The next step is to attach the speaker wires to the
3
appropriate taps (wires) located on the back of the
speaker. The speaker will also work perfectly well
with these connections reversed. However, it is
important to be consistent in the wiring of the
speakers in the system. If adjacent speakers have
reversed wiring connections, they will tend to can-
cel each other's bass response, diminishing the
sound quality.
Note: With 70V speakers select the lowest tap set-
ting ( 1 /4W) before testing the speakers. This ensures
that nobody will be "blasted" when a page is made for
the first time.
Based on specific area dB levels, select the desired
power tap settings:
Green = 1/4W
Yellow = 1/2W
Orange = 1W
Red = 2W
Brown = 4W
Connect the power tap wire (use supplied crimp-
type connector) to the (+) side of the paging
system.
Install the (-) side of the paging system (use sup-
plied crimp-type connector) to the black common
lead.
Individually tape or clip each tip of exposed wire
on the unused power taps and place them neatly
around the speaker housing. This will ensure that
there will not be any shorts/grounds or wattage
problems in the speaker enclosure or wire run.
Note: Use 22 AWG shielded, twisted pair on all
wire runs. Com Code: 401882956. Pec Code:
2734-SPK. Connect speaker wire shield to the
ground (GND) terminal of the amplifier's output.
Carry the ground through all speaker cables by
tying the shields of the speaker cables together in
a "daisy chain" fashion. Do not connect the
shield to the speaker itself. The shield is only
connected at the amplifier end and simply floats.

Secure the speaker/face plate assembly to the
mounted enclosure. Use four 1" screws (included).
