1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this Tannoy Ceiling Monitor System product. Designed for both speech and music program material, the Tannoy CMS range provides exceptional sonic quality and long-term reliability in all ceilingmount applications. The CMS 3.0 DC series features new 16 ohm Dual Concentric™ drivers for improved performance and prolonged service life.

2. Unpacking

Every Tannoy product is carefully inspected before shipment. After unpacking, please inspect your product to ensure no damage has occurred in transit. In the unlikely event of damage, please notify your dealer and retain all shipping materials as your dealer may require return shipment.

All CMS loudspeakers are shipped in pairs and provided with the following accessories as standard: C-ring, tile-bridge kit, cut-out template and paint mask. A plaster (mud) ring is available as an optional accessory.

3. Safety Notices

Some regional construction codes require the use of a secondary method of securing loudspeakers in the ceiling to provide security of a back-up 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. For PI models, the secondary support line should be attached from the back of the driver chassis 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.

The CMS 603 ICT LS is UL-1480, category UUMW, for use with non-DC supervised systems.

Electrical Safety Notice: To comply with the standard UL-1480, metal-clad exible conduit (BX) is required for connection to the terminal block for proper earth grounding.

In order to comply with UL regulations, the PI backcan must always be used with the CMS PI models.

SAFETY NOTE: In order to comply with the relevant re safety regulations (ie. BS 5839:1998), it is required that in the event of re, that failure of the circuit to which the loudspeaker is connected does not occur before 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 650°C, for example constructed from ceramic materials; b) use of terminal blocks of a lower melting 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.

6. Installation

6.1. Installation Guide for Suspended Ceilings

1. Remove the ceiling tile from its frame and place it on a at surface. Position the cutout template (self adhesive backed) on the tile. (Fig.1)

2. Cut out the hole in the ceiling tile using a pad saw following the broken line indicated on the template (Fig.2)

3. Place the C-Ring and tile-bridge on top of the ceiling panel, aligning the C-Ring over the hole, and screw the C-Ring to the tile bridge using the xings provided. (Fig.3)

Fig.1

4. Go to section 7 for instructions on wiring and set-up instructions.

5. Slide the speaker assembly through the hole. Turn the screws (denoted “Screw Fix”) clockwise on the front of the speaker to extend the mounting wings. Tighten the screws until a rm grip is achieved. (NOTE: Screws have a PoziDriv head; use of a PoziDriv driver is recommended). If using a power driver, Tannoy recommends a torque setting of 1.5 Nm. (Fig.4)

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!

6. Attach the nylon safety to the hooks on the front bafe before attaching the grille by presenting it to the speakers and allowing the magnets to pull it into position (Fig.5). (With the CMS 403DCe/ICTe, the grille is already tted to the product.)

NOTE ON INSTALLATION OF CMS 403DCe/ICTe:

Before tightening the screws in step 5, swivel the speaker in the desired direction. When the screws are tightened, the speaker will lock into position. Replace the front trim to conceal the mounting screws.

6.4. Installation Guide for Optional Pre-Installation Backcan (PI Models Only)

An optional pre-install backcan is available for all pre-install (PI) models. The backcan is designed for pre-installation in newly constructed, non-suspended ceilings.

NOTE: The CMS 603DC/ICT and CMS 803DC models have the transformer pre-attached to the inside of the backcan; the CMS 503DC/ICT models have the transformer pre-attached to the loudspeaker assembly.

1. Attach the backcan to a safe and secure xing point. This can be done in a number of ways:

METHOD 1: Fix the backcan to a secure xing point by using suitable xings with the 4 xing holes provided on the PI backcan. (Fig.1)

Fig.1

METHOD 2: Secure the backcan to a safe and secure xing point using suitable xings with the exible straps that are attached to the PI backcan. (Fig.2)

METHOD 3:

a. Attach the PI backcan to the optional pre-mount ring (plaster ring) using the xings provided with the pre-mount ring. (Fig.3)

b. Next, secure the wings of the pre-mount ring to a safe and secure xing point by using suitable xings. (Fig.4)

2. Attach the conduit to the installed backcan. This can be done in two ways:

METHOD 1: You can use the clamp at the back of the pre-install backcan. The product will accept a squeeze connector with a thread size of up to 22 mm: To remove the cable clamp, simply unscrew the threaded washer (under the wiring cover) which holds the cable clamp in place and replace it with a conduit squeeze connector. (Fig.5)

METHOD 2: You can use any of the three knock-out points at the sides of the PI backcan (19 mm, 22 mm or 28 mm diameter). (Fig.6)
