INSTALLATION AND WIRING
Figure 4- Secure rails to split ring
Non-Suspended Ceiling Types
–
The split ring can be used by itself to reinforce the ceiling
material and to spread out the pressure from the speaker hold-down tabs. Insert the split ring through
the hole cut in the ceiling and place it on the back side of the hole before inserting the speaker.
Vibration Reduction:
These loudspeakers can generate
substantial vibration, which can
cause buzzing of the ceiling
materials or structure. Depending
on the character of the ceiling tile
and structure, the installer might
need to place neoprene or other
dampening material under the tile
rails or the edges of the tiles to
eliminate rattles.
Cutout Placement
:
The tile rails are pre-punched with
attachment holes along their length.
Placement is not limited to the
center of the tile as is the case with
many other tile rail support
systems.
Tile Rails
: The tile rails are designed to fit either standard 24-inch wide tiles or
600mm wide tiles. The tile rail pieces do NOT physically attach to the T-grid
struts. Instead, the inverted-V shape at the ends of the rails sit OVER the T-grid
strut. Normally, the rails are supported by the edge of the ceiling tile. In the
unlikely event that the tile comes out or falls apart, the ends of the support rails are
designed to catch onto the T-grid, providing secure support to hold the loudspeaker
assembly in place.
