Rev. 4.00 TS9x Series Lightweight Speaker Array Manual

Section 1.0 Description

1.1 Introduction

This manual contains information on the TS9x Lightweight Speaker arrays.

Information in this section consists of purpose of equipment, features and specifications.

1.2 Purpose of Equipment

The TS9x speaker arrays are lightweight, high output power loudspeakers for use in airto-ground, air-to-sea, or ground-to-ground audible communication systems. The TS9x speaker array series are used with the PA250 and PA700 series amplifiers.

1.3 Features

This series of speakers is available in multiples of two bells, which allows the user to vary the range and/or dispersal pattern depending on the mounting configurations. TS92’s are used for large area dispersion, and TS93/TS94’s are for more focused applications. The driver assembly and mechanical parts are field replaceable for ease of maintenance.

1.4.2 Physical Specifications

See Mechanical Installation drawings (TS9x-xxxx\922-0) for speaker array physical specifications (where x is the model reference of the specific unit under consideration, i.e. TS92-04XN\922-0.)

1.5 System Configuration

The TS9x Speaker Array 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.

For example: a 400 watt system requires 4 speaker drivers = TS9x-04xx

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.

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:

- TS9x Lightweight Speaker Array

- Warranty Card

- Release certification

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

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.

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

loudspeaker horn. Do not clean the loudspeaker with compressed air.

2.3.3 Cabling and Wiring

All unshielded wire should be MIL-W-22759 or equivalent. 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 TS9x Speaker Array. Careful consideration should be given to the operating environment and the mechanical forces acting upon the TS9x unit(s).

2.3.5 Post-Installation Checks

Ensure all connectors are tight and the speaker array mechanical installation is sound. When the PA system installation is complete, carry out a full performance test to ensure

that all components of the system (including the loudspeaker array) are functioning correctly. For full post-installation check information, refer to the relevant PA System and Power Amplifier service manuals.

2.4 Continued Airworthiness

Maintenance of the TS9x is ‘on condition’ only. Periodic maintenance of this product is not required.
