Back Can Installation
WARNING: This procedure requires the use of personal protection equipment, such as safety glasses and gloves.
WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the power amplifier is switched OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting any cables.
WARNING: Make sure that there are no power lines, other cables, or plumbing such as water, sewer, gas lines in the chosen location.
The Back Can S is an optional back can that can be used for the PCI and QCI 6DC/8DC in-ceiling loudspeakers.
The procedure below describes the installation of the back can into a typical 2" x 6" ceiling with 16" centers, with drywall/plasterboard not yet installed.
After the back can and drywall is installed, the PCI and QCI 6DC/8DC ceiling loudspeakers can be wired and installed, and the paint mask added during wall painting
and finishing.
Procedure
Follow the procedure steps below in the order in which they are presented. Read
all the instructions before starting.
1. Locate a suitable mounting position for the loudspeaker that will offer
optimum acoustic performance for the listening environment and audio
system, and that is also practical and aesthetically pleasing.
2. Carefully move the back can to the chosen location between the ceiling
joists, and lift it to the desired height, allowing enough room for the speaker
wire to enter the cable gland (Fig. 1).
3. Make sure that the back can is plumb and level, then attach the back can to
the ceiling joists using 5 screws or nails per stud.
Wiring the Back Can
WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the
amplifier is switched OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting any cables.
The speaker wire connections are made to the cable entry gland into the back
can. A loop is provided to secure the cable before it enters the cable gland.
1. Loop the speaker wire once around the provided cable loop, and pass
the cable through the cable gland and into the back can (Fig. 2) and past
the acoustic foam inside the back can. Leave enough slack to make the
connections when that time comes. Tighten the cable gland, and tie down
the speaker cable to prevent it moving and rattling in operation. Make sure
that the speaker cable does not come into contact with nails or screws that
might damage the electrical insulation.
2. Once the speaker cable has been brought through the gland, and the gland
tightened, fire-retardant sealing mastic should be used to seal the assembly.
