ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION AND SAFETY
Electrical Safety
DANGER: The output power capabilities of audio amplifiers present a danger to installers especially in
70-volt and 100-volt distributed systems. To minimize the risk of electric shock from loudspeaker
connecting cables, confirm that the power amplifiers are turned “off” before connecting loudspeaker
cable(s) to the loudspeaker or amplifier. Always follow local electrical codes and proper electrical
safety procedures.
Electrical Connections and Cabling
Input signal cabling for ENTASYS 200 Series loudspeakers can be connected to either the NL4-type
connector, or to the input terminal strip on the bottom of the loudspeaker. A weather-resistant cover
(included) can be attached to protect the input terminal connectors from moisture and debris. When
the cover is in place, the NL4 connector cannot be used, and the range of vertical motion when wall-
mounted with the accompanying bracket mounting kit may be limited slightly.
Cables, conduit, or liquid-tight couplings can be accommodated via the knock-out in the cover. A 1/2-
inch NPT conduit knock-out is provided to accommodate conduit, gland nuts, strain relief fittings, etc.
Outdoor Installations—Minimum Downward Installation Angle
NOTE: Whenever ENTASYS 200 loudspeakers are installed outdoors, or exposed to direct rain, other
precipitation, or cleaning water, the loudspeaker enclosure must be angled downward at a minimum of
2º (two-degrees) to meet the specified IP Rating and minimize water entry.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION AND SAFETY
Rigging and Safety Provisions
All ENTASYS 200 models are designed to be mounted using only the included or optional
ENTASYS rigging hardware. An appropriately sized Pan-Tilt wall bracket is provided with each
ENTASYS 200 model. Bracket ships attached to the loudspeaker, loosely assembled.
To suspend an ENTASYS 200 loudspeaker the Pan-Tilt Bracket should first be removed from the
loudspeaker. Next the Pan/Tilt Bracket should be attached to the wall surface and adjusted to the
desired estimated aiming angle.
This is important, as it is easier and quicker to adjust the Pan-
Tilt Bracket before the loudspeaker has been installed.
Detailed instructions are provided on
Pages 14 through 18.
Lastly, install the ENTASYS 200 loudspeaker in the Pan-Tilt Bracket. Pilot holes are provided in
several locations for fastening the loudspeaker to the Pan-Tilt Bracket, but it is also possible to
attach the loudspeaker in other locations along the length of the extrusion, in order to derive the
desired placement and vertical range of motion. Care should be given to ensure the Pan-Tilt bracket
is placed as high on the cabinet that the focus angle will allow but not higher than necessary to
ensure a secure and stable installation. Ensure that all four included 3.5x16mm Phillips Truss
Head Screws are used when securing the Pan-Tilt Bracket to the cabinet. Once the ENTASYS 200
loudspeaker is installed in the Pan-Tilt Bracket and the focus angle is adjusted, fully tighten each of
the 3.5x16mm Phillips Truss Head Screws to fully secure the loudspeaker to the Pan-Tilt Bracket.
