3 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.
4 Installation in Suspended Ceilings
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 and the CMS 803DC
models have the transformer pre-attached to the
inside of the backcan; the CMS 503DC models have
the transformer pre-attached to the loudspeaker
assembly.
1. Attach the backcan to a secure xing point.
This can be done one of three ways:
METHOD 1: Fix to a secure point using suitable
xings attached to the four xing holes on the PI
backcan. (Fig.1)
.
METHOD 2: Fix to a secure point using suitable
xings and the exible straps attached to the PI
backcan. (Fig. 2)
1 Introduction
This Quick Start Guide (QSG) provides the basic
information required to install and connect the
pre-install (PI) versions of Tannoy CMS Series
in-ceiling loudspeakers.
For additional information, including product
technology, photo identication of product features,
dimensional drawings, and complete technical
specications, please refer to the full CMS Series
Operation Manual.
For installation of CMS Series blind-mount
versions, please refer to either the CMS BM Quick
Start Guide or the full CMS Operation Manual.
2 Safety Notices
Some regional construction codes require the use
of a secondary method of securing loudspeakers
in 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.
Electrical Safety Notice: to comply with the
standard UL1480, metal-clad exible conduit (BX)
is required for connection to the terminal block for
proper earth grounding.
SAFETY NOTE: In order to comply with the
relevant re safety regulations (i.e. 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:
• Use of terminal blocks (for connection to
primary) with a melting point of not less than
650°C, for example constructed from ceramic
materials;
• Use of terminal blocks of a lower melting
point but protected with thermal insulation;
• Use of terminal blocks such that, on melting, an
open-circuit or a short-circuit does not occur.

METHOD 3:
a. Attach the PI backcan to the option pre-mount
plaster ring using the xing points provided with the
pre-mount ring. (Fig 3).
b. Secure the wings of the pre-mount ring to a secure
xing point using suitable xings.
2. Attach conduit to the backcan using one of
two methods:
METHOD 1: 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.4)
METHOD 2: Use any of the three knock-out points at
the sides of the backcan (19 mm, 22 mm or 28 mm
diameter). (Fig 5)
3. If conduit not used, run approved speaker cable to
the installed can. Terminate in the top-mounted cable
clamp or with an approved cable connector in one of
the three knock-out points at the sides of the backcan.
4. Cut a hole in the proper ceiling location using the
supplied cut-out template (self-adhesive backing) and
a pad saw. Place the pre-install backcan over the hole.
5. Proceed to Section 5 following on wiring and setting
up. Return to Step 6 below.
6. 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.6)

5 Wiring and Setting Up
1. Open the wiring cover (if applicable) and locate
the Euro-type connector plug and socket at the
back of the speaker. (Fig.1)
2. For connection to an amplier, use Pins 1 and 2
3. Close the wiring cover and tighten both screws
on the cable clamp (if applicable).
4. Use the rotary switch on the front of the
unit to select low impedance (LoZ) mode
or high impedance (70 V or 100 V) for
distributed applications.
The speaker is supplied in low impedance
mode. Never connect the speaker to a
70 / 100 volt amplier while it is set for
low impedance.
CMS 403DCe and CMS 503DC models (all
variants) use a 30 W transformer. In distributed
line applications, the transformer can be tapped
at 30 W, 15 W and 7.5 W, with an additional
3.75 W tap for 70 V line systems.
CMS 603DC and CMS 803DC models (all
variants) use a 60 W transformer. In distributed
Line applications, the transformer can be tapped
at 60 W, 30 W and 15 W with an additional 7.5 W
tap for 70 V line systems.
