Ceiling Installation

The 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker is intended to be mounted in a T-bar
acoustic tile or gypsum ceiling. The speaker may also be suspended using
a chain or cable (see section – Suspended Installation).
For more secure installations, optional T-Bar support bracket (8188TBR)
or Ceiling Tile 2'x2' Panel (8188T2x2) are available that can transfer the
speaker weight onto the T-bar rails. Installation instructions are provided
with the support bracket.
The speaker is shipped with the metal protective grill removed for
convenience. This provides access to the four Phillips head screws that
operate the four clamps. The clamp screws must be sufficiently loose to
allow clamps to rotate and clear the ceiling material thickness. When
tightened, the clamps are locked to prevent rotating. Removal of the
speaker from the ceiling requires the clamps to be sufficiently loosened
before they can rotate in to pass through the 8" (20.5cm) hole.
The removable trim ring must be snapped into location flush with the front
surface of the speaker. Lay the trim ring on a flat surface with the ribs
facing down and place the speaker in the middle with the speaker facing
up. Align the four tabs with the cavities on the speaker housing and slide
the trim ring up the speaker housing until it snaps into place flush with the
top.
An 8" (20.5 cm) round hole is required in the ceiling. The wiring
connections are easiest made prior to mounting if possible.
Network connection is made by inserting a RJ45 plug into the jack on top
of the housing. Wire connections for relay input and output (if used) are
made using the 4 position pluggable terminal block provided.
The protective wiring cover may be attached after connections are made.
The cover helps prevent any water drips from HVAC or roof leaks from
