Installation
Read and adhere to all safety warnings in this manual before installing the
DSA1X Speaker.
Electrocution or severe personal injury can occur when making electrical
connections, drilling holes, or lifting equipment. Therefore, experienced
electricians in accordance with national and local electrical codes, acting
under the direction of the installation crew safety foreman, should perform
installation.
Determine a Suitable Location
The DSA1X can be mounted on any relatively flat surface with the supplied mounting
brackets. The mounting surface must be capable of supporting the weight of the speaker.
This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D; Class II,
Division 2, Groups F and G; Class III or nonhazardous locations only.
Wall Mounting
The DSA1X 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 DSA1X Speaker, do the following:
1. Find 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 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 DSA1X Speaker to the mounting surface with user-supplied hardware.
Federal Signal recommends 3/8 in fasteners.
5. Loosen the pivot bolts to provide the direction of the speaker.
Attaching the Mounting Brackets to the Speaker Housing
Do the following to attach the brackets:
1. The mounting brackets are attached to the speaker as shown below using the six
supplied ¼-20 x 5/8 in screws.
Note the orientation of the curved slots on the L-shaped brackets, this orientation is
important to allow the speaker to be pivoted downward.
2. Tighten the ¼-20 x 5/8 in screws to approximately 80 in-lb.
