AD-S802T and AD-S162T

Quick Start Guide

Installation
AD-S802T and AD-S162T passive column loudspeaker systems require amplified audio signals. A pass-through on each loudspeaker permits connection to multiple
loudspeakers.
The pluggable "Eurostyle" connectors allow the installer to pre-wire the audio system on site before the loudspeakers are installed.

The loudspeaker comes with a weather cover for the input cup to protect the input connections and switches
from precipitation and other weather hazards (Figure 1). Use the weather cover for all outdoor installations or any
applications where the loudspeaker may be exposed to moisture. To ensure a good seal in the cable gland, use
outdoor-rated cable with a round jacket up to 0.37 in or 9.4 mm in diameter.
To use the weather cover:
1. Loosen the nut on the cable gland.
2. Pass the cable all the way through the nut and the rest of the gland.
3. Attach the input connector to the wires (see Input Connector, below).
4. Once the loudspeaker enclosure is installed, plug the input connector into the loudspeaker's input cup. Secure
the connector to the loudspeaker using the two captive retaining screws, one on each end.
5. Make sure that the transformer tap selection switch is set properly. On the AD-S162T loudspeaker, also make
sure that the vertical dispersion angle switch is set as desired.
6. Place the cover onto the loudspeaker's input cup and attach it using the four screws, lock washers, and flat
washers provided.
7. Dress the cable so there is no undue strain on it. Tighten the gland nut until the grommet inside the gland has
made a tight seal onto the cable jacket.
The pluggable "Eurostyle" input connector (Figure 2) has four terminals to facilitate connection on a distributed
Strip wire
line. It also allows the installer to pre-wire the venue before the loudspeakers themselves are installed. The
¼ in
6.3 mm connector accommodates wire up to 10 AWG or 6 mm
(Figure 3). If one or more loudspeakers is out of polarity with others, the acoustic performance will suffer. Always
secure the connector to the loudspeaker using the retaining screws at both ends.

Mounting
Tilt/Swivel Bracket
The bracket provided with the loudspeaker allows 0, 5,
10, 15, and 20 degrees of downward tilt (Figure 4), and
up to ±51 degrees of horizontal panning (Figure 5).
These angles may be constrained by the loudspeaker
enclosure and adjacent walls or other structural elements.
For mounting that requires no panning left or right, the
bracket kit includes a zero-pan locking screw to keep the
loudspeaker securely in place.
