Ceiling Installation - Algo 8188 Installation/Configuration Manual

Ceiling Installation

The 8188 Ceiling Speaker is intended to be mounted in a T-bar acoustic
tile or gypsum ceiling. The speaker may also be suspended using a chain
or cable (see section – Suspended Installation).
An optional T-Bar support bracket (8188-TBR) is available that can
transfer the speaker weight onto the T-bar rails. Installation instructions
are provided with the support bracket.
The speaker is shipped with the metal protective grill removed for
convenience. This provides access to the four Phillips head screws that
operate the four clamps. The clamp screws must be sufficiently loose to
allow clamps to rotate and clear the ceiling material thickness. When
tightened, the clamps are locked to prevent rotating. Removal of the
speaker from the ceiling requires the clamps to be sufficiently loosened
before they can rotate in to pass through the 8" (20.5cm) hole.
The removable trim ring must be snapped into location flush with the front
surface of the speaker. Lay the trim ring on a flat surface with the ribs
facing down and place the speaker in the middle with the speaker facing
up. Align the four tabs with the cavities on the speaker housing and slide
the trim ring up the speaker housing until it snaps into place flush with the
top.
An 8" (20.5 cm) round hole is required in the ceiling. The wiring
connections are easiest made prior to mounting if possible.
Network connection is made by inserting a RJ45 plug into the jack on top
of the housing. Wire connections for relay input and output (if used) are
made using the 4 position pluggable terminal block provided.
The protective wiring cover may be attached after connections are made.
The cover helps prevent any water drips from HVAC or roof leaks from
entering the enclosure, as well as keeping dust out of the connections.
The cover also provides additional strain relief for the wiring.
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 removed from the ceiling and the trim
ring re-attached.
