INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Drop Tile Ceiling Installation:

1.Remove the 2'x2' or 2"x4' tile.

2.Align the tile bridge on the rear of the tile in the desired position.

3.Using the template provided mark the cutout circle with a marker and cut 6 5⁄16" hole.

4.Replace tile into grid.

5.Bring service loop from rear of the tile, through the tile bridge to the access panel located on the side of the Enclosure. Terminate the service loop to the barrier block connection provided.(Red dot = “+” please note polarity). A 7⁄8" through hole is provided to facilitate conduit. A UL recognized conduit connector should be used to terminate conduit. Connection cavity is not intended for use as a junction box.

6.Insert the enclosure through the front of the tile. Using a standard #2 Phillips screwdriver or screw-gun tighten the (3) dog leg assemblies until they engage the tile bridge assembly. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN DOG LEG SCREWS!!

7.Adjust the front mounted switch to the desired tap setting. NOTE: A 8 ohm setting is included on the selector switch which bypasses the internal transformer for applications where the FAP40 is to be directly coupled to 8-ohm amplifiers.

8.Install the press-fit grille into the front bezel ring. Push the baffle upwards until the baffle is flush with the bezel ring.

9.For safety and seismic considerations, a suspension ring is integrated into the input panel section of the unit. Atlas Sound strongly suggests that a support wire be installed from this support point to a suitable anchor point above the ceiling grid. In drop tile applications, this wire can usually be installed from an adjacent tile access near the speaker location.

Existing Construction Dry Wall (“Hard Deck”) Installation

1.Using the template provided mark the cutout circle in the desired mounting location and cut 6 5⁄16" hole.

2.Bring service loop from through the hole to the access panel located on the side of the enclosure. Terminate the service loop to the barrier block connection provided (Red dot = “+” please note polarity). A 7⁄8" through hole is provided to facili- tate conduit. A UL recognized conduit connector should be used to terminate conduit. Connection cavity is not intended for use as a junction box.

3.Insert the enclosure into hole. Using a standard #2 Phillips screwdriver or screw-gun tighten the (3) dog leg assemblies until they engage the tile bridge assembly. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN DOG LEG SCREWS!!

4.Adjust the front mounted switch to the desired setting. NOTE: A 8 ohm setting is included on the selector switch which bypasses the internal transformer for applications where the FAP40 is to be directly coupled to 8-ohm amplifiers.

5.Install the press-fit grille into the front bezel ring. Push the baffle upwards until the baffle is flush with the bezel ring.

New Construction (Drywall Ceilings)

Use of the optional FA-TR41new construction bracket essentially reserves the speaker mounting location prior to drywall instal- lation in new construction. The bracket mounts between 16" or 24" OC studs and includes a 3/8" downward lip to provide a template for the drywall installers to cut around. For final installation please follow the instructions below. Note: tile bridge is not used in new construction applications where the new construction bracket is utilized.

1.Bring service loop from through the hole in ceiling provided by the pre construction bracket to the access panel located on the side of the Enclosure. Terminate the service loop to the barrier block connection provided (Red dot = “+” please note polarity). A 7⁄8" through hole is provided to facilitate conduit. A UL recognized conduit connector should be used to termi- nate conduit. Connection cavity is not intended for use as a junction box.

2.Insert the speaker assembly into hole. Using a standard #2 Phillips screwdriver or screw-gun tighten the (3) dog leg assemblies until they engage the ring provided on the new construction bracket. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN DOG LEG

SCREWS!!

3.Adjust the front mounted switch to the desired tap setting. NOTE: A 8 ohm setting is included on the selector switch which bypasses the internal transformer for applications where the FAP40 is to be directly coupled to 8-ohm amplifiers.

4.Install the press-fit grille into the front bezel ring. Push the baffle upwards until the baffle is flush with the bezel ring.

NOTE:

Dog legs will accommodate ceiling material thickness up to 1 1⁄4" as shipped from the factory.

For thicker ceiling materials (up to 2") simply un-screw and flip the doglegs.

DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN DOG LEGS IN EITHER CONFIGURATION!! *DO NOT USE 8 OHM SETTING WITH 70.7V/100V SYSTEMS!

*DO NOT OVERPOWER IN 8 OHM CONFIGURATION!

AMPLIFIER OUTPUT SHOULD NOT EXCEED 16W RMS @ 8 OHM PER SPEAKER

A UL recognized conduit clamp must be used for conduit connections. Cable connection cavity is not intended to be used as a junction box.
