A.
GENERAL.
Models BP100 and BP100P are compact speakers
designed to be mounted using Federal compact speaker
mounting systems. It is strongly recommended that one of
these mounting systems be utilized.
If the BP100 or BP100P is installed using another
mounting system, the safety and effectiveness of the
installation must be carefully evaluated.
B.
UNPACKING.
After unpacking the unit, inspect it for damage that
may have occurred in transit. If the unit has been dam-
aged, do not attempt to install or operate it. File a claim
immediately with the carrier, stating the extent of damage.
Carefully check all envelopes, shipping labels and tags
before removing or destroying them.
C.
INSTALLATION.
1.
Select an appropriate mounting location which
provides both adequate support and sufficient clearance for
the speaker assembly. In addition, the mounting location
should provide maximum signalling effectiveness while
minimizing the sound reaching the vehicle’s occupants.
2.
When using a Federal Mounting System, refer to
the instructions packed with the mounting system for
installation details.
3.
If a Federal Mounting System (refer to paragraph
A.) is not used for installation, proceed as follows:
NOTE
Because of the variety of vehicles and possible
mounting arrangements, installation details and
mounting bracket fabrication must be determined
by the installer.
a.
Fabricate the necessary mounting bracket.
NOTE
To prevent the speaker cone and driver from
falling out of the casting while performing steps
C.3.b. and C.3.c., place the speaker face down on
the packing carton prior to removing the screws.
b.
Remove the four screws and eight spacers
from the back of the speaker (see figure 1). Retain the
screws and four of the spacers.
WARNING
To avoid reduction of sound output and damage to
speaker, ensure that speaker is mounted with
wires protruding from bottom of unit.
c.
See figure 1. Assemble the fabricated mount-
ing bracket to the speaker using four user-supplied 1/4"
split lockwashers and previously removed screws. If the
mounting bracket is less than 1/8" thick, use four of the
previously removed spacers. When the bracket is 1/8" thick,
discard the spacers.
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury and/or damage to
unit, an assistant should help handle the as-
sembled unit.
d.
Install the assembled unit at the previously
selected mounting location.
e.
Connect the two leads from the speaker to the
electronic siren’s speaker cable. When two speakers are
used, it is necessary to connect them in-phase. This can be
accomplished by connecting the two speaker leads marked
“1” to the same lead of the siren’s speaker cable, and the
two speaker leads marked “2” to the other lead of the
siren’s speaker cable. Refer to the instructions packed with
the electronic siren for additional details.
WARNING
All effective sirens and horns produce loud sounds
(120 dB) that may cause permanent hearing loss.
Always minimize your exposure to siren sound and
wear hearing protection. Do not sound the siren
indoors or in enclosed areas where you and others
will be exposed to the sound.
f.
Test the speaker(s) for proper operation.
