Installation

This section describes the installation of the SF 3PT speaker and includes the following
topics:

• Installing the SF 3PT Speaker

WARNING: Risk of personal injury or property damage. The final installation
should be able to continuously support the speaker weight. The final installation
should also be able to support any short term overloading. Since applications can
vary considerably, it is assumed that the installer will exercise good judgment when
selecting the mounting location, method, and hardware. Installation and service must
be performed by authorized personnel only.

AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de dommages corporels ou matériels.

L’installation finale doit pouvoir supporter en permanence le poids de l’enceinte.
L’installation finale doit également supporter toute surcharge temporaire. Étant donné
la possibilité d’évolution considérable des applications, il est supposé que l’installateur
fera preuve de discernement lors de la sélection de l’emplacement, du mode, et
du matériel de montage. L’installation et la maintenance du système doivent être
exclusivement effectuées par le personnel autorisé.

NOTE: This speaker is intended for flexible wiring connection only.

SF 3PT User Guide • Installation

Wiring the SF 3PT Speaker Assembly

The SF 3PT speaker assembly includes the SF 3PT speaker with a cap, a PendantConnect
speaker cable that incorporates both the speaker wires and a steel support cable, and a

ceiling bracket with a cover plate.
Installation requires attaching the ceiling bracket to a suitable overhead “octagon” type

ceiling electrical box hereafter noted as ceiling box (not included), as shown in the previous
figure. Follow the steps to properly install the speaker.

NOTE: Make sure to consult and follow local electrical and building codes when

mounting the SF 3PT Ceiling Bracket to a ceiling box. The following points must be
taken into account:

• The mounting screw hole pattern needs to be between 2.36" and 3.50" (60 mm

and 89 mm).

• The ceiling electrical box that the SF 3PT is mounting to needs to be rated to

support sufficient weight.

• The SF 3PT speaker weighs 3.6 lbs. (1.6 kg) with speaker cap, Ceiling Bracket/

Cover Plate, and 10' (3.1 m) of PendantConnect cable.

NOTES:

• To help determine the necessary length of PendantConnect speaker cable needed,

if pre-cutting, refer to the Reference Information section, otherwise follow the
steps below.

• When using pre-cut cables as described in the Reference Information section,

skip step 5.

1. Locate a suitable mounting location for the SF 3PT.

2. Install and wire a ceiling box where the ceiling bracket is to be attached.

NOTE: The ceiling box must be attached to a permanent structural member of

the building and be able to support the complete speaker assembly including
the speaker and cap, cable, and the ceiling bracket and cover plate. See the

Warning at the beginning of the “Installation” section.

3. Lift the speaker cap from the back of the speaker to expose the cable connections

through the recessed cable guide. See 1 below. Route enough excess cable to allow
you to easily work with the cable end.

Figure 4. Speaker Wiring

NOTE: Be sure that the compression nut (the large top nut) has been loosened, but

not removed.

5. Strip the cable jacket. See the following Note.

NOTE: When using pre-cut cables, as described in the Reference Information

section, skip this step (step 5).

Remove the outer protective cable jacket and filler material from 6 inches of cable that
was pushed through the bottom of the compression fitting. See 2 on the previous
page.

6. Pull the cable back up through the compression fitting until the end of the cable with

the jacket still intact just protrudes from the bottom of the compression fitting. See 1
below. Then tighten the top compression nut so that the cable is secure. See 2 below.

NOTE: When using pre-cut cables, as described in the Reference Information

section, skip steps 1, 3, and 4.

1. Determine the proper cable length. Refer to the figure above at right.

Measure the distance from the floor to the bottom of the ceiling box (value A) and also
from the floor to the bottom of the speaker at the planned hanging height (value B).
Next, subtract value B from value A for an approximate measurement.
See the Note above.

2. Route the free end of the cable through the speaker cap so that the cap is facing the

speaker correctly.

3. With the speaker cap in place, measure out the distance obtained in step 1 from the top

of the speaker assembly and mark the cutting point.
See the Note above.

4. Cut and strip the other end of the cable using the steps below. See the Note above.
a. Cut the cable at the point marked in step 3.

ATTENTION: Do not use regular wire cutters to cut through the steel cable.

Ordinary wire cutters may be damaged when attempting to cut through the
steel cable. You must use a suitable cable cutter to cut the steel cable.

ATTENTION :

N’utilisez pas de cisaille standard pour couper le câble en acier.
Ce type de cisaille peut être endommagé lors de la coupe du câble en acier.
Vous devez utiliser une pince coupe-câble adaptée à ce type de câble.

6. Route the free end of the cable through the bottom of the compression nut of the ceiling

bracket.

NOTE: Be sure that the compression nut (the large bottom nut) of the ceiling

bracket has been loosened, but not removed.

7. Pull the cable until the jacket just protrudes from the top of the compression fitting and

tighten the compression nut (see 2 in step 4b above) to secure the cable.

NOTE: The compression nut is tight when the bottom of the compression nut (flat

part) touches the compression fitting. Tighten to at least 30 in-lb (3.4 N∙m).

8. Using the guide on the side of the splicing connector, strip .43 inch (11 mm) from the

ends of the protruding black and red wires. These wires will be inserted into the two
3-pole splicing connectors (included).

11. Place the speaker and cable assembly into the included bag and hang the bag close to

the ceiling box for the final installation steps.

12. Remove the ceiling bracket from the bag and connect the speaker wires coming from

the ceiling box to the 3-pole splicing connectors on the ceiling bracket. The red speaker
wire coming from the ceiling box connects to the splicing connector wired to the red

• Measuring and Pre-Cutting the PendantConnect Speaker Cable

Measuring and Pre-Cutting the PendantConnect Speaker Cable

To determine the length of the PendantConnect speaker cable to cut, do the following.

1. Refer to the illustrations below.
a. Measure the distance from the floor to the bottom of the ceiling box (value A).
b. Next, measure the distance from from the floor to the bottom of the speaker at the

planned hanging height (value B).

c. Next, subtract value B from value A, then add 7.5 inches (19.1 cm) to the result.

The resulting value, C (as shown below right), is the approximate length of cable
needed to hang the speaker at the desired height.
