Model 8 And Model 32 Loudspeakers
All versions meet all regulatory standards for ceiling loudspeakers and are UL
listed as vandal resistant. A 70V fire safety version of each model, available only
by special order, is also UL listed as a fire protective signaling device. Complete
safety agency listings and special requirements for fire protective signaling and
warning systems are contained in Appendix C, "Safety Requirements."
For seismic security, the loudspeaker enclosures and mounting pans have holes
for attaching security wires. Used with appropriate hardware, these attachment
points may qualify the loudspeakers as earthquake resistant. Check local building
codes.
In North American loudspeaker installations, both UL and CSA permit the use of
Class 2 wire (CL2, CL2P, or CL2R) for loudspeaker wire. If the wire passes through
a plenum, only CL2P is acceptable. Since most commercial ceiling spaces are
used as plenums, most installations will require CL2P. In risers such as vertical air
handling ducts or any through passage from floor to floor, CL2R is classified for
this use. To maintain compliance with plenum installations, use metallic electrical
connectors.
See Table 725-53 of the National Electric Code (NEC) for a list of acceptable wire
substitutes.
It is recommended that the fire marshall or building inspector be consulted before
installing these loudspeakers in air handling spaces (plenums) because some
areas require the use of metallic conduit or metallic tubing.

2.1 Unpacking the loudspeakers

Unpack the loudspeakers carefully (Figure 1). Save the carton and all packing
materials.
If any part appears damaged, do not install the loudspeakers. Repack them and
immediately notify Bose Service or your authorized Bose Professional Products
dealer.
For the most efficient installation, review this section and plan ahead before wiring
and installing Bose FreeSpace Model 8 or Model 32 loudspeakers.
