TS100/TS200 Series PA Speakers Manual SM70 Rev. 4.00

1.5 System Configuration

The TS100/TS200 PA Speaker should be chosen to match the audio output power of
the PA System amplifier. As a general rule, the system should have one speaker driver
(minimum) for each 100 watts of audio power.

Failure to follow this rule can result in the speakers being overdriven, leading to high
levels of distortion and premature failure of the speaker drivers.

Section 2 Installation

2.1 Introduction

Information in this section consists of: unpacking and inspection procedures, installation
procedures, post-installation checks, and installation drawings.

2.2 Unpacking and Inspection

Unpack the equipment carefully and locate the warranty card. Inspect the unit visually
for damage due to shipping and report all such claims immediately to the carrier
involved. Note that each unit should have the following:

- TS100/TS200 Series PA Speaker

- Warranty Card

- Release certification

Verify that all items are present before proceeding and report any shortage immediately
to your supplier.

2.2.1 Warranty

Complete the warranty card information and send it to NAT when the installation is
complete. If you fail to complete the warranty card, the warranty will be activated on
date of shipment from NAT.

Note: An appropriately rated facility, e.g. Certified Aircraft Repair Station, must install

this equipment in accordance with applicable regulations. NAT Ltd’s warranty is
not valid unless the equipment is installed by an authorized NAT Dealer. Failure
to follow any of the installation instructions, or installation by a non-certified
individual or agency will void the warranty, and may result in a non-airworthy
installation.

2.3 Installation Procedures

2.3.1 Warnings

Stand clear, this equipment operates at an intense sound level. Personnel must be kept
away from the direct loudspeaker beam.

2.3.2 Cautions

Do not operate the equipment in a hangar or in confined areas.

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY TO NORTHERN AIRBORNE TECHNOLOGY LTD.

TS100/TS200 Series PA Speakers Manual SM70 Rev. 4.00

Do not operate the equipment with snow, water or other foreign matter in the
loudspeaker horn.

Do not clean the loudspeaker with compressed air.

Be careful only to operate the siren for 3 cycles at a time and trill for a short 2 to 3
second burst. The driver is unable to withstand constant signals – it requires a Duty
cycle (see above) to permit the unit to cool down.

2.3.3 Cabling and Wiring

All unshielded wire shall be selected in accordance with AC43.13-1B Change 1,
Paragraphs 11-76 through 11-78. Wire types should be to MIL-W-22759 as specified in
AC43.13-1B Change 1, Paragraphs 11-85, 11-86, and listed in Table 11-11.

For shielded wire applications, use Tefzel MIL-M-27500 or MIL-M-81044 shielded wire
with solder sleeves (for shield terminations) to make the most compact and easily
terminated interconnect. Follow the wiring diagrams in Section 2.5 as required.

2.3.4 Mechanical Installation

The installing agency is responsible for the design, engineering and installation of the
mounting bracket for the Speaker. Careful consideration should be given to the
operating environment and the mechanical forces acting upon the unit.

When installing the speakers, ensure that there is adequate airflow to cool the
speaker drivers, and that the speaker phasing is correct.

Note: The speakers are designed for intermittent operation only.

CAUTION

Failure to install the TS200WR speakers as shown in the
relevant wiring diagram(s) will result in PERMANENT AND
IRREPARABLE DAMAGE to the speaker drivers.

Both speaker drivers MUST be wired in phase to ensure
proper performance and to prevent damage.
