Model ASTB4

A-SERIES SPEAKER
TERMINAL BOOT

Description

The A-Series Terminal Boot is designed to offer added protection against the effects of weather
on wires and connections made to A-Series speaker model types A2, A6, and A8. The ASTB4
package contains 4 terminal boots.

Installation

1. If necessary, trim the tapering boot sleeve to accommodate the size of the wire bundle to be
attached to the speaker (adjust for a snug fit).

2. Slide the narrow end of the boot sleeve over the wires. Crimp any lugs onto the wires after
inserting the wires through the boot sleeve.

3. Secure the wires to the terminals and then slide the terminal boot into place over the termi­nals, pressing it firmly against the terminal strip for a secure fit. The boot only fits properly in
one orientation.

Note: The A2 speaker model does not allow enough space between the housing and the bracket for

the boot sleeve to pass between them.Therefore, it is important to install the boot while the
speaker is in its approximate final tilt position.

Additional Protection

The terminal boot does not provide a water tight seal for the terminal strip. It is only designed
to minimize the direct effects of weather on the wires and connections.

Silicone-based caulks can be used to improve the seal of the boot to the speaker terminal area. If
desired, apply a bead to the base of the boot before pressing it onto the terminal. Silicone
sealents with adhesive properties adhere better than pure silicone products.The boot sleeve exit
can also be sealed, however, be certain to caulk it so that the caulk can be removed later in case
the boot needs to be removed.
