Installation & Mounting - Algo 8186 User Manual

Installation & Mounting
The 8186 SIP Horn Speaker can be wall or ceiling mounted. Concealed wiring may enter
from the wall into the wiring cavity. Alternatively, surface wiring may enter through a
channel from the bottom edge. The channel is intended for cabling 0.2" or 5mm in
diameter and is intentionally snug to protect against moisture ingress.
The 8186 SIP Horn Speaker can be mounted in any orientation but both the bracket and
housing must identify TOP. This keeps the bracket wiring channel on the bottom and the
RJ45 jack on the top side. Moreover, water needs to be able to drain through the bottom
of the mounting plate, so its orientation is extremely important.
The mounting plate may be used to mount over flush or surface mounted electrical boxes
or mud rings and fits securely to a 2 gang electrical box (not included) for installation with
wiring conduit.
The 8186 SIP Horn Speaker is rated IP65 for wet locations however care must be taken to
ensure that water does not enter the wiring cavity. The supplied gaskets or sealant must
be used to protect the wiring cavity in wet environments. If sealant is used, ensure the
bottom center area of the mounting plate is not obstructed, as water may need to drain
out. In dry indoor environments the gaskets are not required. If the wall gasket is used
with surface wiring then the gasket should be attached after placing the cable into the
wiring channel.
The 8186 SIP Horn Speaker should not be installed beyond a building perimeter without
adequately protecting the building wiring from lightning surges.
