APPENDIX C: ULTRA WEATHER PROTECTION VERSION
Ultra Weather Protection is recommended for applications where loudspeakers will experience exposure to a salt air environment
or chemicals, that have no sheltering from corrosive spray or UV exposure, and that cannot be covered or removed during their
service life. Examples would include cruise ship exterior areas, ocean-side visitor attractions, swimming pool areas, and themed
attractions with wind-carried water spray.
For installations in extremely harsh environments, Meyer Sound offers an IPX5-rated, Ultra Weather Protection version of the
LEOPARD loudspeaker, which includes all of the components of standard Weather Protection, plus the following:
• Extended cabinet finishing with extra thick proprietary coatings
• Special printed circuit board treatments
• Improved corrosion-resistant coatings and materials on select metallic components
• Rigging changes for improved corrosion resistance
• Rain hood splash guard for improved water resistance
Table 7 provides a list of the accessories and user-accessible hardware component differences for LEOPARD loudspeakers that
ship from the factory as Ultra Weather Protection versions.

Comment
See entries on "Grid to Loudspeaker Fasteners" and
"Blanking Screws" in the UW LEOPARD Accessory/Part
Column.
NOTE:
UW grids require the GROUNDSTACK KIT UW
(40.243.163.05 or 40.243.163.06) in order to be usable
for ground-stacking.
Two of these "blanking screws" are inserted around each
grid pin hole location to prevent corrosion at unused pin
locations. Those at locations where the speaker links will be
attached must be removed before attaching a speaker to
the grid (Figure 25).
NOTE:
For the LEOPARD loudspeaker, the front and
middle blanking screws must be removed. For the 900-LFC
loudspeaker, the front and rear blanking screws must be
removed.
