Design Guide Supplement: Safety Cables
Before attempting installation, please read all instructions
& warnings in the installation guides for the product
& the safety cable.
Introduction
This document provides important information to system designers about the use of safety cables with certain Bose
loudspeakers in commercial cooking environments.
Bose has discovered that the mounting components on some of our loudspeakers can degrade and break when exposed
to certain substances. If the mounting components break, the loudspeaker could fall and result in personal injury or
property damage. Lubricants and cooking oil are the only substances to which the aected loudspeakers are likely to be
exposed at levels high enough to degrade their mounting components. Therefore, lubricants should never be used during
installation and loudspeakers that will be exposed to cooking oils must be installed with a safety cable.
Aected Products
All variants of the products listed here as well
as mounting accessories (such as pendant-
mount kits) are aected.
Flush-mount (In-ceiling) Models: Surface-mount Models:
EdgeMax EM90 FreeSpace DS 16S / 16SE
EdgeMax EM180 FreeSpace DS 40SE
FreeSpace DS 16F FreeSpace DS 100SE
FreeSpace DS 40F
FreeSpace DS 100F
FreeSpace 3 Flush-Mount Satellites
FreeSpace 3 Series II Acoustimass module
Applications
The loudspeaker requires a safety cable if it meets either of these conditions:
AIt is installed in the same room as a cooking surface. This means that the loudspeaker and cooking surface are not
separated by (1) full-height walls, (2) full-height doors, or (3) wall openings that are normally closed.
BIt is a flush-mount (in-ceiling) loudspeaker and is exposed to air from a room with a cooking surface via an HVAC
system with an above-ceiling plenum return. An HVAC system provides heating and cooling services to a building.
An above-ceiling plenum return is a separate space between the structural ceiling and a drop-down ceiling that
allows for air circulation for the HVAC system.
In the diagram above, the installed Bose loudspeakers are circled and numbered:
1The flush-mount loudspeaker in this dining area requires a safety cable.
2The surface-mount in this dining area does not require a safety cable.
3The flush-mount loudspeaker in this kitchen requires a safety cable.
4The surface-mount loudspeaker in this kitchen requires a safety cable.

Design Requirements When Using the Safety Cable
If the loudspeaker requires a safety cable, please note the following information to aid your
design process:
The safety cable must be wrapped securely around a building support structure. For
surface-mount loudspeakers, you may wrap the safety cable securely around a structural
attachment point, such as an eye screw above the loudspeaker, as an alternative.
After attaching the safety cable to both the loudspeaker and building support structure
(or attachment point), you must remove enough slack from the safety cable such that,
in the event of a fall, the top (rear) of the loudspeaker will drop to a distance of no more
than 152 millimeters (6 inches) below the ceiling (if it is a flush-mount loudspeaker, Fig.
A) or from its mounted location (if it is a surface-mount loudspeaker, Fig. B) before it is
retained by the safety cable.
Refer to the safety cable installation guide for detailed instructions and important safety
warnings when installing the safety cable.
Safety Cable Ordering & Specifications
When you purchase any of the aected products from Bose, a safety cable will be provided for each loudspeaker. To obtain
safety cables for loudspeakers that are already installed, visit BoseBMSSafety.com.
Bose can provide these two types of safety cable kits for free:

*The FreeSpace 3 Series II Acoustimass module requires the surface-mount safety cable kit as this model does not have attachment
points for the flush-mount safety cable.
If the safety cable provided by Bose is too short, you may substitute a longer safety cable only if it meets the specifications
listed below. Failure to meet these requirements could cause the loudspeaker to fall and result in personal injury or
property damage.
Material: Galvanized high-tensile steel to EN12385
Cable Diameter: 2mm (5/64in)
Strand Configuration: 7×7
If you are unable to install the Bose-provided cable or a longer substitute that meets the requirements that Bose has
provided, do not install the loudspeaker and return it to Bose for a refund. (This applies only to loudspeakers installed in
commercial cooking environments.)
