1. INSTALLATION
1.1 Mounting the Loud Hailer
The Loud Hailer can be mounted on a desktop, on the overhead, on a bulkhead or f lush
mounted i n a panel (optional ki t required). Refer to the mounting template (supplied) for
installation instructions.
Mounting considerations
When planning the location for t he Loud Hail er, keep in the mind the fol lowing
considerations.
Locate the unit where the front panel can be eas ily viewed and operated.
Leave sufficient space at the sides and rear of your uni t for ease of maintenance.
Locate the unit as near to the power sour c e as pos s ible.
The loc ation should be out of direct sunlight because of heat t hat can build up inside the
cabinet.
Choose a location not subject to rain and salt spr ay.
Locate the unit well away from sourc es of noise such as motors, al ternators a nd
generators.

terminal on the DC power source, and the wire connected to the negativ e terminal (-) must
be connected to the negative t erminal on the DC power source. If the power leads are
rev ersed the fuse (inside t he Loud Hailer) will blow.
Intercom speaker (option)
Up to four intercom speakers may be connected to the intercom speaker terminals labeled
CAL1-CAL4. Connect each speaker to the terminal block according to desired intercom
speaker selection. The cable end is prefabricated. Howev er, to meet EMC requ irements the
length of the cable must be less than 1 m. If the distance between the Loud Hailer and
intercom speaker is greater than 2 m ( max. 20 m) , use a j unction box (l ocal supply) . For the
connection to the j unction box use cable type CO-SPEVV-SB-C 0.2X2P (opt ion) an d
fabricate it as below. In this case, the length of the cable between the j unction box and an
intercom speaker must no be more than 1 m regardless of whether the equipm ent must

Hailer horn (local supply)
Mount the hailer horns ( local supply) faci ng away from t he Loud Hailer to prevent feedback.
They should also be pointed in the opposite direction of the micr ophone as you are
speaking into it. B efore mounting any horn, you should test it with the HAIL feature with the
horn in the desired location to check f or s uitability of mount ing location.
Connect horns to the Loud Hailer with cabl e type DPYC-1.5 or equivalent. (See pag e 6 for
how to fabricate this cable.) B e s ur e the cable is suitabl e for all-w eather use. The
terminat ing point on t he terminal is either FWD or A FT depending on the l oc ation of the
speaker.
Burglar alarm (local supply)
The unit can function as a burglar alarm by connecting an exter nal alarm sens or (local
supply) to the ALRM ter m inals. The alarm sens or s hould be a “norm ally open switch”. Use
cable type TTY CS - 1 or equivalent to connect the sens or. Fabricate the cable as shown
below.
When the sens or c onnected to t he ALRM terminal becom es s horted an d the alarm func tion
is active, the yelp signal is released at maxi mum vol um e through both hailer hor ns.

Floating ground
The LH-3000 h as a floati ng gr ound. What this means is t hat the heat si nk gr ound is floating
and will not ground batteries if t hey are c onnec ted to the s hip’s chass is. To maint ain a
floating ground:
1. Use a stereo plug when connecting a 4 ohm speaker to the external speak er plug.
Connect i t as shown i n the i llustration below.
Do not use for battery use for ship's earth only
St er eo plug
2. Do not connect any of the output connectors on the rear panel to t he s hip’s ground.
3. SP outputs ar e floati ng and m us t not be connected to either battery or the rear p anel.
Use a normal two conductor insulated speaker wire for the horn speaker.
Output power
The output power may be s et for 30 W or 20 W, and the default s ettings is 30 W. For 20 W
output contact a FURU NO agent or dealer for details.
Note: I f an external speaker is used it must be capable of handling the rat ed output power.
