TABLE OF CONTENTS

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Before installation or use, be sure to carefully read all the instructions in this section for correct and safe operation.

• Be sure to follow all the precautionary instructions in this section, which contain important warnings and/or cautions regarding safety.

• After reading, keep this manual handy for future reference.

When Installing the Unit

• Refer all installation work to the dealer from whom the speaker was purchased. Installation work requires extensive technical knowledge and experience. The speaker may fall off if incorrectly installed, resulting in possible personal injury.

• Install the speaker only in a location that can structurally support the full weight of the unit and mounting bracket. Doing otherwise may result in the speaker falling down and causing personal

injury and/or property damage.

• Since the unit is designed for in-door use, do not install it outdoors. If installed outdoors, the aging of parts causes the unit to fall off, resulting in personal injury. Also, when it gets wet with rain, there is a danger of electric shock.

• Do not use other methods than specified to install the speaker. Extreme force is applied to the speaker and the speaker could fall off, possibly resulting in personal injuries.

• Use screws that are appropriate for the ceiling's material and structure. Failure to do so may cause the speaker to fall, resulting in material damage and possible personal injury.

• Ensure that all screws are securely tightened. If they are loose after installation, the speaker could fall down, possibly resulting in personal injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in death or serious personal injury.

WARNING

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES

The PE-154BS is certified according to the European Standard EN 54-24: 2008, the International Standard ISO 7240-24: 2010 and compliant with the British Standard BS 5839-8: 2008 14.8. The PE-154BS is a pendant speaker designed for ceiling suspension installations. Considered in architectural design, it can blend in with lighting equipment. A directly-attached 3 m (9.84 ft) speaker cord allows the speaker to be suspended from the high ceiling. The speaker is driven on high-impedance (100 V and 70 V) line, and its input power (impedance) can be easily switched.

Note

Never dismantle the PE-154BS in any way even for repainting reason. Since the PE-154BS is certified in the form of complete assembly by the above-mentioned standards, it does not meet these standards if dismantled.

3. IMPEDANCE CHANGE

The input power (impedance) is factory-preset to 15 W (670 Ω) for 100 V line and 7.5 W (670 Ω) for 70 V line. When changing this setting, use a standard screwdriver to rotate the rotary switch on the upper side of the speaker to the desired position.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in moderate or minor personal injury, and/or property damage.

CAUTION

• Do not mount the speaker in locations exposed to constant vibration. The speaker or its mounts can be damaged by excessive vibration, potentially causing the speaker to fall, which could result in personal injury.

• Do not use anti-rust lubricant. If it contacts resin or rubber parts, they could deteriorate and cause the speaker to fall, possibly resulting in personal injury.

• Do not install the speaker in indoor swimming pools or such locations where liquid chemicals are used. The parts deteriorate if corroded, causing the speaker to fall, which could result in personal injury.

When the Unit is in Use

• If any of the following irregularities occurs, immediately switch off the amplifier's power, and inform the shop from where the speaker was purchased. Further using the speaker may result in fire or electric shock.

· If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming

from the speaker

· If water or any metallic object gets into the

speaker

· If the speaker falls, or the speaker case breaks

• To prevent a fire or electric shock, never open nor remove the speaker case. Refer all servicing to your nearest TOA dealer.

When Installing the Unit

• Avoid touching the speaker's sharp metal edge to prevent injury.

• To avoid electric shocks, be sure to switch off the amplifier's power when connecting speakers.

When the Unit is in Use

• Do not operate the speaker for an extended period of time with the sound distorting. Doing so may cause the speaker to heat, resulting in a fire.

• Do not stand or sit on, nor hang down from the speaker as this may cause it to fall down or drop, resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.

• Have the speaker checked periodically by the shop from where it was purchased. Failure to do so may result in corrosion or damage to the speaker or the mounts that could cause it to fall, possibly causing personal injury.

Notes

• Switch off the amplifier's power when changing the input power.

• No sound is output when the switch is set to the OFF position.

4. INSTALLATION

Step 2. Pass the speaker cable through the supplied

ceiling cover, and cut the cable to the desired length.

Step 1. Secure the ceiling bracket to the ceiling with

4 screws. Pull the cable through the cable gland in the bracket.

Step 4. Connect the speaker cable to the screw

terminal.

Step 5. Put the mounting hanger onto the ceiling

bracket's hook.

Step 6. Connect the cable (from the amplifier) to the

screw terminal.

Step 7. Push the ceiling cover, slipped over the

connected cables, onto the ceiling surface, then tighten the cover-retaining nut using a 17 mm (0.67") hex wrench. In the case of exposed wiring, cut out the cable entry tab on the rim of the cover, then make connections.

Step 3. Run the speaker cable through the cable

holes in the mounting hanger.

Note: Make a clearance hole for the cable gland in

the ceiling panel as needed so that the ceiling bracket can be attached firmly to the ceiling.
