Installing the Speaker System in a Suspended Ceiling — Single Installer

If a single installer is installing the speaker system, follow this procedure for the entire system:

1. Disconnect power — Power down all attached devices before proceeding.

2. Verify the space where the system will be installed — Ensure that there is sufficient

clearance above the ceiling tile for the unit to be installed.

3. Cut a hole for the speaker — Use the provided cutout template to outline the hole to

be cut in the ceiling tile as described below.

a. Remove the ceiling tile.

b. To find the center of the tile, use a tape measure to measure the space between

two opposite corners, and mark the half-way point.

c. Position the center hole of the cutout template directly over the center of the tile

that you marked in step3b.

d. Using the provided cutout template, trace a circle around the

cutout template.

e. Cut out the circle traced on the ceiling tile.

f. Replace the tile in the ceiling.

4. Attach two V-rails and one C-ring across the tile above the hole

cut in step 3, as described below.

a. Assemble two V-rail half sections so that they become one single piece:

i. Fit the tab of one end into the slot of the other end.

ii. Open the V-rail until it locks together.

iii. Repeat this procedure for the other V-rail.

Figure 2. Assembling the V-rails

SF 3C LP and SF 3CT LP User Guide • Installation 5

b. Remove a ceiling tile adjacent to the tile with the hole.

c. Place both assembled V-rails on the cut ceiling tile and position them equally on

either side of the hole. The ends of the V-rails go over the ceiling grid.

d. Position the C-ring assembly on the two V-rails so that the C-ring is centered over

the hole, as shown below.

Figure 7. Attaching the Speaker Wires to the Connector

SF 3C LP and SF 3CT LP User Guide • Installation 9

ATTENTION:

• Do not tin the wire leads before installing into the connector. Tinned wires

are not as secure in the connector and could be pulled out.

• Ne pas étamer les conducteurs avant de les insérer dans le connecteur.

Les câbles étamés ne sont pas aussi bien ﬁxés dans le connecteur et

pourraient être retirés.

• When connecting multiple speakers in 8-ohm mode, be sure that the

combined rated impedance does not equal a value less than the minimum

rated impedance of the amplifier.

• Lors de la connexion de plusieurs enceintes en mode 8ohm, assurez vous

que le niveau d’impédance combinée ne soit pas équivalent à une valeur

inférieure à l’impédance minimum de l’amplificateur.

f. Insert the captive screw plug into the four-pole receptacle of the speaker.

g. Replace the cable conduit access plate and tighten the two retaining screws.

NOTE: The cable conduit access plate can be positioned in one of two ways

depending on installer preference. Flip the plate to the desired position with

the wire openings either on the side or on the top of the speaker enclosure

before tightening the screws.

As examples:

• The side access wire opening can be useful in low profile installations.

• The top access wire opening can be more convenient to use.

OR

h. Tighten the cable clamp if it was used.

Tightening the locking arms into rigid material:

Each of the three locking arm screws use an Opti-Torque indicator ring that snaps

and separates from its plastic ring when the screw is tightened to the correct

torque. The indicator ring falls down the screwdriver shaft. When this occurs, stop

tightening the screw to avoid overtightening the locking arms to the C-ring.

ATTENTION:

• To avoid damaging the speaker, do not overtighten the three screws.

• Pour éviter d’endommager l’enceinte, ne serrez pas trop les trois vis.

SF 3C LP and SF 3CT LP User Guide • Installation 12

Tightening the locking arms into soft material:

Because fiberglass ceilings and other soft materials are not as rigid as mineral tiles

and other hard materials, the Opti-Torque indicator rings must not be used as a

tightening guide due to the risk of overtightening.

ATTENTION:

• To avoid damaging or deforming soft ceiling material, tighten the locking

arms to secure the speaker, but short of causing the speaker to deform

the ﬂat mounting surface of the ceiling, as seen from below.

• Aﬁn de ne pas endommager ni d’altérer un plafond souple, serrez les bras

de verrouillage pour sécuriser l’enceinte, en veillant cependant à ce que

l’unité ne cause l’altération de la surface de montage plane du plafond,

comme illustré ci-dessous.

using a small screwdriver.

ATTENTION:

• When setting the taps for a distributed (high impedance) system, do not tap

the system above the rated power of the amplifier.

• Lors de la mise en place des capteurs pour un système distribué (haute

impédance), n’exploitez pas le système au delà du niveau d’alimentation de

l’ampliﬁcateur.

• When connecting multiple speakers in 8-ohm mode, be sure that the combined

rated impedance does not equal a value less than the minimum rated

impedance of the amplifier.
