Wiring the SF 3PT Speaker Assembly
The SF 3PT speaker assembly includes the SF 3PT speaker with a cap, a PendantConnect
speaker cable that incorporates both the speaker wires and a steel support cable, and a
ceiling bracket with a cover plate.
Installation requires attaching the ceiling bracket to a suitable overhead “octagon” type
ceiling electrical box hereafter noted as ceiling box (not included), as shown in the previous
figure. Follow the steps to properly install the speaker.
NOTE:
Make sure to consult and follow local electrical and building codes when
mounting the SF 3PT Ceiling Bracket to a ceiling box. The following points must be
taken into account:
•
The mounting screw hole pattern needs to be between 2.36
"
and 3.50
"
(60 mm
and 89 mm).
•
The ceiling electrical box that the SF 3PT is mounting to needs to be rated to
support 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 the
steps below.

the speaker and cap, cable, and the ceiling bracket and cover plate. See the
Warning
at the beginning of the “Installation” section.
