Preparing the Weather-resistant Input Cover
The weather-resistant input cover is designed for three different wiring scenarios (see above). To change the configuration of the input cover to support your wiring scenario, cut along the perforation on the rubber conduit.
Note: Indoor-only applications do not require use of the input cover

Note: If installing the loudspeaker with the rubber conduit facing upward, it is the installer’s responsibility to seal against water ingress into the Euroblock connector

Note: If using the wide open rubber conduit configuration, it is the installer’s responsibility to seal against water ingress into the Euroblock connector

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).

Loudspeaker Orientation

Choose the loudspeaker orientation best suited for your installation.

1. Horizontal
   

2. Vertical
   
   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 two 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 (6.40  kg[14.1 lb]).

1. Mark the drill holes.
   

2. Drill four holes (sized for appropriate fasteners) into the wall.
   

3. Secure the bracket to the wall with four screws (not included).
   
   Note: Use M5 or #10 sized screws

Wiring the Connector

1. Feed the wires through the center hole of the bracket.
   

2. Remove the connector from the loudspeaker.

3. For outdoor installations, insert the wires through the bottom of the input cover. See Preparing the Weatherresistant Input Cover on.

4. Wire the connector. For wiring information, see Wiring the Loudspeaker on.

Important Mounting Information

1. Bracket lock tabs: Used to secure the loudspeaker angle.
2. Grille release tabs: Used to secure the grille to the loudspeaker.
3. Lock blockers: Used to secure the loudspeaker to the mounting bracket.
4. Angle labels (on bracket): Identify your desired angle position.
