recommended. Using speaker wire larger than 14 gauge for
the ABA-1D connections is not recommended — the wire
may not fit into the connectors. Never use solid-core, alu-
minum, or "Romex" type wire with the ABA-1D. When run-
ning speaker wires inside walls, most states and municipalities
in the U.S. specify that you must use a special type of speaker
wire. Usually, the requirement is that the wire has a specific
"CL" fire rating, such as "CL-2" or "CL-3". Consult your Niles
dealer, building contractor, or local building and inspection
department if unsure about which type of wire is best for
your application.
ABA-1D Mounting Location
Convenient mounting locations for the ABA-1D are:
●
Near entry-ways or exits
●
Near a desk
●
At your bedside
●
Close to a telephone
●
Near other wall controls (see caution below)
DO NOT INSTALL THE ABA-1D INTO ELECTRICAL BOXES
WITH 110 VOLT DEVICES.
Some states or municipalities allow devices such as the ABA-
1D to be installed into the same electrical box as 110 volt

"TECH TIP"
Wire size is
expressed by it's
AWG (American
Wire Gauge)
number. The lower
the AWG number,
the larger the wire,
i.e., 12 AWG wire is
physically larger
than 14 AWG.
