TIC TFS5, TFS0 manual An Important note on Polarity

Before actually sinking the cable, run the cable from your unit to the power source or amplifier. Ensure your cable run avoids any obstacles such as sunken sprinkler pipes or piping and electrical cable to your house. Once the cable runs are where you like them, connect your speakers and power source to ensure correct operation before sinking the cable. Disconnect the cable wire at both ends and continue.

An Important note on Polarity!

Pleasure proper polarity when connecting your new TIC outdoor speakers. This is very important and will result in poor sound reproduction and possibly equipment damage if not connected correctly. This is normally avoided by ensuring + to + and – to – or as sometimes color coded Red to Red and Black to Black from your amplified source to your speakers respectively.

Once you have tested your cable run in step 3, it is time to sink the cable. 4-6” of cover is normally recommended to offset accidental disturbance, movement of the earth etc. but your specific onsite conditions will apply. Should you wish to secure the installation of your unit then simply clamp, by way of a “U” spike etc. the cable directly beneath the unit or you may use TIC’s SPPSS Security Stake available as an optional extra.

Reconnect the speakers and your receiver amplifier being careful to ensure correct “Polarity” matching.
