12 SAFETY NOTE:
In order to comply with relevant fire safety regulations (i.e. BS 5839:1998), it is required that in the event of fire,
that failure of the circuit to which the loudspeaker is connected does not occur before evacuation of the building is
complete. Suitable measures include: -
a) use of terminal blocks (for connection to primary) with a melting point of not less than 650°C, for example
constructed from ceramic materials;
b) use of terminal blocks of a lower melting point but protected with thermal insulation;
) use of terminal blocks such that, on melting, an open-circuit or a short-circuit does not occur.

3. SAFETY NOTICES
Some regional construction codes require the use of a secondary method of securing loudspeakers
in ceiling to provide security of a back up support. A secondary support line should be attached from
the safety loop on the rear of the product to a source point on the ceiling. For PI models, the secondary
support line should be attached from the back of the driver chasis to a source point on the ceiling. Please
consult the relevant construction codes in your region.
.
When using a power driver to install the product it is essential to use the correct torque level settings
to avoid over tightening and damage to the ceiling material or clamps.
Recommended torque setting: 1.5Nm
Tannoy will not be held responsible for any damages caused by the improper installation of these
loudspeakers.
Electrical Safety Notice: to comply with the standard UL1480, metal-clad flexible conduit (BX) is
required for connection to the terminal block for proper earth grounding.
In order to comply with UL regulations, the PI back-can must always be used with the CMS PI models.

7. WIRING AND SETTING UP:
All CMS 601 models use a 60W transformer. When using distributed-line systems, the
transformer can be tapped at 60W, 30W, and 15W, with an additional 7.5W tapping for
70.7V line systems.
4
Open the wiring cover at the back of the speaker can to access the Euro type connector
plug and socket.
1
For connection to an amplifier, use pins 1 and 2:
• Pin 1 is positive
• Pin 2 is negative
For connection to additional speakers in a distributed line,
pins 3 and 4 are in parallel where:
• Pin 3 is negative
• Pin 4 is positive
2
Close the wiring cover and tighten both screws on the cable clamp. Use the rotary
switch located on the front of the unit to select whether you wish to use the speaker in
a low-impedance or distributed-line application.

CMS 501 models TEMPLATE HOLE CUTOUT SIZE: 190mm
THE SPEAKER IS SUPPLIED IN LOW IMPEDANCE MODE. NEVER CONNECT THE
SPEAKER TO A 70/100 VOLTAMPLIFIER WHILE IT IS SET FOR LOW IMPEDANCE.
All CMS 501 models use a 30W transformer. When using distributed-line systems, the
transformer can be tapped at 30W, 15W and 7.5W, with an additional 3.75W tapping
for 70.7V line systems.

10. PAINTING
If desired, the grille and baffle panel may be painted to match the surrounding décor.
Painting the baffle:
Carefully mask off the driver assembly using the paint-mask provided to ensure that the paint does not come into
contact with the cone and roll surround.
Apply several thin coats of paint – this will provide a better finish than one overly thick coat.
Painting the grille:
Carefully remove the acoustically transparent foam from the reverse side of the grille.
Paint the grille and then replace the foam - several thin coats of paint will provide a better finish than one
overly thick coat.
Re-bond the foam to the grille over the entire area using a light spray-adhesive to avoid audible resonances.
