- Ensure all connections are secure and free from short circuits.
Note: The specific wiring configuration (screw-terminal bridge or bare wire connections) may vary slightly by model. Always verify the connections based on the labels on your specific unit.
Operating Instructions
Once installed and wired, the Bogen Ceiling Speaker Assembly is ready for operation. The recessed volume control allows for localized adjustment of the speaker's output level.
Volume Control
- The speaker features a recessed volume control located in the center of the grille. This design helps prevent inadvertent volume adjustments.
- To adjust the volume, use a small flat-head screwdriver or a similar tool to gently turn the control dial clockwise to increase volume and counter-clockwise to decrease volume.
- Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level for background music or to an appropriate level for paging announcements.
The speaker has a frequency response of 70Hz to 15kHz, making it suitable for clear voice reproduction in paging systems and balanced audio for background music.
Maintenance
The Bogen Ceiling Speaker Assembly requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-term performance.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the grille and visible surfaces with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no moisture enters the speaker assembly. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Annually inspect the speaker for any visible damage to the grille or frame. Check wiring connections for tightness and corrosion, especially if the speaker is in an environment with fluctuating temperatures or humidity.
- Environmental Conditions: This speaker is designed for indoor use. Avoid exposing the speaker to excessive moisture, extreme temperatures, or direct sunlight, as these can degrade performance and lifespan.
