Step 5 - Mount The Speaker Into The Ceiling - Electro-Voice EVID-C4.2LP Installation Manual

EVID Ceiling Speaker Systems
Plenum cable
If plenum cable is used, slide the wiring through the strain relief fitting on the terminal cover
plate. Hold the strain relief fittings tight around the cable. Tighten the strain relief screws first,
then the horizontal screw. In the cases of insulated speaker wire and plenum cable, it is often
possible to provide acceptable strain relief force by simply tightening the strain relief screws
onto the terminal cover plate.

Alternate conduit fitting
If the installation used flexible (BX) or rigid (EMT) conduit, an alternate conduit fitting can be
used.
INSTALLATION NOTE: ALTERNATE CONDUIT FITTINGS
Some cases require alternate fittings, many of which are available through most electrical
suppliers. Simply remove the existing fitting by unscrewing the two hold-down screws,
exposing a 7/8-inch (22 mm) knockout hole. Then install the alternate fitting. Make sure to
always use a listed fitting in accordance with your area's building codes and regulations.

4.5 Step 5 — Mount the Speaker into the Ceiling
Push the speaker into the ceiling hole until the front baffle rim is flush with the ceiling. Tighten
the mounting tabs by turning the screw clockwise until the speaker is secure. Please note that
the first clockwise quarter-turn rotates the attachment tabs outward. The remaining turns
tighten the tabs down onto the back of the ceiling surface.
