Frequently Asked Questions - BC1 Bogen

How do I install the Bogen BC1 beam clamp?

First, detach the horn base from the speaker. Then bolt the base to the beam clamp using the appropriate bolt length. Fasten the clamp assembly to the web of an I-beam and tighten the clamp bolt. Finally, place the horn onto its base and complete electrical installation.

Which bolt should I use for my Bogen horn speaker?

Use the long bolt for cast bases of 15W and 30W horns. Use the short bolt for stamped bases of 5W and 7W horns. Using the wrong bolt may prevent proper seating.

Can I use the BC1 with non-Bogen horn speakers?

Yes, but you may need to drill a 3/8" hole in the horn base if it does not already have one. Ensure compatibility with the clamp and bolt.

Do I need to drill a hole in my horn base?

Later model Bogen horns have a flange hole. For earlier models or non-Bogen horns without this hole, drill a 3/8" hole in the base to attach the clamp.

What tools are required for installation?

You will need a wrench or socket to tighten the clamp bolt and bolts, and possibly a drill with a 3/8" bit if you need to create a hole in the horn base.

Is the BC1 beam clamp adjustable for different beam sizes?

The clamp is designed to fit standard I-beam webs. Specific dimensions are not provided, but it should accommodate typical beam widths. For unusual sizes, verify compatibility before installation.

What is the weight capacity of the BC1?

The weight capacity is not explicitly stated, but the clamp is designed for Bogen horn speakers up to 30W. It should support the weight of these speakers safely.

How do I attach the horn to the clamp once installed?

After the clamp is secured to the I-beam and the base is bolted to the clamp, simply place the horn speaker onto its base and secure it as per the horn's instructions. Then finish electrical connections.

Can the BC1 be used outdoors?

The manual does not specify outdoor use. Since it is a metal clamp, it may be used indoors. For outdoor installation, consider corrosion protection and weatherproofing.

Where can I find the full user manual for the BC1?

The full manual is available for free download on notice-facile.com in PDF format. It contains detailed instructions and specifications.

USER MANUAL BC1 Bogen

The beam clamp mounting system is designed to provide an easy and secure way of mounting horn speakers to I-beams.

A) For easier installation, detach the horn base (flange) from the horn (refer to the speaker's instruction manual for directions on detaching the base).
B) Bolt the base [3] to the beam clamp [5] using the supplied bolt [1] and lock washer [2].

Two bolt lengths are provided. Use the longer bolt for mounting the cast bases of Bogen's 15W and 30W horns. Use the shorter bolt for the stamped bases of the 5W and 7W horns.

A flange hole [4] is provided in the base of later model Bogen horn speakers. For earlier model horns without this hole or non-Bogen horns, drill a 3/8" hole in the base.

NOTE: It is important to use the correct length bolt or else the clamp or base will not seat properly.

C) Fasten the beam clamp assembly to the web of an I-beam and tighten the clamp bolt [6] well to secure the horn's mounting base in place.
D) Place the horn speaker onto its base and finish the electrical installation and positioning.
