About the V-Lock Assembly Kit

The V-Lock Wall Mount Assembly Kit is a pair of replacement wall mount assemblies (wall plate and V-lock groove only) for the Extron System INTEGRATOR® SI 3 surface mount speakers.

Figure 2 — Main parts of the V-Lock Assembly Kit

Installing the V-Lock™ Assembly Kit

If your speakers are not already installed, follow the instructions outlined in the SI 3 User's Guide supplied with the speakers (or online at www.extron.com).

If your speakers are already installed, replace the V-Lock assembly by following the instructions, below.

NOTE Referring to packaging information for location, carefully remove and check contents before installation.

NOTE Extron recommends that the wiring installation is performed by a professional audio equipment installer.

NOTE For speaker details, specifications, troubleshooting tips, and service access information, refer to the SI 3 User's Guide supplied with the speakers, or online at www.extron.com.

Existing wall mounting application

To replace a damaged V-Lock assembly that is already installed, do the following:

1. Remove the Extron logo from the front of the speaker to access the hex cap screw. Retain the logo.
2. Insert the hex tool and unlock the speaker.
3. Carefully lift the speakers away from the bracket, then disconnect the seismic cable and audio wires from the rear of the speakers.

To remove (or insert) the wires, push down on the spring terminals at the back of the speaker. Release the springs to secure.

Figure 3 — Remove audio wires from the terminals

NOTE If the ends of the wires are damaged and need to be re-stripped, follow the instructions in the SI 3 User's Guide.

1. Rotate the stage (V-lock groove) 90 degrees to the wall plate (see figure 4), to access the screws in the wall plate.

Figure 4 — Remove the old V-Lock Assembly

1. Carefully remove and retain the mounting screws, taking care not to damage the mounting holes in the wall. Remove the mount from the wall.

2. Remove a new V-Lock assembly from its box, loosen the hex cap screw and rotate the front section approximately 90 degrees to the mounting plate (see figure 4). Lightly tighten the hex cap screw to temporarily lock it in position, allowing access to the mounting holes in the wall plate.

3. Pass the wire through the access hole in the wall plate and using the existing mounting holes and screws, securely mount the new assembly wall plate to the wall.

NOTE If the mounting holes in the wall are damaged and unusable, or a new location is desired, create new mounting holes, following the instructions in the SI 3 User's Manual.

1. Loosen the hex cap screw and turn the stage back to its upright position. Retighten the hex cap screw to lock it in place.

2. Reattach the seismic cable to the speaker (see figure 5). Insert the speaker wires (see figure 3).

Anchor this end to a suitable secure point.

Mounting the speakers

1. Carefully lift the speaker above the wall mount assembly and gently slide the speaker box bracket down into the V-lock groove (see figure 6) until it locks into place.

Figure 6 — Slide the speaker down onto the wall mount assembly

1. If re-installing two speakers, repeat all the installation and speaker mounting steps for the second speaker.

Final adjustments

1. Turn on the audio source and any associated devices. Adjust the source and device settings as desired to get the optimum audio output for your speaker application.

2. To adjust the speaker angle insert the allen hex tool into the locking access, loosen the hex cap screw, and adjust to the desired angle (see figure 7). Tighten the hex cap screw down about 6 to 8 turns clockwise, until snug, for the speaker to sit securely in the desired position.

Figure 7 — Adjust speaker and lock in place

NOTE After locking it into place, check that the speaker is secure and cannot be lifted from the wall mount assembly. If it does lift out, continue tightening the hex cap screw until it is no longer possible to lift the speaker from the assembly.

1. Replace the Extron logo, pressing it firmly into place.
