The weather-resistant input cover is designed for three different wiring scenarios (see above). To change the configuration of the input cover to support your wiring scenario, cut along the perforation on the rubber conduit.

Note: Indoor-only applications do not require use of the input cover.

Note: If installing the loudspeaker with the rubber conduit facing upward, it is the installer's responsibility to seal against water ingress into the Euroblock connector.

Note: If using the wide open rubber conduit configuration, it is the installer's responsibility to seal against water ingress into the Euroblock connector.

Wiring the Loudspeaker

Wire Gauge

The DesignMax DM6SE loudspeaker is designed to work with 18 AWG (0.8 mm²) to 14 AWG (2.1 mm²) size wire only.

Connection Diagrams

Expose six millimeters (1 / 4 inch) of bare wire to attach to the terminals.

Note: The loudspeaker is not rated for use with a rigid conduit. The loudspeaker is suitable for a flexible conduit or wiring connection only.

Loudspeaker Settings

* NC: No Connection (do not use) Factory default

Transformer Tap Setting

Set tap by turning. Use a flat head screwdriver.

Using a Safety Cable

Some regional construction codes require the use of a secondary method of securing loudspeakers to support structures to provide additional safety. Choose a mounting position, method, and hardware consistent with local building codes and regulations.

A safety cable can be attached to the loudspeaker using the threaded insert on the back of the enclosure.

The insert is sized for an M8 screw (not included) with a depth of 15 millimeters (0.59 inches).

Loudspeaker Orientation

Choose the loudspeaker orientation best suited for your installation.

Horizontal
Vertical

Note: Installation in close proximity to cooking surfaces where the loudspeaker may be directly exposed to cooking oils, such as in commercial cooking environments, may decrease the performance or functionality of the loudspeaker.

Installing the Bracket

Note: When choosing an installation location, at least two of the mounting bracket's attachment points must be secured to a support structure. Attachment points not secured to a support structure must be secured using appropriate hardware for the installation. Choose fasteners that are consistent with all local building codes and requirements.

Note: Choose appropriate fasteners to support the weight of the loudspeaker (6.40 kg [14.1 lb]).

1. Mark the drill holes.
2. Drill four holes (sized for appropriate fasteners) into the wall.
3. Secure the bracket to the wall with four screws (not included). Note: Use M5 or #10 sized screws.
