INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this Tannoy Product loudspeaker. This product range is suited for high-level music and speech reinforcement applications requiring exceptional sonic quality with uncompromised reliability.

UNPACKING

Every Tannoy product and accessory is carefully inspected before packing. After unpacking, please inspect your product to make sure no damage has occurred in transit. In the unlikely event of any damage, would you please notify your dealer immediately and retain your shipping carton, as your dealer may ask you to return the faulty unit to them for inspection.

Each OCV loudspeaker is provided with the following accessories as standard; Gripple speed clamps, release key, 1 x hanging cable, 1 x safety cable, 1 x terminal weather boot, 1 x euroblock connector, 3/8" screwed rod adaptor, cable ties.

SAFETY NOTICES

Some regional construction codes require the use of a secondary method of securing loudspeakers in ceiling to provide security of a backup 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. Please consult the relevant construction codes in your region.

Tannoy will not be held responsible for any damages caused by the improper installation of these loudspeakers.

SAFETY NOTE:

In order to comply with the relevant fire safety regulations (ie. BS 5839:1998), it is required that in the event of fire, 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.

1. The hanging cable should be attached to the centre hole on the bracket. NOTE: The Safety cable can be attached to either of the secondary holes.

WIRING AND SETTING UP:

1. Remove the euroblock connector from the socket

2. Feed the cable through the rubber grommet then connect the euroblock connector to the cable observing the correct polarity

3. For connection to an amplifier, use pins 1 and 2:

Pin 1 is positive

Pin 2 is negative

For connection to additional speakers in a distributed line, pins 3 and 4 are in parallel where:

Pin 3 is negative

Pin 4 is positive

1. Connect the euroblock connector then replace the rubber grommet to ensure the speaker is sealed.

THE SPEAKER IS SUPPLIED IN LOW IMPEDANCE MODE. NEVER CONNECT THE SPEAKER TO A 70/100 VOLT AMPLIFIER WHILE IT IS SET FOR LOW IMPEDANCE.

1. The OCV 6 and OCV 8 is fitted with a 60W transformer. When used in distributed-line systems, the transformer can be tapped at 60W, 30W, and 15W, with an additional 7.5W tapping for 70.7V line systems.
