INSTALLATION GUIDELINES 

 

Check your local building and fire rating code for low-voltage device installation 
and wiring requirements before you being your installation. 

 

Even if allowed by local building codes, we do not recommend installing volume 
controls in the same box as high voltage wiring controls, such as dimmers or 
switches. 

 

Maintain at least one stud bay of separation between any speaker wiring or volume 
controls and high voltage cable or controls to avoid interference. 

 

Always test fit volume controls to the boxes planned for use before installing the 
boxes. 

 

INSTALLATION 

Perform the following steps to install this volume control into a 70V audio system. 

1.

 

Turn off and unplug the amplifier from its power source. 

2.

 

Strip about 1/4" of insulation from each wire that is to be connected to the volume 
control, then twist the ends so there are no stray wire strands. 

3.

 

Using a small Phillips or flathead screwdriver, loosen the screws for the IN and OUT 
terminals on the volume control. 

4.

 

Insert the wires for the first speaker connection into the OUT terminals on the 
volume control, taking care to maintain proper polarity, then tighten the screws for 
the OUT terminals using a small Phillips or flathead screwdriver. 

5.

 

Connect the other end of the speaker wire to the terminals on the speaker, taking 
care to maintain proper polarity. 

6.

 

Insert the wires from the amplifier into IN terminals on the volume control, taking 
care to maintain proper polarity, then tighten the screws for the IN terminals using a 
small Phillips or flathead screwdriver. 

7.

 

Connect the other end of the speaker wire to the terminals on the amplifier, taking 
care to maintain proper polarity.
