Installation Procedure
WARNING:  Risk of serious personal injury 
if installation is not done correctly. All 
structural steps, anchoring, and electrical 
installation should be performed by qualified 
personnel in accordance with local and national 
building codes, fire and safety codes, and/or 
local and national electrical codes. 
To meet the plenum rating requirement, 
the Priority Page Sensor assembly must be 
installed in a UL Listed junction box with 
a cover. All cables to and from the sensor 
must be plenum rated.
1.  Choose a suitable location for the sensor near, 
and in series with, the speakers.
2.  If the sensor is to be located in a plenum 
space, the junction box (provided) can be 
used. Knock out an opening at one end of the 
box and attach the cable clamp (see figure at 
right). Secure the box at the sensor location.
3.  Disconnect the PA system speaker cable. 
Remove the outer protective jacket from the 
speaker cable to expose the two speaker wires 
from the sensor to the speaker (as shown at lower 
right). Do not remove the inner protective jackets 
that cover the individual wires. 
If the sensor is to be located in a plenum space, 
feed a loop of one of the exposed speaker wires 
through the cable clamp into the junction box. 
The other wire must bypass the sensor to be 
connected later directly to the speaker. 
4.  Open the top of the Priority Page Sensor and loop 
the speaker wire that is inside the junction box 
tightly around the top part of the sensor. 
NOTE:  Loop only one of the speaker wires 
around the sensor cover. Do not loop both 
wires. Polarity need not be observed.
The other speaker wire must bypass the sensor 
and connect directly to the speaker.
•  For a 25 V or 70 V system, wrap 5 to 8 loops.
•  For a 4/8 ohm system, wrap 2 to 4 loops.
5.  Close and latch the top of the Priority Page 
Sensor. Reconnect the speaker cable to the 
speaker.
