InstallationThis section describes the installation of the SF 3PT speaker and includes the followingtopic:Installing the SF 3PT Speaker WARNING: Risk of personal injury or property damage. The final installationshould be able to continuously support the speaker weight. The final installationshould also be able to support any short term overloading. Since applications canvary considerably, it is assumed that the installer will exercise good judgment whenselecting the mounting location, method, and hardware. Installation and service mustbe performed by authorized personnel only.AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de dommages corporels ou matériels.L’installation finale doit pouvoir supporter en permanence le poids de l’enceinte.L’installation finale doit également supporter toute surcharge temporaire. Étant donnéla possibilité d’évolution considérable des applications, il est supposé que l’installateurfera preuve de discernement lors de la sélection de l’emplacement, du mode, etdu matériel de montage. L’installation et la maintenance du système doivent êtreexclusivement effectuées par le personnel autorisé.NOTE: This speaker is intended for flexible wiring connection only.SF 3PT User Guide Installation4

Installing the SF 3PT SpeakerThe SF 3PT speaker is ideal for open ceilings. It is suspended from a user-supplied“octagon” type ceiling electrical box, as shown below.“Octagon” Type Ceiling Electrical BoxCeiling BracketCeiling Bracket Cover PlatePendantConnect Speaker CableSpeaker CapSpeakerFigure 3.SF 3PT Speaker AssemblyNOTE: The octagon type ceiling electrical box is not included.SF 3PT User Guide Installation5

Wiring the SF 3PT Speaker AssemblyThe SF 3PT speaker assembly includes the SF 3PT speaker with a cap, a PendantConnectspeaker cable that incorporates both the speaker wires and a steel support cable, and aceiling bracket with a cover plate.Installation requires attaching the ceiling bracket to a suitable overhead “octagon” typeceiling electrical box hereafter noted as ceiling box (not included), as shown in the previousfigure. Follow the steps to properly install the speaker.NOTE: Make sure to consult and follow local electrical and building codes whenmounting the SF 3PT Ceiling Bracket to a ceiling box. The following points must betaken into account: The mounting screw hole pattern needs to be between 2.36" and 3.50" (60 mmand 89 mm). The ceiling electrical box that the SF 3PT is mounting to needs to be rated tosupport sufficient weight. The SF 3PT speaker weighs 3.6 lbs. (1.6 kg) with speaker cap, Ceiling Bracket/Cover Plate, and 10' (3.1 m) of PendantConnect cable.NOTES: To help determine the necessary length of PendantConnect speaker cable needed,if pre-cutting, refer to the Reference Information section, otherwise follow thesteps below. When using pre-cut cables as described in the Reference Information section,skip step 5.1. Locate a suitable mounting location for the SF 3PT.2. Install and wire a ceiling box where the ceiling bracket is to be attached.NOTE: The ceiling box must be attached to a permanent structural member ofthe building and be able to support the complete speaker assembly includingthe speaker and cap, cable, and the ceiling bracket and cover plate. See theWarning at the beginning of the “Installation” section.3. Lift the speaker cap from the back of the speaker to expose the cable connectionsSF 3PT User Guide Installation6

4. Insert the PendantConnect speaker cable through the compression fitting and outthrough the recessed cable guide. See 1 in the figure below. Route enough excesscable to allow you to easily work with the cable end.1Compression NutPendantConnectSpeaker CableCompressionFitting2Figure 4.Speaker WiringNOTE: Be sure that the compression nut (the large top nut) has been loosened, butnot removed.5. Strip the cable jacket. See the following Note.NOTE: When using pre-cut cables, as described in the Reference Informationsection, skip this step (step 5).Remove the outer protective cable jacket and filler material from 6 inches of cable thatwas pushed through the bottom of the compression fitting. See 2 in the illustrationabove.6. Pull the cable back up through the compression fitting until the end of the cable withthe jacket still intact just protrudes from the bottom of the compression fitting. See 1below. Then tighten the top compression nut so that the cable is secure. See 2 in thefigure below.Side View1CompressionFittingCompressionNut2Figure 5.Routing the Speaker CableNOTE: The compression nut is tight when the bottom of the compression nuttouches the compression fitting. Tighten to at least 30 in-lb (3.4 N m).SF 3PT User Guide Installation7

7. Using the guide on the side of the splicing connector, strip .43 inch (11 mm) from theends of the black and red wires coming from the cable. These wires will be inserted intothe 2-pole splicing connectors of the speaker.43" (11 mm)DO NOT TIN the wires.8. Lift the splicing connector lever 1 and insert the stripped end of the red wire intothe empty pole of the connector 2 that is attached to the red wire coming from thespeaker. Press the lever down to lock the red wire in place 3.132Figure 6.2-pole Splicing ConnectorNext, lift the connector lever 1 and insert the stripped end of the black wire into theempty pole of the connector 2 that is attached to the black wire coming from thespeaker. Press the lever down to lock the black wire in place 3.9. The speaker wires are now connected at the back of the speaker.2-Pole SplicingConnectorsFigure 7.Connected Speaker WiresSF 3PT User Guide Installation8

10. Secure the red and the black speaker wires coming from the cable to the tie-off pointusing the tie-wrap.Tie-OffPointTie-WrapFigure 8.Speaker Wires Tie-Off Point11.

Determine the proper cable length. Refer to the figure above at right.Measure the distance from the floor to the bottom of the ceiling box (value A) and alsofrom the floor to the bottom of the speaker at the planned hanging height (value B).Next, subtract value B from value A for an approximate measurement.See the Note above.2. Route the free end of the cable through the speaker cap so that the cap is facing thespeaker correctly.3. With the speaker cap in place, measure out the distance obtained in step 1 from the topof the speaker assembly and mark the cutting point.See the Note above.4. Cut and strip the other end of the cable using the steps below. See the Note above.a. Cut the cable at the point marked in step 3.ATTENTION: Do not use regular wire cutters to cut through the steel cable.Ordinary wire cutters may be damaged when attempting to cut through thesteel cable. You must use a suitable cable cutter to cut the steel cable.ATTENTION : N’utilisez pas de cisaille standard pour couper le câble en acier.Ce type de cisaille peut être endommagé lors de la coupe du câble en acier.Vous devez utiliser une pince coupe-câble adaptée à ce type de câble.SF 3PT User Guide Installation11

b. Measure and mark 6 inches (15.2 cm) from the end of the cable, 1.
