Introduction

This section gives an overview of the Extron CS 123T SpeedMount Ceiling Speaker System,
consisting of the CS 3T speakers and CS 120P enclosure. It also provides a list of system
features and an application diagram. Topics include:

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.

CS 3T and CS 120P User Guide • Introduction 1

Installation

This section provides instructions for installing the CS 3T speakers and the CS 120P
enclosure. Topics include:

• Installation Considerations

• Installation Configurations

• Installing the CS 123T — Single Installer

• Installing the CS 120P in a Suspended Ceiling — Division of Labor

• Installing the CS 3T in a Suspended Ceiling — Division of Labor

• Installing the CS 120P in a Hard Ceiling

• Painting the Baffle and Grille

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 123T System — Single Installer

Side View

15/16" (24 mm)

If a single installer is installing the CS 123T system, follow this procedure for the entire
system:

NOTE: The ceiling grid must be installed before the installation of the CS 123T begins.

• Verify if fiberglass ceiling tiles are being used (see step 3 below and step 11 on

page 9 for details).

• The grid face must be at least 15/16 inch (24 mm) for proper installation of the

CS 120P (see step 13 on page 10 for details on suspending the enclosure on a
smaller grid face).

Grid Face

Figure 2. Grid Face Example

1. Disconnect power — Power down all attached devices before proceeding.

2. Verify the space where the system will be installed — Ensure that there is sufficient

clearance above the ceiling tile for the unit to be installed.

3. Cut a hole for the CS 3T speaker — Use the provided cutout template to outline the

hole to be cut in the ceiling tile as described below.

a. Remove the ceiling tile.
b. To find the center of the tile, use a tape measure to measure the space between

two opposite corners (diagonally), and mark the half-way point.

c. Position the center hole of the cutout template directly over the center of the tile

that you marked in step3b.

d. Using the provided cutout template, trace a circle on the ceiling tile as follows:

For installations in ceiling tiles that are NOT fiberglass or when installing
the speakers in an open back configuration: Trace a circle around the cutout

template.

NOTE: The fiberglass tile adapters are not needed and can be discarded.

For installations in 1-inch (2.54 cm) thick fiberglass ceiling tiles with the
CS 120P:

NOTE: A set of fiberglass tile adapters is provided with both the CS 3T and the

CS 120P. Only one set is needed to install the CS 3T with the CS 120P kit in
a 1-inch (2.54 cm) thick fiberglass tile. The adapter works only with 1-inch
(2.54 cm) thick fiberglass tile.

i. Place the fiberglass tile adapter around the outer diameter of the template that

ii. Trace a circle around the outer diameter of the adapter.

f. Replace the tile in the ceiling.

4. Remove the adjacent ceiling tile — To facilitate the installation

process, remove the tile adjacent to the ceiling tile where the
CS 3T will be installed. If the CS 120P is being installed, skip to
step 6. Otherwise, proceed to step 5.

5. If NOT using the CS 120P, install the Ceiling Mount kit — Place two V-rails and

one C-ring across the tile above the hole that you cut in step 3 where the speaker will
be installed.

a. Place the two V-rails in parallel across the top of the ceiling tile so that the ends of

the V-rails rest securely over the ceiling grid with the hole that was cut in the tile
situated between the V-rails, as shown below.

NOTE: The V-rails must be placed with the rail screw holes facing (closest to)

the hole in the ceiling tile.

Figure 3. Install the V-rails

b. Install the C-ring clips over the V-rails screw holes so that the C-ring is centered

over the tile hole and supported by the V-rails, as shown below.

c. Insert a screw (included) through the C-ring and into the V-rail screw hole as shown

above. Do this for each V-rail.Skip to step 14 on page 10.

d. Skip to step 14 on page 10.

6. Configure the CS 120P for a U.S. or metric ceiling grid — For U.S. ceilings (2 feet

by 2 feet or 2 feet by 4 feet), leave intact the four tabs that are on one of the short ends
of the enclosure.

For metric ceilings (600 mm by 600 mm or 600 mm by 1200 mm), cut off the tabs.

8. Route the cables through the cover plate —

NOTES:

• The CS 120P is fully UL 2043 compliant only when it is used with a metal

conduit or with plenum rated cables.

• Installation of all conduits, conduit adapters, wiring, and electrical connections

must conform to all applicable building codes and local ordinances.

Using a flexible conduit:

a. Route wires through the conduit.
b. Insert the conduit into the cover plate opening using an appropriate conduit

adapter, and secure the conduit to the plate as shown below.

c. Pull the wires out of the conduit and through the cover plate.
