Before you install

This product is designed to be installed in a ceiling as a source of light and sound. Never install the product in any other location or use it for any other purpose.
Installing Zuma requires working with mains voltage. If you are not competent working with mains voltage please call a registered certified electrician to install your system for you.
If you are comfortable working with mains voltage, before you start installing, please read the Installer Guide. This can be found in the product packaging and online, ready to download at zuma.ai/help.

2.1 Assessing the ceiling cavity
Zuma speakers are intended to be installed in ceilings of thickness between 1.2cm to 3cm. If your ceiling has a different construction or thickness outside of these limits, it is still possible to install Zuma. Check the Zuma help page on the Zuma website for more information and suggestions on installation in these structures.
Ensure that there is at least 13cm height in the ceiling to accommodate the product before commencing installation. If there is not enough clearance, check the Zuma Help page on the Zuma website for advice.
Before installing your Zuma units, check there are no electric cables, water pipes, or gas pipes within the area where you will be installing the Zuma units. If the space around Zuma is insulated, ensure that the insulation is cut back to allow 10cm clearance on all sides of Zuma. Ensure that there is no insulation above Zuma as per Fig 4.

2.2 Preparing ceiling cavity
Once you have established the installation spots, cut 95mm diameter holes in your ceiling in these locations.
For retrofit builds: Use a hole saw adapter to expand the existing hole to a 95mm diameter. Center it over the existing hole, and use a regular 95mm hole saw with a standard hand-held power drill to carefully cut through the ceiling using the central hole of the jig to guide you. For new builds: Use a regular 95 mm hole saw with a standard hand-held power drill to carefully cut through the ceiling.
2.3 Cleaning the work area
Once you have cut the holes and prepared the ceiling cavity, carefully dispose of the material you have removed from your ceilings such as plasterboard disks, insulation, and debris. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove all dust particles from the ceiling and floor areas.

 Wiring the power supplies

Turn off power at the consumer unit for the lighting circuit of each room where Zuma units will be installed.
3.1 Power supplies
Unscrew the cover on the main side of the power supply to access the terminal indicated in Fig 5. This site is noted 220-240V~.

3.2 Lighting circuit
Connect the live and neutral cables from the lighting circuit to the high voltage terminal (220-240V~) end of the power supply. Connect the live cable to the live terminal (L) and the neutral cable to the neutral terminal (N) as per Fig 6. Ensure the strain clamp on the cover secures the outer insulation to the cable.

Place the power supplies in the ceiling by slotting them through the holes and leaving the power plug hanging through the hole in the ceiling as per Fig 7.

Note: For optimum sound quality, ensure there are no slack cables that could vibrate in the ceiling cavity and attach the power supplies to a secure spot in the cavity such as a ceiling panel, joist, or above floorboards using strips of Velcro.

3.3 Removing the unit from the box.
Open the Zuma unit box and carefully remove the Zuma unit by gripping the edges of the front plate from the top as per Fig 8. Do not pull the unit by gripping the sides or removing the keys as this could result in injury as per Fig. 9.

Wiring in the Zuma units

Turn the unit upside down so that the rear cap is facing the ceiling. Raise to the ceiling where the power cable is hanging from the holes. With one hand, securely hold your Zuma unit, and with the other hand plug the cable coming from the power supply into the power socket on the rear cap as per Fig 10.

Still holding the Zuma unit in one hand, raise it so it is flush with the ceiling and with your free hand, pull out one key all the way followed by the second as per Fig 11. Your Zuma unit is now secured to the ceiling.

Note: Please keep at least one set of keys in a safe place in the instance that Zuma units need to be removed.
Attach the cosmetic bezel to your Zuma by aligning it with the magnets on the front face of the Zuma unit as per Fig 12.

Follow this process with every Zuma unit you install.
