Air Handling Spaces Ul2043; Suspended Installation - Algo 8188 User Manual

With connections made, lift the housing into the ceiling and tighten the 4 clamps using a
#2 Phillips screwdriver until snug.
Do NOT over-tighten the clamps. If the clamp screws are over-tightened after the trim
ring is snug, the trim ring may detach from the housing requiring the speaker to be re-
moved from the ceiling and the trim ring re-attached.
After installation and testing, gently work 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 tool supplied with the 8188 SIP 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.

Air Handling Spaces UL2043

The 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker was tested and found to be compliant with UL2043 requirements
by an independent NRTL registered lab and is therefore suitable for installation in air handling
spaces. A copy of the test report is available by request.

Suspended Installation

To suspend the 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker from a ceiling or truss you will need additional
materials not included with the speaker:

¼" x20 Redi-Rod or Eyebolt

Thread locking adhesive

Load bearing cable or chain
For suspended installations, the trim ring is not used. The four clamps may also be re-
moved for aesthetics. The back housing and grill may be painted if desired but ensure the
speaker and wire connectors are properly masked.
Apply a thread locking adhesive and install a ¼-20 eyebolt (not included) into the threaded
nut insert on the top of the speaker housing. Screw the eye-bolt in completely (3/8") and
use a thread locking adhesive to prevent the bolt from working itself out.
Suspend the speaker using chain or cable rated to support at least 3 x the weight of the
speaker and preferably capable of supporting 200 lb (91 kg) loads in case the speaker is
used for support while on a ladder. Secure the cable or chain to the speaker and ceiling or
truss properly to ensure a safe installation.
Wiring exits from the protective cover towards the center of the housing to be run up the
cable or chain and dressed neatly using cable ties.
