ELAN HOME SYSTEMS INSTALLATION MANUAL THP525LS/THP650LS

Installation

The Installation process is divided into two distinct processes:

Wiring

Mounting

After carefully considering the intended application (defining a Listening Area, Home Theater/Stereo, etc.) specific mounting locations can be decided upon. Once the specific locations are determined, installation can commence.

Wiring

Before actually running any wire or cable, take the time to look around each room or area of the house and plan your wire paths for maxi- mum efficiency. Look for routes through uncluttered parts of the stud wall or ceiling that allow you to group all low-voltage wires wherever possible. It is a good practice to label both ends of all cables and to protect wires by tying a plastic bag over the ends.

Note 1: Low voltage wiring must be run in accordance with the Na- tional Electrical Code as well as any other applicable provisions of the local building codes in your area. In some cases (such as commercial installations), running the wire in conduit may be required. If you have any questions concerning the wiring of speakers in your home, con- tact your local building and inspection department.

Note 2: It is recommended that you use quality CL-2 or CL-3 rated stranded speaker wire when installing ELAN TheaterPoint speakers. Solid-core “Romex” type wire is not acceptable! Use at least 16AWG speaker wire for runs up to 100 feet, and at least 14 AWG speaker wire for runs up to 200 feet. If you must cross high-voltage lines, always do so at a 90 degree angle to avoid audible hum through the speakers!
