Mount the AD-C820 or AD-C821 Loudspeaker System

Note: The Mounting Clamps are part of the assembly and allow for mounting surfaces (ceiling) up to 2.75" in thickness. Do not install the grille until clamps have been tightened and any adjustments made.

1.Before inserting the loudspeaker into the mounting hole or AD-C-800BB back box, adjust the Mounting Clamps counterclockwise, using a Phillips screwdriver, so they are folded in against the loudspeaker backcan and provide enough space for the thickness of the ceiling to which you are mounting the loudspeaker. (Figure 19) item b.

Note: Turning the Mounting Clamp Screw counterclockwise increases the space (loosens), and folds the Mounting Clamp next to the loudspeaker back can. Turning the screw clockwise folds the Mounting Clamp out, and reduces the space (tightens).

2.Install the loudspeaker system into the ceiling through the mounting hole, or into the AD-C800BB back box.

3.Tighten each clamp using a #2 Phillips screwdriver 7 in·lbs. (Figure 19) item a.

Important: Excessive torque may cause mounting tab and/or ceiling damage. Do not over-torque (20 inch-pounds maxs). If the Mounting Clamps have been subject to extreme temperatures, Do Not Tighten until they have reached room temperature.

Note: (Figure 19) shows the AD-C821, the AD-C820 has the same Mounting Clamps, it does not have the back can as shown in the figure.
