Installation
Suspend the Loudspeaker
WARNING!:
Do not attach the snap hook to the
loudspeaker or any other load until the hanger cable
has been anchored to a suitable structural member.
1. Insert the wire cable into the appropriate hole in the fastener
(see Figure 2). The fastener’s two holes are directional so that
the cable will only insert one way; if it will not go through, the
cable is inserted into the wrong hole.
2. Loop the cable over the structural member where the
loudspeaker is to hang. The structure must be capable of
supporting at least 5× the weight of the loudspeaker NL-P4:
17.5 lb or 8 kg.
NOTE:
Building codes in some jurisdictions may
require higher safety factors.
3. Insert the cable through the other hole in the fastener.
4. Adjust the length of the cable hang so the snap hook is at the
desired height. To shorten the hang, simply pull the cable further
through one or both holes in the fastener (Figure 3). To lengthen
the hang or to remove the cable from the structural member,
insert the release key into the appropriate release key hole; this
will unlock that hole in the fastener and allow the cable to move
in the other direction (Figure 4).
WARNING!:
Never insert the release key while
there is a load on the hanger cable.
5. Attach the snap hook to the suspension tab on the loudspeaker
(Figure 5). Make sure the safety latch on the hook closes fully
with the loudspeaker attached before you transfer the weight of
the loudspeaker to the cable.
Pull cable to
shorten hang.
