OGRANICZONA GWARANCJA FRISKRIVNINGSKLAUSUL1. Introduction Thank you for purchasing this new AMS Series product. Designed for both speech and music program material, the Tannoy AMS range provides exceptional sonic quality and long-term reliability in all surface mount applications. The AMS range oers ve models: three featuring a new generation of Dual Concentric drivers and two with an improved version of Tannoy’s ICT technology. All new drivers have 16 ohm nominal impedance for optimized use with Lab.gruppen ampliers. Other features include IP65 rating for outdoor use, high- temperature molded cabinets and custom color options. All AMS loudspeakers include a built-in line transformer. Because all AMS models are true point-source loudspeakers, they may be mounted horizontally or vertically without aecting performance. All models include a standard mounting yoke; a multi-angle VariBall accessory bracket is available as an option.

Installation Safety Notice 1. The user is responsible for xing the hardware to the surface to ensure safe operation. The xings must support the weight of the product. Please consult the manual’s specication page for the appropriate weights. Please consult the relevant construction codes in your region for further information on suitable hardware xing methods. 2. Some regional construction codes require the use of a secondary method of securing loudspeakers to surfaces 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 wall. Please consult the relevant construction codes in your region.

3. Tannoy will not be held accountable for any damage caused by incorrect installation.

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.

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.

Installation using included yoke bracket

1. Fix the yoke bracket to an appropriate structural surface using a suitable xing method.

2. Remove the yoke trims from the product to access the bracket xing points.

3. Set the transformer tap as detailed in Chapter 5.

4. For indoor installation (proceed to step 5 for outdoor installation): Connect the euro-style plug to the wires, observing correct polarity. Use pins 1(+) and 2 (–) for connection of the loudspeaker. Use pins 3 (–) and 4 (+) for connection of additional loudspeakers in a distributed line. NOTE: Tighten pins 3 and 4 even if not used to prevent vibration of the screws. 5. For outdoor installation: Feed the loudspeaker wire(s) through the opening in the neck of the cable entry cover included with the product. Connect the euro-style plug to the wires, observing correct polarity. Use pins 1(+) and 2 (–) for connection of the loudspeaker. Use pins 3 (–) and 4 (+) for connection of additional loudspeakers in a distributed line. NOTE: Tighten pins 3 and 4 even if not used to prevent vibration of the screws.. 6. Place the loudspeaker inside the yoke bracket. Position buers between bracket and loudspeaker as shown. Attach with supplied xings using a 5 mm Allen key. Use the longer hex screws supplied when mounting the yoke bracket. 7. Connect the euro plug to the loudspeaker. For outdoor installation, attach the cable entry cover using a 3 mm Allen key and the included screws. Orient the cover plate so that the neck opening is facing downward to minimise entry of moisture or particulates.

8. Connect a secondary support line to the safety tab at the rear of the cabinet.

14 15Quick Start GuideAMS SeriesOptional multi-angle VariBall bracket The optional multi-angle accessory bracket utilises a ball-in-socket design to enable free orientation of the loudspeaker at any angle on either the horizontal or vertical axis. If desired, the loudspeaker orientation can be easily changed within minutes. Download the AMS VariBall accessory bracket documentation for more details.

5. Setting transformer taps

1. The rotary transformer tapping switch is located directly above the wiring connector.

CAUTION: THE LOUDSPEAKER IS SUPPLIED WITH THE TAP SWITCH IN LOW IMPEDANCE MODE. NEVER CONNECT THE LOUDSPEAKER TO A 70/100 V AMPLIFIER OUTPUT WHILE SWITCHED TO LOW IMPEDANCE MODE. 2. Set the rotary switch to the appropriate position for low impedance operation or for use in 70/100 V distributed systems.2. Set the rotary switch to the appropriate position for low impedance operation or for use in 70/100 V distributed systems. Models with 5-inch drivers are tted with 30 W transformers. 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.. Models with 6-inch and 8-inch drivers are tted with 60W transformers. 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. AMS 5 Multi-Angle Bracket AMS 6 & 8 Multi-Angle Bracket
