 1. Attach the bracket to the speaker using the supplied screws.

Step 2. Mount the speaker in the desired location using the mounting holes made in the bracket.

Note: Bracket mounting hardware is not supplied with the unit.

Referring to the bracket's dimensional diagram, prepare the correct type of screws or bolts appropriate to the wall material.
