Connecting to Power
- Determine if power is available above the ceiling or at outlet height.
- If running power to an outlet, determine the best location and route for running 18/2.
- Using a stud finder, scan the wall as near as possible to the power outlet, ensuring to not mount on a stud and remaining level with the power outlet.
- Cut a hole into the drywall, large enough to fit the mud ring into it securely.
- Using fish tape and glow rods, fish the 18/2 through the drywall.
- Once the 18/2 is through the cut hole, insert the mud ring and secure the cable pass through plate
- Strip back the shield of the 18/2 and the black and red wires.
- Using B-connectors, splice the power brick to the 18/2
- Plug in the power block. A small pop may be heard from the speaker upon receiving power.
Connecting the Camera
- Once your camera is installed, locate the AUDIO OUT on your camera.
- Strip the jacket of the 22/2 cable revealing the red, black, and bare wires inside.
- Cut away the plastic surrounding the cable inside. Strip away a small piece of the red and black jackets revealing the bare copper wire.
- Wire the black and bare to the - and the red to the + of the AUDIO OUT of the phoenix connector.
- Run the 22/2 cable from the camera to the AMP2SIC5, wiring your red wire to the + phoenix connection and black to the - connection of the LINE INPUT of the AMP2SIC5
- Run the 18/2 from the AMP2SIC5 to its designated power outlet.
