Fixed cable connection
The 8S loudspeaker is supplied with a cover plate

[1] and a

rubber grommet feed through

[2]. For indoor operation, these

items can be used to hide the connector panel, if required. For

unprotected outdoor operation, the connector panel must be

covered, i.e. both items must be used to achieve an IP degree of

protection of IP34.
To install the fixed cable connection, proceed as follows:
Tools required: Philips screw driver (#PH2).

1. Prepare the rubber grommet and the connection cable.
2. Remove the knockout opening in the cover plate and attach

the rubber grommet correspondingly.

3. Insert the connection cable through the rubber grommet and

connect the cable wires to the screw terminal.

Þ Observe the correct polarity!

4. Undo the four screws of the connector panel.
5. Push the cover plate towards the connector panel until it fits

into place.

6. Finally fix the cover plate together with the connector panel

using the four screws.
