IW55 RIF Installation Instructions
Note : Installation of the rough-in frame requires removal of the wall board. It is therefore recommended for new construction or major remodels only.
| 1. To accommodate correct | | | |
| speaker orientation, the | | | |
| IW55 RIF can be installed | | | |
| horizontally or vertically. | | | |
| For vertical installation, the | | | |
| snap on wings (a) must be | | | |
| used (see Fig. 1). In hori- | | | |
| zontal installation, if cross | Fig. 1 | Fig. 2 | Fig. 3 |
| braces are available above |
| | | |
| & below the speaker loca- | | | (b) |
| tion, the snap on wings (a) | | (a) |
| | |
| can be used (see Fig. 2), | | | |
| or the rough-in-frame tabs | | | |
| (see (b) in Fig. 4) can be | | | |
| directly nailed onto vertical | | | (c) |
| wall studs (see Fig. 3). | | |
| | | |
| 2. When using installation methods shown | | (a) |
| | |
| in Fig.1 or Fig. 2, snap the two flat wing | | |
| sections (see (a) in Fig. 4) onto the | | | |
| rough-in-frame. Note: Use the edge of | | (e) |
| the wing with the set of two large rectan- | (b) | |
| gular openings (see (e) in Fig. 4). | | Fig. 4 | |
| | | |
3.Position the rough-in-frame assembly as required between the wall studs or cross braces and nail into place. Be sure that the nail heads are set as flush as possible against the snap-on wings or the rough-in-frame tabs (see
(b) in Fig. 4). Note: wire tabs (see (c) in Fig. 4 or Fig. 5) go towards the back (inside of the wall).
4.See Fig. 5. Pre-routed wire can be held in place using the molded wire tabs (c) on the back side of the frame unit. Be sure that no wire remains exposed on the front (wall board) side of the assembly. Note: In order to facili- tate correct wall board installation, the raised inner lip of the rough-in-frame (d) serves as a physical barrier that the wall board edge should rest against. After wall board installation is complete, the speaker wire can run through the opening in the wall board and attached to the speaker system as detailed in the IW55 RIF installation manual.
