Frequently Asked Questions - KFLDS30T Bogen

How do I install the KFLDS30T horn speaker?

Separate the mounting base from the horn by unscrewing the wing nut and removing the threaded pin. Use the base as a template to drill three mounting holes, then attach the base with appropriate hardware (not included). Ensure the base sits flat to avoid fracture. Reattach the horn and hand-tighten the wing nut.

How do I select the correct wattage tap?

Adjust the tap selector switch to the desired wattage using the chart on the speaker. For 70V systems, available taps are 1.8, 3.7, 7.5, 15, and 30 watts. For 25V systems, taps are 0.25, 0.5, 0.9, 1.8, 3.7, 7.5, and 15 watts. Do not use positions marked with an asterisk (*).

What is the correct wiring for 70V systems?

Remove the plastic cover to access terminals. Connect the 70V 'hot' lead to terminal #1 and the system common lead to terminal #2. Follow this pattern on all similar speakers to ensure proper phasing, though reversal will still work.

Can I mount the speaker outdoors?

Yes, the KFLDS30T is suitable for outdoor use. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and use hardware appropriate for outdoor conditions. The horn is designed to withstand normal weather, but avoid exposure to extreme conditions.

What is the warranty coverage?

Bogen provides a limited lifetime warranty covering defects in material or workmanship for the original purchaser. Normal installation and use are required. The product must be shipped insured and prepaid to Bogen Service Department for repair or replacement. Abuse, misuse, or improper installation voids the warranty.

What optional accessories are available?

Optional accessories include the BC1 Beam Clamp for mounting to I-beam flanges and the TCSPT1 Terminal & Tap Selector Fitting for easier connection and tap selection.

How do I replace the terminal cover?

After making electrical connections, secure the plastic cover back in place by snapping it onto the base. Ensure it fits snugly to protect terminals from dust and moisture.

Is the speaker suitable for 25V systems?

Yes, the KFLDS30T can be used with 25V systems. Use the tap selector to choose from available 25V wattage taps: 0.25, 0.5, 0.9, 1.8, 3.7, 7.5, or 15 watts. Avoid positions marked with an asterisk.

What hardware is needed for mounting?

The included base requires three mounting screws or bolts (not supplied). Use hardware suitable for the mounting surface (e.g., wood screws for wood, masonry anchors for concrete). For I-beam mounting, use the optional BC1 Beam Clamp.

How do I adjust the horn orientation?

Loosen the wing nut, tilt and swivel the horn to the desired direction, then re-tighten the wing nut by hand. Do not use pliers or tools to avoid overtightening.

USER MANUAL KFLDS30T Bogen

Wide Dispersion, 30W, Horn Loudspeaker

Installation Instructions

1. Unscrew wing nut and remove threaded pin to separate the mounting base from the horn. Use the base as a template for the mounting holes. Drill three mounting holes and attach the base using appropriate hardware (not included). See Figure 1

IMPORTANT: Make sure the base sits flat on the mounting surface. Tightening the base down on an uneven surface could cause the base to fracture.

The speaker can be mounted to an I-beam flange using Bogen's accessory BC1 Beam Clamp. The slot in the base also allows strapping to be used as a means of mounting the horn (use a strapping material capable of supporting the weight of the speaker and any external loads on the horn such as wind).
