In-Wall Mounting Instructions Using Rails - BLUE SKY I/ON User Manual

USER MANUAL • 5 • IN-WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS USING RAILS
Figure 5
I/ON can be mounted in drywall using either the supplied wooden
rails or the supplied drywall anchors (mounting instructions for
when using drywall anchors is located on page 7). The rails are more
appropriate when the drywall is warped.
Note: I/ON can only be mounted in a wall where there are no electrical
wires, pipes, or bracing in the wall.
Mounting I/On in wall using supplied rails:
Step 1
Using the information on page 5, select the approximate
position where you want the speakers located. You will also
have to run a pair of speaker wires from the amplifier or
receiver to speaker location. The metal push terminals on
I/ON are compatible with the wires up to #8 AWG.
Step 2
Locate the studs. The best method for doing this is by using
an electronic stud finder. Follow instructions supplied with
the stud finder to locate the center and the edges of the stud
and mark them with a light pencil mark.
Step 3
Position the in-wall mounting template between the studs
so drywall cutout area clears the studs on both sides. If the
cutout interferes with the stud locations you will have to shift
the location of the speaker to clear the studs.
Step 4
Once the template is clear of the studs; tape it to the wall
using masking tape. Using a level, confirm that template is
plumb and level. Readjust if necessary.
Step 5 Drill ¼" holes in the 10 locations as indicated on the
template.

Step 6
Using a drywall saw, cut out the drywall on the inside of the
template marked "Cut out inside these lines".
Step 7
Remove the template from the wall
Step 8 Slide the mounting rails in the drywall and secure it to the
wall using the four flat head #10 Phillips head machine
screws. Screw these in the wall so the head is below the
surface.
Step 9 Locate the speaker wire in the wall. To prevent the wire from
falling into the wall cavity, you may want to attach the wire to
the studs using a plastic wire clamp (not supplied).
Step 10 Using the wire strippers, strip approximately 1/2 inch from
each of the wires. Insert the wires in the top or bottom push
terminals observing the proper polarity, where the wire going
to the red terminal I/ON goes to the positive terminal on the
amplifier which is normally the red terminal.
Step 11 Carefully slide the I/ON into the opening and secure to
the rails using 6- #10-32 X 2" pan head Phillips machine
screws.
