Niles Audio PSW8 - Manual (Page 18)

Installing the Speaker
If the grille is already
installed, remove it by
using a bent paper clip or
the tip of a corkscrew and
pulling it away from the
frame (See Figure 18).
1. Separate the speaker wire so
that at least two inches of each
conductor are free.
2. Open the no-strip terminal by applying
pressure to the red and black levers until
an audible “click” is heard.
3. Insert one unstripped wire fully into the
black and one into the red terminal. Pay
attention to the markings on the wire.
Each speaker must be connected to the
amplifier in the same way. Squeeze the
red and black levers until they click sig-
nifying that they have locked into the
wire. Check to make sure that the knife
assembly inside the no strip connector
has properly pierced the wire (See
Figure 19)
.
4. Insert the no strip terminal into the cor-
responding socket on the rear of the
speaker. Push it down until it locks in
place. The terminal will only fit in the
socket in one direction. If the terminal
does not properly seat, reverse the termi-
nal 180˚ and re insert (See Figure 20).
5. Place the speaker baffle in
the frame by installing the
legs in the corresponding
holes in the frame and
tilting the speaker forward
until the snaps engage
(See Figure 21) .
6. Important: When installing the speak-
ers in the ceiling, or if the installation is
located within an earthquake zone, it is
recommended that you utilize the
enclosed self tapping sheetmetal screws
to secure the baffle to the frame.
a. Locate the dimples on the front baffle.
b. Place the self-tapping sheet metal
screw in the dimple and turn it with a
screw driver until it cuts through the
baffle and anchors securely in the
frame (See Figure 22).
