Using a Safety Cable
Some regional construction codes require the use of a secondary method of
securing loudspeakers to support structures to provide additional safety.
Choose a mounting position, method, and hardware consistent with local
building codes and regulations.
A safety cable can be attached to the loudspeaker using the threaded insert on
the back of the enclosure. The insert is sized for an M8 screw (not included)
with a depth of 15 millimeters (0.59 inches).
Installation Options
There are two pairs of slots used to secure the loudspeaker to the mounting
bracket, located on the back and side of the loudspeaker. There are two
different loudspeaker mounting positions: horizontal and vertical. See the
table to the right to choose the installation option best suited for your
installation.
Note: Installation in close proximity to cooking surfaces where the
loudspeaker may be directly exposed to cooking oils, such as in commercial
cooking environments, may decrease the performance or functionality of the
loudspeaker.
Installing the Bracket
Note: When choosing an installation location, at least one of the
mounting bracket’s attachment points must be secured to a support structure.
Attachment points not secured to a support structure must be secured using
appropriate hardware for the installation. Choose fasteners that are
consistent with all local building codes and requirements.
Note: Choose appropriate fasteners to support the weight of the
loudspeaker (16.10 kg [35.5 lb]).
- Mark the drill holes.
- Drill four holes (sized for appropriate fasteners) into the wall.
- Secure the bracket to the wall with four screws (not included). Note: Use M6 or 1/4-inch sized screws.
Wiring the Connector
- Feed the wires through the center hole of the bracket.
- Remove the connector from the loudspeaker.
- Wire the connector. For wiring information, see Wiring the Loudspeaker on page 4.

WARNING: Failure to follow the steps below could lead to an unsafe
mounting condition, which could create a falling hazard.
Note: A 6-millimeter hex key is required for proper installation.
- Attach the loudspeaker to the bracket by sliding the arms of the bracket into the slots on the loudspeaker, either on the back or side of the loudspeaker depending on your chosen loudspeaker position (see Installation Options on page 5).
- Insert one of the included M8 screws into the hole on each side of the loudspeaker.
- Tighten the screws using the hex key to secure the loudspeaker to the bracket.
- Insert one rubber cap into the hole on each side of the loudspeaker.
