Installation Refer to the following sections for instructions on how to install Saros® 3 in. in-ceiling speakers. This section provides the following information: • SAROS DM-NAX-IC4A-W Installation • SAROS IC4P-W Installation SAROS DM-NAX-IC4A-W Installation Refer to the following sections to install the SAROS DM-NAX-IC4A-W.
If there are no obstructions, use the supplied template to trace an outline of the mounting hole on the ceiling. Cut the final mounting hole at a 90° angle to the ceiling. For drop tile ceilings, remove the ceiling tile and place on a flat surface to trace the mounting hole. For drywall or standard construction ceilings, use the template to trace the mounting hole directly on the ceiling.
Install the Ethernet Cable Run an Ethernet cable (not included) from a managed POE+ compliant network switch to the speaker location, observing all appropriate local codes. Connect the Ethernet Cable Connect the Network/POE+ port to a managed network switch to apply power and configure the device.
Connect the Output Category Cables (Optional) CAUTION: The RJ-45 OUTPUT ports of the SAROS DM-NAX-IC4A-W should only be connected to the RJ-45 INPUT ports of SAROS IC4P-W speakers. These connectors carry up to approximately 10 W speaker-level analog audio signals and can cause equipment damage if connected to other devices.
Mount the Speaker The speaker includes four toggle clamps to secure the speaker in place in the mounting hole. If the grille is mounted on the speaker, remove it before proceeding. 1. With the toggle clamps turned inward, insert the speaker into the mounting hole. 2.
SAROS IC4P-W Installation Refer to the following sections to install the SAROS IC4P-W. In the Box Qty. Description SAROS IC4P-W Additional Items Speaker grille (4532326) Rear metal input cap (4535516) Front metal input cap (4535515) Tile bridge ring (4532948) Tile bridge frame, outer (2057231) Tile bridge frame, inner (2057230) Screw, 04-20, 5/16 in., Philips (2007135) Screw, 3 x 6 mm, steel, Philips (2013272)
Install the Tile Bridge The included tile bridge components provide proper support when the speaker is installed in a typical drop tile ceiling. Refer to the illustration below. 1. Insert the inner tile bridge rails (with adjustment holes) into their respective outer tile bridge rails. 2.
that the connecting cable uses straight-through wiring, perform a pin-out continuity test before connecting the speakers and connect PoE last. Some signal level loss should be expected depending on the length of the cable run and the wire gauge of the cable. The following chart provides measured signal losses for different wire gauges at different lengths: Expected Signal Loss at Different Cable Lengths Wire Gauge...
Install the Speaker Cable If the audio source for the SAROS IC4P-W is an external amplifier, run the speaker cable (not included) from the audio source to the speaker location, observing all appropriate local codes. Strip the ends of the speaker cable approximately 0.25 in. to 0.50 in. (~6 mm to ~12 mm) and twist the strands. Connect the Speaker Cable CAUTION: Do not connect both the 2-pin terminal block input and RJ-45 input simultaneously.
4. Replace the metal end cap and the screws removed in step 1. NOTE: If installing the speaker without the metal end caps, the screws removed in step 1 should still be screwed back into the speaker back can for the best acoustic performance. Mount the Speaker The speaker includes four toggle clamps to secure the speaker in place in the mounting hole.
Install the Grille The speaker grille is held in place by powerful magnets. A safety tether is included as an additional precaution in the unlikely event that the grille should become unattached from the speaker. To install the grille: 1. Attach the loop of the safety tether to the grille. 2.
