Be sure to follow the instructions below. Failure to do so may cause damage to the speaker. • Install the speaker so that its bottom surface is positioned downward. Five air vents are provided in the bottom surface. Never block these air vents. Air vent Do not install vertically. Air vent • PW-1230DB/1230DW/1430DB/1430DW • PW-1230SB/1230SW/1430SB/1430SW (double-sided radiation type) (single-sided radiation type) Install the speaker within a downward tilt Install the speaker within a downward tilt angle of only 0°.
7. INSTALLATION Be sure to observe the following instructions. Failure to do so may cause the unit to fall, possibly resulting in personal injury. wARNING • Use bolts and nuts that are appropriate for the material and structure at the installation location. • Securely tighten all bolts. • Be sure to use at least 4 bolts to secure the mounting bracket to the installation location. 7.1.

7.2. Installation of Double-Sided Type Speakers The double-sided type speakers (PW-1230DB/1230DW/1430DB/1430DW) emit positive pressure wave from their front (the side with TOA logo affixed) and negative pressure wave from their rear. It is recommended to orient these speakers as shown below when installing them in platforms or long narrow passages. [Installation example] Positve pressure wave : “Positive”...
