IMPORTANT ASSEMBLY INFORMATION
L-Series Audible Visible Products:
Speakers and Speaker-Strobes
In addition to the installation practices documented in the installation manual I56-0002, the following steps should be taken to insure proper
installation of speaker and speaker-strobe products.
1. INSTALL ELECTRICAL BOX.
Ensure the electrical box is flush or slightly recessed/offset from
the drywall. If the electrical box protrudes, adjust the position of
the box. To avoid a cosmetic gap between the device and ceiling,
install the back box flush to slightly recessed with the ceiling.
In drop-ceiling installations, make sure the electrical box is flush
with the ceiling tile.

NOTE: Check the depth of the box after mounting. If the mounted
box is not flush with the mounting surface, the device will not be
flush against the mounting surface, causing a cosmetic gap between
the product and the ceiling or wall.
2. ENSURE PROPER WIRE LENGTH AND WIRE ROUTING.
Ensure proper wire length and routing per the diagrams below
so that the wiring does not interfere with the product by pushing
on the back of the product. The wires should be dressed to the
side to not interfere with the product. The product should not be
used to push the wires back into the back box.

Route wires to the sides

After terminating the wires,
route wires down so they don't
interfere with the speaker.
