how to install Valcom S-520B Speaker
- Plan the installation location: Choose walls inside the space that maximize coverage and minimize feedback or obstructions. Verify that the mounting surface is solid and can support the speaker’s weight when fully wired and connected to the amplifier or paging system.
- Power down the system: Before wiring, ensure the main power supply to the PA or intercom system is turned off to prevent electrical shock or accidental signal routing during installation.
- Mount the enclosure: Use the supplied mounting hardware to secure the S-520B to the chosen wall. Ensure the unit sits level and that the mounting screws engage securely with the wall stud or appropriate anchors for the wall material.
- Make wiring connections: Connect the speaker wires to the appropriate terminals within the back of the enclosure or designated wiring terminals. Use proper gauge wire suitable for the system’s impedance and keep wires neatly organized to avoid interference. If needed, route wiring through conduit or wall channels to protect cables and maintain a clean installation.
- Test and adjust: Restore power to the system and perform a test with a paging signal or test tone. Check for even coverage, intelligibility, and any buzzing or distortion. Adjust the speaker’s placement, wiring, or system gain as needed to achieve balanced audio across the intended zones.
- Finalize setup: Label the speaker for maintenance and identify its zone, channel, or group within the control system. Ensure all fasteners are tight and that the area around the installation remains clean and accessible for routine inspections and future upgrades.
