Installation
Suspend the Loudspeaker
WARNING!: Do not attach the snap hook to the loudspeaker or any other
load until the hanger cable has been anchored to a suitable structural member.
-
Insert the wire cable into the appropriate hole in the fastener (see Figure 2). The fastener’s two holes are directional so that the cable will only insert one way; if it will not go through, the cable is inserted into the wrong hole.
-
Loop the cable over the structural member where the loudspeaker is to hang. The structure must be capable of supporting at least 5× the weight of the loudspeaker NL-P4: 17.5 lb or 8 kg.
NOTE: Building codes in some jurisdictions may require higher safety factors. -
Insert the cable through the other hole in the fastener.
-
Adjust the length of the cable hang so the snap hook is at the desired height. To shorten the hang, simply pull the cable further through one or both holes in the fastener (Figure 3). To lengthen the hang or to remove the cable from the structural member, insert the release key into the appropriate release keyhole; this will unlock that hole in the fastener and allow the cable to move in the other direction (Figure 4).
WARNING!: Never insert the release key while there is a load on the hanger cable.
-
Attach the snap hook to the suspension tab on the loudspeaker (Figure 5). Make sure the safety latch on the hook closes fully with the loudspeaker attached before you transfer the weight of the loudspeaker to the cable.
Wire the Loudspeakers
Refer to Figure 6.
- On the top of the enclosure, remove the protective cover for the input connector.
- Pass the unterminated CAT cable through the protective cover and terminate with an RJ45 connector. Plug the RJ45 connector securely into the jack.
- Reinstall the protective cover.
Confirm Connections
- Once the NL-P4 is connected to a suitable PoE/PoE+ network switch or midspan injector, check the RJ45 jack LEDs for network status.
