ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Note:

 Observe all local and national codes when 

installing the CIS120.

The CIS120 is supplied with a strain-relief sliding clamp for 

securing jacketed cable or flexible conduit.

If you are using 1/2 inch solid conduit or flexible armored 

conduit, then the strain-relief can be removed and fittings 

for securing solid conduit used instead (see page 9).

All connections to the loudspeaker must be made with 

the power amplifier turned off.

Amplifier connections

The following examples of 70 V and 100 V connections 

show an EAW Commercial CAM160, a typical mixer/amplifier. 

Its speaker-level output is a screw terminal strip, with outputs 

for 25 V, 70 V, 100 V, Ground, and 4 ohm.

  70 V connection example

1.  Connect the 70 V terminal on the amplifier to the 

IN + input connection on the CIS120.

2.  Connect the GND terminal on the amplifier to the 

IN – connection on the CIS120.

3.  Select the appropriate power tap on the CIS120 

from the inner ring marked 70 V, and make sure the 

other switch is set to "transformer."

  100 V connection example

1.  Connect the 100 V terminal on the amplifier to the 

IN + input connection on the CIS120.

2.  Connect the GND terminal on the amplifier to the 

IN – input connection on the CIS120.

3.  Select the appropriate power tap on the CIS120, 

from the outer ring marked 100V, and make sure 

the other switch is set to "transformer."

  Low impedance connections

 

The following example of a low-impedance connection 

uses a EAW Commercial CAZ2500 amplifier to power 

the CIS120. This amplifier also uses a screw-terminal 

output.

1.  Connect the A + terminal on the amplifier to the 

IN + input connection on the CIS120.

2.  Connect the A – terminal on the amplifier to the 

IN – connection on the CIS120.

3.  Select the "direct" position on the CIS120 to bypass 

the power-tap transformer and run the CIS120 as a 

constant impedance loudspeaker (8 ohm nominal).
