2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The F-122CU2 is a flush-mounted Ceiling Speaker System that offers a wide frequency range of high-quality sound output. It is specifically designed to be mounted to a drop ceiling with use of the supplied tile bridge.
3. FEATURES • Bass-reflex speaker system designed to provide a wide frequency range and high power handling capability. • Wide-dispersion flush-mount ceiling speaker design employs unique acoustic construction to realize a wide area of coverage. Uniform sound output levels are achievable not only directly under the speaker, but also over a wide radius.
5. MOUNTING HARDWARE INSTALLATION Before mounting the speaker, check the ceiling structure is of drop ceiling with 2-foot standard ceiling tiles. [Installation view on Drop Ceilings] Caution Set the tile bridge so that both ends fit securely into the T-grids, even if the ceiling tile accidentally falls off.

Step 3. Attach a safety wire to prevent the speaker from accidentally falling. To attach, tie one end of the supplied safety wire around the speaker's safety wire hook, and tie its snap ring around a secure C-channel bar or suspension pipe. Secure C-channel bar or suspension pipe T-grid...
6. WIRING 6.1. Using the Speaker in UL1480 Category UUMW Choke bracket Cover plate Conduit fitting Removable input connector Connector cover After completing the speaker cable connection, turn the connector cover in the direction indicated by the arrow, and fix the cover with 2 screws. Remove the choke bracket and the cover plate from the speaker.
6.2. Using the Speaker in UL1480 Category UEAY and CAN/CSA C22.2 No.205 Category UEAY7 6.2.1. Wiring through hard or flexible conduit Note The choke bracket equipped with the speaker has not been evaluated by UL, for conduit connection and UL514B Standard. Flexible conduit of 3/8 or 1/2 inch trade size and the UL514B conduit fitting of the same trade size can also be used.
6.2.2. Wiring with naked cables Choke bracket Retighten the screw to fix the speaker cable. Connector cover After completing the speaker cable connection, turn the connector cover in the direction indicated by the arrow, and fix the cover with 2 screws. Loosen the screw to allow the speaker cable to pass through.
7. CABLE CONNECTION TO INPUT CONNECTOR Recommended cable types • Solid copper wire: ø1.0 – ø1.6 mm (equivalent to AWG 18 – 14) • Stranded copper wire: 0.75 – 2.5 mm (equivalent to AWG 18 – 14) Step 1. Loosen the 2 cover mounting screws, and rotate the connector cover in the direction indicated by the arrow in the figure at right.
8. SPEAKER INSTALLATION Caution Before mounting, check to be sure that the speaker's 3 mounting tabs are turned inside the unit as shown in the figure. If turned outward, the speaker cannot be inserted through the mounting hole. Step 1. Insert the speaker through the mounting hole till it contacts the ceiling panel.

Step 3. Set the input power. Turn the input selector switch (on the unit's front) to set it to the desired input impedance. (Factory-preset to 170 Ω.) Note Setting positions "8 Ω" and "16 Ω" can be used in UL1480 Category UEAY and CAN/CSA C22.2 No.205 Category UEAY7.
9. REMOVING THE SPEAKER FOR MAINTENANCE 9.1. Detaching the Front Grille Turn the front grille counterclockwise to full stop, then lightly pull it downward. The front grille employs a double-locking system. If the grille cannot be detached when lightly pulled downward, it likely has not yet been fully rotated back to the detachment position.
11. INPUT OVERLOAD PROTECTION FUNCTION The F-122CU2 features an internal input overload protection circuitry. If an extremely high input level is fed to the unit, the protection circuitry automatically cuts off the signal to the speaker element.
12. SAFETY AGENCY COMPLIANCE This product is for indoor use only. The F-122CU2's front-mounted rotary switch permits selection of speaker handling power (wattage) on 25 V or 70 V line operation or low impedance (8 Ω or 16 Ω) operation.
