For more information, refer to the description concerning high impedance connection at the following URL.Yamaha Pro Audio site “Better Sound for Commercial Installations”: http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/global/en/training_support/better_sound/Using Loop-Through TerminalsFor this method, cables are connected from terminals 1 and 4 to thesubsequent speaker. Cables with a thickness up to AWG 12 can be used. Ifthe Euroblock plug is disconnected from a speaker, all subsequent speakerswill not work. This can be useful to identify which speaker has a problem.Paralleling Input TerminalsFor this method, cables are connected to terminals 2 and 3 of eachspeaker. Connect two cables to one terminal. Cables with a thickness upto AWG 17 can be used. Since the cables are connected via Euroblockplugs, subsequent speakers can work properly.From amplifier orprevious speakers To subsequentspeakersTosubsequentspeakersEuroblockplugPoweramplifierSpeakerFrom amplifier orprevious speakersTo subsequentspeakersPoweramplifierSpeakerEuroblockplugTosubsequentspeakersInstalling the SpeakersInstall the speakers onto the ceiling with the supplied hardware. Ensure thatthe strength of the ceiling rail is sufficiently strong.Illustrations in this manual are for the VXC3F. The installation method is thesame for other models.CAUTIONWhen attaching the speakers, turn off the power amplifier.Pre-installation (Preparation of the Cable)• Use stranded wire for cables attached to the Euroblock plug. Strip theirinsulation as shown in the figure and connect them.NoteDo not plate stranded wires by solder. Doing so will cause the wire tobreak.• Make sure that the release lever of the baffle front is in the position asshown in the figure below.1 Put the supplied cutout template to the ceiling and draw a circle bytracing it.Make sure to use the cutout template so that hole is the correctdiameter.NoteIf you use a circular cutter, set the diameter with the cutout template.2 Cut the hole by tracing the circle.Be careful to prevent chips or powder entering your eyes whilecutting the hole.1 Insert the two tile rails through the cut hole and place them on theceiling surface within your reach. Be sure that each tile rails areoriented as shown below.2 Insert the folded O-ring through the cut hole and open it in the ceiling.3 Secure the O-ring and tile rails with supplied two screws througheither slot of both O-ring brackets.1 Cut Out a Hole in the Ceiling2 Install the Tile Rails and O-ringAbout 7 mm (0.3 in.)Maximum thickness of the cable 12 AWGRelease leverO-ringTile rail1 Pull the wiring from the amplifier through the cut hole of the ceiling.2 Pass the cable through the terminal cover.3 After loosening the terminal screws of the Euroblock plug with a flat-blade screwdriver, insert the cable into each terminal and tighten thescrews. For the connection, refer to “Connecting the Cable”. Makesure that cables cannot be pulled out.NoteUse a flat-blade screwdriver with a blade less than 3 mm (0.1 in.).4 Plug the connected Euroblock plug into the socket in the speaker.5 Tighten the screw and then attach the terminal cover.3 Connect the Wiring to the ConnectorEuroblock plugTerminal screwLoosenFlat-bladescrewdriverTightenLess than 3 mm (0.1 in.)1 Take care not to trap the cable, carrying band, or safety wire whileslowly pushing the speaker up into the ceiling.Make sure the release lever is in the position of the figure below. If itis set to the position of the figure, when all the Anti-Drop tabs crossover the O-ring, the speaker is held temporarily.2 While slightly lifting up the speaker, turn the screwdriver clockwise totighten the attachment screw.The first turn of the attachment screw opens the clamp. Further turnsmove the clamp down the channel to pull the speaker up into theceiling.NoteWhen the clamp is difficult to open, turning the screwdriver halfwaycounterclockwise once will make it easier to open the clamp.CAUTION• Do not over-tighten the attachment screw. Otherwise, theattachment screw and clamp will break.• Do not turn any screws other than attachment screw. Otherwise,the speaker may fall or malfunction.4 Fix the Speakers onto the CeilingFor safety, use the screw hole on the speaker (M5 × 12 mm) andconnect the wire to an independent support point such as a joist.Example of the connection using an eye boltCAUTIONAlways take measures to prevent the speaker from falling down.Use a safety wire of appropriate length. Should the speaker fall and thewire is too long, the wire may snap due to excess strain.Safety wireEye boltScrew hole(M5 × 12 mm)Anti-Drop tab Carrying bandRelease lever Anti-Drop tabFixing screwClampSelect the line voltage/impedance (100 V/70 V/8Ω) and power tap for100 V/70 V line distributed system, by rotating the tap selector switch onthe front side of the speaker with a flat-blade screwdriver.CAUTION• The “X” position should not be selected. The 8Ω position should beselected for 8Ω audio systems only. If the setting is incorrect, it maycause malfunction of the speaker and amplifier.• Make sure the amplifier is switched off before operating the tap selectorswitch.Attach the string to the speaker as shown in the figure, then fit the grille tothe magnets (6 places) on the baffle front.CAUTIONThe grille may fall down if it is attached inadequately. Attach it firmly.Removing from the Ceiling1 Loosen the fixing screw by turning the screw counterclockwise.Loosen the screw and the clamp goes up, and as it reaches the top,the clamp closes as shown in figure below.2 While slightly lifting up the speaker, secure it by moving the releaselever of the baffle front to the direction of the arrow as shown in thefigure.3 Remove the safety wire from the speaker that is detached from theceiling.5 Set the Line Voltage/Impedance and Power6 Attach the GrilleClampIllustration indicates the setting at 15 W for 100 Vline and 7.5 W for 70 V line.MagnetCorrectly attachedIncorrectly attachedYamaha Pro Audio global web site:http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/Yamaha Manual Library:http://www.yamaha.co.jp/manual/Owner’s ManualSPEAKER SYSTEMEnglishZP40630EN DEAuf der Rückseite befindet sich die deutsche Version der Bedienungsanleitung.
