Guidelines For Using Entasys 200 Outdoors; Field Service - Community ENTASYS 200 Installation & Operation Manual

Installation
Suspending Loudspeakers with Community Brackets
ENTASYS 200 Series loudspeakers can be rigged using a variety of accessories available from
Community. We encourage the use of these rigging accessories because they are properly load rated
and designed specifically for use with ENTASYS 200 loudspeakers.

GUIDELINES FOR USING ENTASYS 200 OUTDOORS

ENTASYS 200 is suitable for outdoor installation and has an IP rating of IP54W when used as recommended
herein. For best results in outdoor applications, follow these guidelines:

Tilt the ENTASYS column downwards at least 2° to prevent water accumulation. The included Pan-Tilt Kit
may be used for this purpose as described below.

Use the barrier strip input terminals and the supplied weather cover panel. The NL4 type inputs may be
used for short-term connections outdoors, but are not recommended for long-term outdoor usage.

Use outdoor-rated cable, such as type SJOW, and route the cable into the ENTASYS column through a 1/2-
inch NPT fitting (not supplied). The ENTASYS connector cover panel has a knock-out for this fitting.

The ENTASYS 200 Pan-Tilt Bracket may be used outdoors to provide a small downwards tilt. Do not extend
the large Pan-Tilt Bracket with the extension arm as this will increase the possibility of damage in high
wind conditions.

Safety cables should always be utilized. Each ENTASYS 200 Model is equipped with a built-in eyebolt on
the top of the enclosure for this purpose. The cable should be of adequate size and strength to suspend
the loudspeaker in the event of a failure of the mounting bracket, or of the surface to which the mounting
bracket is fastened.

Installation in areas that experience frequent dust or sand storms is not recommended. The loudspeaker
grille cloth may become clogged, degrading performance.

Winter ice storms may temporarily clog the loudspeaker grille. This will not harm the ENTASYS 200
column, but may degrade performance due to the temporary grille blockage.
Please contact Community's TAG Team (Technical Applications Group) for additional assistance.
