Installation and Mounting

Ceiling or Wall Installation
The 40-IP Ceiling Speaker is intended to be mounted in a T-bar acoustic tile, gypsum ceiling or wall.
An optional T-Bar support bracket (SA-TBA) is available that can transfer the speaker weight onto
the T-bar rails. Installation instructions are provided with the support bracket. The metal protective
speaker grill must be removed to access the four Phillips head screws that operate the four clamps.
A small wire speaker grill removal tool is provided to remove the grill. 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 9.5" hole 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 the side of the housing. Wire
connections for relay input, switch input, speaker output and line level output (if used) are made
using the 4 position pluggable terminal block provided. The back box helps prevent plenum dust
from entering the enclosure. With connections made, lift the housing into the ceiling and tighten the
4 clamps using a #2 Phillips screwdriver until snug. After installation and testing the speaker grill
can then be fastened by adding grill adhesive (provided with grill removal tool) to 4 edges of grill
then gently working the speaker grill into its friction fit position and ensure it is evenly flush to the
housing around the edge. The speaker grill is intentionally tight to prevent falling from the ceiling. A
speaker grill removal tool supplied with the 40-IP Ceiling Speaker can be used to remove the grill.
If lost, a small Allen key or heavy duty paperclip bent into an L shape can be used to remove the
grill by pulling close to the edge.
