CONTOUR CT28 WALL & CEILING INSTALLATION
Before beginning this installation, it is necessary to
ascertain the construction type, load-bearing capability
and durability of the wall or surface. Bear in mind that
the CT28 speaker enclosure weighs 20 kg (44 lb),
and can be positioned in such a way as to extends
the mass of the enclosure out to perpendicular from
the mounting surface. Therefore the increased forces
imposed on the fixings and wall must be taken into
account.
Careful thought must be given to ensure that the
wall structure is strong enough to safely support the
total load with the proper Factor of Safety required
by local, state and national norms or legislation. If
the facility or venue is open to the public and the
mount is within reach of the public, the installer should
take into consideration possible miscreant behavior or
tampering when determining the appropriate factor of
safety. If the wall structure is deemed incapable of
supporting the load, consideration should be given to
strengthening and/or stabilizing the wall or adopting
an alternative method of installation. In the case of
any doubt, architects, structural engineers or other
specialists should be consulted.
Risk of Electric Shock
Drilling into hidden electrical wiring within walls can
result in serious injury or death, fires and property
damage.
BE AWARE OF WHAT YOU ARE DRILLING INTO.
Before drilling holes in any wall or surface, make sure
that it does not conceal electrical wiring or conduits.
Consult the wiring diagram of the facility or venue and
check for nearby outlets, switches or junction boxes
that could indicate concealed wiring, be it electrical
mains, network, telephone or other infrastructure.
Use Proper Eye, Ear, Head, Foot and Hand Protection
During Installation
This task requires the use of power tools and
potentially elevated loads.
All local and national norms, regulations and guidelines
must be followed during the installation procedures,
including the use of proper protective clothing and
gear.
Notice: Due to the wide variety of building materials and
construction methods that can be encountered in an installation,
1 Sound can only provide general recommendations for installing
the Wall Bracket. It is the responsibility of the installer to assess
the appropriate stability and sturdiness of the installation. This
includes verifying the positions of suitable studs, posts or framing
in the case of drywall mounts, verifying hollow points in masonry,
concrete block or solid concrete, and utilizing anchoring methods
and hardware appropriate for safe installation of the equipment
according to the construction material and depth of the mounting
surface. The responsibility rests with the installer to verify that
the installation is carried out in accordance with any applicable
legislation. In case of any doubt, architects, structural engineers
or other specialists should be consulted.
