The plug-in design allows the installer to pre-wire mounting plates
and dress the wires before plugging in the speakers to help reduce
ground faults. This design also allows faster installations with instant
feedback to ensure that wiring is properly connected, rotary switches
to select voltage and power settings, and field selectable candela
settings for wall and ceiling speaker strobes.
The new weatherproof back boxes have plastic and metal versions.
They are now designed to accommodate in-and-out wiring for
daisy chaining outdoor devices. The plastic weatherproof back
boxes shipped with the product feature removable side flanges and
improved resistance to salt water corrosion. The screw hole knockouts located on the back of the weatherproof back box eliminate the
need to drill holes for screw-in mounting. Both weatherproof back
boxes come with ¾‑inch top and bottom conduit entries and ¾‑inch
knock-outs at the back. Included with each back box is a screw-in
NPT plug with an O-ring gasket for a water tight seal. Metal back
boxes are available separately.
