2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The F-2852C is a 2-way, flush-mounted ceiling speaker that offers a wide frequency range and high-quality  
sound output.  
Use of its supplied and optional mounting hardware permits versatile mounting to match a wide range of  
applications and installation locations.  
3. FEATURES  
• Two-way, bass-reflex speaker system designed to provide a wide frequency range and high power handling  
capability.  
• Ideal for locations that have high ceilings or require true-to-life sounds.  
• Uniform sound output levels are achievable not only in the position directly under the speaker, but also over  
a wide radius. (Coverage angle is approximately 110°.)  
• Because the speaker is provided with both low- and high-impedance operating capability, it can be used in  
many different applications. Front panel-mounted input selector switch permits easy verification and change  
of current impedance settings, even after installation.  
• Easy installation. Can be quickly and accurately mounted to ceilings and walls.  
• Rotating front grille can be installed quickly and conveniently.  
• Attractive exterior design specially created by an interior designer blends naturally with any architectural  
space, enhancing the immediate area's sense of harmony.  
• Optional mounting hardware permits installation in weak ceiling panels.

and insert it through the mounting hole in the  
ceiling panel, then open it with its tabs facing up.  
Place the ring on the ceiling panel aligning it with  
the mounting hole.

3-2. Mounting to a ceiling frame  
Use the supplied ceiling reinforcement ring in conjunction with the optional HY-TB1 Tile Bar Bridge.  
Note  
Refer to the instruction manual included with the HY-TB1 for the correct ceiling mounting procedure.

To attach, tie one end of the supplied  
safety wire around the speaker's safety  
wire hook, and tie its snap ring around

Step 6. Mount the speaker.  
Caution  
In  
Before mounting, check to be sure that the speaker's  
4 mounting tabs are turned inside the unit as shown in  
the figure.  
Out  
If turned outward, the speaker cannot be inserted  
through the mounting hole.

6-1. Insert the speaker through the mounting hole till it contacts the ceiling panel.  
While doing so, avoid directly touching the speaker's  
diaphragm and tweeter.

WARNING  
Never grab the tweeter section as a hand hold.  
The speaker could fall due to damage, resulting  
in possible personal injury.

6-2. Rotate and tighten the mounting tab axis screws (4 places) on the unit clockwise to their full stop in  
order to grip the ceiling panel with the mounting tabs.

Use an electric screwdriver to tighten.  
(Tightening torque: 6 10 kgf·cm)  
Step 7. Set the input power.  
Turn the input selector switch (on the unit's front) to set  
it to the desired input impedance.  
(Factory-preset to 170 .)  
Important  
Never set this switch to low-impedance (8 or 16 )  
settings when using a high-impedance 25, 70, or 100 V  
line. Failure to follow this instruction could result in  
damage to the speaker or amplifier.  
Step 8. Attach the front grille.  
Align the tabs (4 places) on the back side of the  
Speaker  
unit  
grille with the corresponding notches in the unit,  
then rotate the grille to full stop in the direction  
indicated by the "LOCK" arrow.  
Tip  
The front grille employs a double-locking system  
that clicks into place once partway through  
rotation, but only locks into position at its point of  
full rotation. Always be sure to rotate the grille to  
its full stop.

6. REMOVING THE SPEAKER FOR MAINTENANCE  
6.1. Detaching the Front Grille  
1
Unlock  
Turn the front grille counterclockwise to full stop, then lightly  
pull it downward.  
Tip  
The front grille employs a double-locking system.  
If the grille cannot be detached when lightly pulled downward,  
it likely has not yet been fully rotated back to the detachment  
position. In such cases, take care to rotate the grill fully  
counterclockwise in order to release the lock.

Pull lightly.

6.2. Removing the Speaker  
Rotate the 4 mounting tab axis screws counterclockwise. The mounting tabs rise as they turn, allowing the  
speaker to be removed.  
Caution  
When loosening the mounting tab axis screws, support the speaker by hand to prevent it from falling.  
Screw cap  
Mounting tab  
Mounting tab axis screw  
Use an electric screwdriver to detach.  
Caution  
Be sure to set the screwdriver's torque for under 4 kgf·cm.  
Failure to do so may cause the Screw cap and the Mounting tab to fall off  
on the rear of ceiling panel.

7. REPAINTING THE SPEAKER  
Follow the procedure below when repainting the front grille:  
Step 1. Clean the front grille before painting.  
Wipe with a soft cloth dampened in a detergent.  
Caution  
Do not use thinner or other volatile liquids to clean the grille.  
Step 2. Spray on a uniform, thin coat of paint.  
Cautions  
Avoid painting with a roller or brush, as the grille mesh holes could become clogged with paint.  
Use appropriate spray paints for the front grille (grille and frame) materials.  
Grille: Rolled steel plate  
Frame: Fire-resistant ABS resin (acrylic paint)  
Be sure to follow the directions indicated on the paint when painting.  
Step 3. After the paint has dried, apply another light coat.  
Caution  
Repeating Step 2, apply two or more light coats of paint.  
Application of one thick coat of paint all at once may cause drips or unevenness to show up in the  
painted finish, or clog the mesh holes.  
8. ABOUT THE INPUT OVERLOAD PROTECTION CIRCUITRY  
The F-2852C features internal input overload protection circuitry. If an extremely high input level is fed to the  
unit, the protection circuitry automatically cuts off the signal to the speaker element.  
A drastic reduction in sound volume indicates that the protection circuitry has been enabled.  
In such cases, simply reduce the amplifier volume. The protection circuitry will automatically reset in  
approximately 10 seconds. After reset, try to maintain the volume at a level slightly lower than before.  
Caution  
This protection circuitry does not completely protect the unit against extremely high input power levels.  
Depending on the type or duration of excessive power input, the protection circuitry might not be enabled,  
resulting in damage to the speaker element. Also, if the excessive power input continues for a long period of  
time, the circuitry may not be capable of resetting to its original condition.  
Use the system with care so that the speakers are not exposed to excessive power input.
