Installation  
The HFCS1 and HFCS1LP can be installed in a variety of ceiling environments.The  
use of the TBCR (Tile Bridge Support Ring) accessory may be desired for many of  
these.  
For suspended ceilings, the use of a TBCR is strongly recommended to  
help support and distribute the weight of the speaker.  
In new construction installations the TBCR, installed before sheetrock, acts as a  
routing template that ensures an accurate and neat hole for installation.The TBCR  
can also be used as a support ring in retrofit applications to better distribute the  
speaker’s clamping forces.  
IMPORTANT  
The HFCS1 requires a minimum of 11" of vertical clearance between the  
FRONT of the mounting surface and any other structure for the speaker to  
fit.The HFCS1LP requires a minimum of 6-¾" of vertical clearance.  
Before cutting the full hole, use a smaller exploratory hole to determine if  
there are any obstructions.  
The edge of the hole must be a minimum of 1-¼" away from any side obstruc-  
tions to ensure that they will not interfere with the action of the clamps.  
1. Begin by cutting a 10-¾" circular hole where the speaker will be installed. If  
using a TBCR, then follow its installation instructions for the specific type of envi-  
ronment the speaker is being installed in.  
2. Make electrical connections to the pluggable terminal strip and plug it onto the  
speaker. See SpeakerWiring section.  
3. Install terminal cover plates, if necessary or desired, using 4 screws. See the  
Terminal Covers section if using conduit or if it is required to secure the speaker  
directly to the structure (typically for suspended ceilings).  
4. Remove the speaker’s grille (if neccessary). See Speaker Grille Installation &  
Removal section.  
5. Set the power level using the rotary selector switch on the front panel. Refer to  
the Selecting Power Levels section for instructions on selecting the power level.  
6. Position the swing-out clamps so that they are against the body of the speaker  
and insert the speaker into its opening in the ceiling.  
7. Tighten the clamps by turning the clamping screws clockwise. Do not over-tighten  
the clamps - only tighten until the speaker is fairly snug in the mounting hole. If  
using an electric driver, set the clutch on the driver to the lowest setting.  
8. (Re)install the speaker’s grille. See Speaker Grille Installation & Removal section.

Speaker Wiring  
All wiring should be done prior to installation  
and then plugged into the rear of the speaker.  
Wiring is terminated at a snap-lock input con-  
nector.There are two positive and two nega-  
tive terminals to accommodate daisy-chaining  
of speakers in a system.  
Daisy-Chaining  
The snap-lock input connector allows for easy  
daisy-chaining of speakers by providing a sec-  
ond terminal of each polarity. See the figures  
to the right and below for correct wiring for  
daisy-chaining of terminals.  
Speaker Polarity  
Keep the same polarity terminals wired together to ensure correct speaker polari-  
ty. In order to provide the best possible sound, all speakers in a system need to be  
pushing out and pulling in at the same time.Therefore all must be wired with the  
same polarity.  
If the connections to one speaker in a system are reversed from the others, that  
speaker’s movement will be out of polarity with the other speakers.This results in a  
loss of low frequency response and will effect the overall performance of the system.  
Terminal Covers  
The two terminal cover halves are attached to the back of the speaker using 4  
screws. It is important that all 4 screws be used to mount the covers.  
A slot between the two halves allows the wire to exit the speaker while  
protecting the connections.The cover's eyelets can be used to anchor the wire  
using a wire tie if desired.  
If local codes require the use of a conduit for connections or strain relief of the  
connections, a knockout can be removed and a proper fitting installed for the  
particular situation.  
Eyelets are provided on the terminal covers to provide a means of securing the  
speaker to the structure. It is important that all 4 terminal cover screws be  
installed in this application.A Bogen Model CK10 cable will accomplish this.

Selecting Power Levels  
The front-mounted selector switch is used to  
set the appropriate power level or impedance  
for your system. Using a small, flat-blade  
screwdriver, turn the knob until the slot points  
to the power level you require.  
70V/100V Systems  
Both power setting scales for 70V and 100V  
systems are labeled on the speakers. On the  
100V scale, the last position clockwise is marked  
with a  
symbol. Do not use this position in  
100V systems.  
16-ohm Systems  
The fully counterclockwise position of the setting switch is the 16-ohm position.This  
setting is suitable for use with low-impedance amplifiers that typically support 4- or  
8-ohm speakers.The speaker’s higher,16-ohm impedance makes it easier to combine  
multiple speakers into series-parallel networks while keeping the total system  
impedance at a level suitable for low-impedance amplifiers.  
Speaker Grille Installation & Removal  
Installation  
The speaker grille fits tightly! Push the speaker grille  
in until it can go no further. Then, slap around the  
edge of the grille to seat the grille.The grille is prop-  
erly seated when it is flush with the edge of the bezel.  
Removal  
Insert a pocketknife blade between the grille and the  
1
bezel about /4" deep and then gently pry the grille  
upwards. Do this in multiple places around the  
circumference of the grille to free the grille.
