INSTALLATION
When installing the speaker, use the optional mounting bracket for outdoor installation.
Also, take care about the following:
The bottom surface of the speaker has two air vents. Be
sure to mount the speaker with that side down, taking
care that such holes are not blocked.
As shown in the figure below, the speaker can be
positioned at any angle from 0° (horizontal) to a 45
°
downward angle. Do not exceed this range, nor direct
the speaker upward.
Caution:
Avoid installing the unit near the sea because its life is extremely shortened when used in locations affected by a
briny air.
Although the unit employs a splashproof construction for permanent outdoor
installation, the ambient operating temperature is from -15 °C to +50 °C.
When installing in the snowy area, take appropriate measures to prevent snow from
lying on the unit. If the ambient temperature exceeds -15°C or +50 °C or if the snow
lies on the unit, the speaker may fall, causing personal injuries.
CONNECTION
Polarity
When connecting the speaker cables,
observe the polarity shown at right.
Impedance Switching (Available for F-505WP and F-605WP)
The speaker input impedance can be switched in 4 steps with
a built-in impedance selector (rotary switch).
See the table below.
Note:
The impedance is factory-preset to position 3.
To switch the impedance, remove the rear-mounted water protection cap and set the impedance selector to the desired
impedance using a screwdriver.
Be sure to fit the water protection cap in place after setting the impedance.
When connecting the speaker to 100 V line, do not place the impedance selector in position 4 because this can be
cause failure or breakdowns of the speaker, having the bad effect on the amplifier as well.
