Assembling the Loudspeaker Into the Back Can

When you have made the electrical connec-
tions from the wires coming into the can to
the loudspeaker then you can mount that
loudspeaker into the can.
1. Four Twist-Assist™ face tabs protrude just
inside the can opening. Align the four slots
along the periphery of the loudspeaker face
with the Philips-head can clamp actuators.
The actuators should be positioned so that
they are at the far right of the slots (viewed
through the slot from the front of the loud-
speaker).
2. Twist the loudspeaker clockwise a few
degrees so the Twist-Assist™ face tabs are
positioned at the left of the face slots as you
look at the front face (see Figures 30 and 31).

3. Four 4mm sheet metal screws come from
the factory partially inserted into the plastic
face. Use a screwdriver to install these cap-
tive screws into the can. Tighten so they are
snug against the face, but do not over-tighten
them. See Figure 32.
Note: Some codes now require that the grille
have a safety cable; your local codes may
vary. In any case, Community makes it easy to
comply with an included security cable system,
as detailed in Steps 4 through 6.
