About this Guide

This guide describes the Extron CS 123T Speaker System, the CS 3T speaker pair and the CS 120P enclosure and provides instructions for installing all components of the system in different types of ceilings.

Overview

The CS 123T system features a low proﬁle design that houses a 3-inch driver contained in a UL 2043 rated enclosure (CS 120P) designed for use in plenum rated ceiling spaces.

This unique speaker system splits installation into two phases, rough-in and ﬁnish, allowing the installer to “reserve” space for the speaker system by installing the CS 120P back can and then later installing the CS 3T speaker. This two-step process (division of labor) is especially useful when multiple installers are involved. The CS 120P can be installed by the low voltage contractor while the CS 3T can be installed by the AV systems contractor.

Installation Considerations

WARNING: May result in serious injury. Installation and service must be performed

by authorized personnel only.

AVERTISSEMENT : Risque potentiel de blessure grave. L’installation et l’entretien

doivent être effectués par le personnel autorisé uniquement.

• All wiring and electrical connections must conform to all applicable building codes and

local ordinances.

• Installation in a plenum-rated environment requires plenum rated cable or conduit.

• If using secondary support cables, the installer provides the cables.

NOTE: Installation of conduit and conduit adapters must conform to all applicable

building codes and local ordinances.

Installation Configurations

The CS 3T can be configured in the following ways:

• Open-back: For configurations in which the CS 120P is not used, use the ceiling

mount kit accessory, available at www.extron.com. The C-ring spreads out the clamping force of the dog-legs when used in drop ceilings and gypsum ceilings.

• Using the CS 120P: When used with the CS 120P, the CS 3T can be placed in plenum

environments. This is the only configuration that is UL 2043 rated.

NOTE: The CS 120P can be ordered separately or as part of the CS 123T kit.

For hard ceiling installations, see Installing the CS 120P in a Hard Ceiling on page 30.

Installing the CS 120P in a Hard Ceiling

If you are installing the CS 123T in a hard ceiling (having no ceiling tiles), with the ceiling structure in place, install the CS 120P:

• It is the responsibility of the installer to identify a suitable mounting location and provide

the mounting hardware.

• The CS 120P must be mounted as close as possible to the upper surface of the ceiling

material.

• The lip of the CS 120P should protrude into the hole cut for the speaker.

• Do not leave a gap between the CS 120P and the ceiling material.

NOTE: Installation in this type of ceiling must be done while access to the ceiling is

still possible.

Painting the Baffle and Grille

NOTE: The cutout template that was used in step 2 of the previous section will be used

as a paint shield when painting the outer circumference of the baffle.

Painting the Bafﬂe

1. Remove the grille using the provided grille hooks and set the grille aside.

2. Place the cutout template over the center of the speaker so that inner portions of the

speaker (including the driver) are protected from the paint.

3. Tape over the center hole of the template to prevent any paint from entering the hole.

4. Tape over any exposed portion of the baffle that is normally covered by the grille. This

includes the perimeter outside of the template where the grille magnets are located.

ATTENTION:

• Do not allow paint to touch the magnets, otherwise the grille installation will

not be as secure. Do not allow paint to enter the bafﬂe groove where the grille will reside, otherwise the grille may not contact the magnets properly for a secure ﬁt.

• Ne laissez pas la peinture se déposer sur les aimants, sinon l’installation

de la grille ne sera pas aussi solide. Ne laissez pas la peinture rentrer dans les rainures de la bafﬂe, là où sera la grille : celle-ci pourrait ne plus être correctement en contact avec les aimants et donc ne pas être maintenue.

5. Clean the outer perimeter of the baffle to be painted with a damp cloth.

6. Paint the outer baffle.

CS 3T and CS 120P User Guide • Installation 30

Painting the Grille

1. With the grille detached from the speaker, carefully remove the scrim from the inner side

of the grille.

2. Carefully remove the Extron logo from the front of the grille.

3. Clean the outside of the grille surface with a damp cloth.

4. Carefully spray paint the outside surface of the grille.

ATTENTION:

5. After the paint has completely dried, reattach the logo and scrim.

• Be sure to keep the paint from clogging the grille perforations, otherwise the

speaker output will be affected.

• Assurez-vous que la peinture n’encrasse pas les perforations de la grille, au

risque d’empêcher la diffusion correcte du son depuis l’enceinte.
