Line Matching Transformer Connections
The FAP62TEN includes a 4-pole connector housed by a steel protective cover. The Phoenix style connector is designed to accept bare wire.
AtlasIED recommends using #18AWG for wire runs up to 500’, #16AWG for wire runs of 500’ to 1000’, and #14AWG for runs over 1000’.
Building codes often dictate that speaker wire must be plenum rated and run in conduit. Be sure to check local code requirements before installation.
The FAP62TEN is equipped with line matching transformers. These types of loudspeakers require an amplifier capable of driving a 70.7V/100V line in
order to ensure that the wattage taps selected will be appropriate.8

position when speakers are wired in 70.7V / 100V Systems..
Quantity of loudspeakers per amplifier will be dictated by the amplifier’s wattage rating (at least 20% headroom should be allowed for extended range
program material such as paging or digital music sources) i.e. an 120-watt amplifier will power 6 loudspeakers tapped at 16-watts each. (6x16=96,
120x 80%=96 <120W) (See Figure 2)
