ELAN HOME SYSTEMS INSTALLATION MANUAL THP525LS/THP650LS
Installation
The Installation process is divided into two distinct processes:
Wiring
Mounting
After carefully considering the intended application (defi ning a
Listening Area, Home Theater/Stereo, etc.) specifi c mounting
locations can be decided upon. Once the specifi c locations are
determined, installation can commence.
Wiring
Before actually running any wire or cable, take the time to look around
each room or area of the house and plan your wire paths for maxi-
mum effi ciency. Look for routes through uncluttered parts of the stud
wall or ceiling that allow you to group all low-voltage wires wherever
possible. It is a good practice to label both ends of all cables and to
protect wires by tying a plastic bag over the ends.
Note 1: Low voltage wiring must be run in accordance with the Na-
tional Electrical Code as well as any other applicable provisions of the
local building codes in your area. In some cases (such as commercial
installations), running the wire in conduit may be required. If you have
any questions concerning the wiring of speakers in your home, con-
tact your local building and inspection department.
Note 2: It is recommended that you use quality CL-2 or CL-3 rated
stranded speaker wire when installing ELAN TheaterPoint speakers.
Solid-core “Romex” type wire is not acceptable! Use at least 16AWG
speaker wire for runs up to 100 feet, and at least 14 AWG speaker
wire for runs up to 200 feet. If you must cross high-voltage lines,
always do so at a 90 degree angle to avoid audible hum through the
speakers!
