Wall Mounting

The Informer100 Speaker comes standard with a bracket for vertical wall or pole mount 

with optional pole accessories. The standard mount can be flipped to allow ceiling mount. 
To wall mount the Informer100 Speaker:
1.  Find a suitable location to mount speaker. Use industry or company preferred 

practices when mounting hardware to structures. 

2.  Verify the mounting is adequate to hold the weight of the speaker, cables, and visual 

devices if equipped.

3.  Refer to Figure 3 or use the U-shaped wall bracket as a template to scribe the 

mounting hole locations.

4.  Mount the Informer100 Speaker to the mounting surface with user-supplied hardware. 

Federal Signal recommends 3/8-inch fasteners.

5.  Loosen the pivot bolts to provide the direction of the speaker. 

Attaching the Mounting Brackets to the Speaker Housing

To attach the brackets:
1.  The mounting brackets are attached to the speaker, as shown below, using the six 

supplied 1/4-20 by 5/8 inch screws.  

 

Note the orientation of the curved slots on the L-shaped brackets; this orientation is 

important for the speaker to pivot downward. 

2.  Tighten the 1/4-20 by 5/8 inch screws to approximately 80 in-lb. 
3.  Attach the U-shaped wall bracket with four supplied sets of 3/8-16 by 1-inch bolts, flat 

washers, lock washers, and nuts.
