Installation and cabinet guidance

No cut-out is published for this driver: the frame is 56.9 mm in diameter (54.8 mm behind the lip) and the unit is 12.9 mm deep behind the 3.2 mm flange, with a 22 mm magnet. Size the opening from the unit itself. The frame has no fixing holes, so it is normally bonded or clamped in place; check the method against your enclosure design.

The IP65 protection applies to the front of the driver only, and only when it is built into a sealed enclosure; the rear is open to the enclosure. Mount on a flat panel with a continuous seal around the frame and protect the rear from water and dust; bonding the driver in and fitting a front cover or grille may be needed to complete the protection. Run the leads so that water cannot track along them into the enclosure. Operating temperature range −25 to 70 °C.

Solder to the solder lugs, observe polarity and keep the leads clear of the moving parts. Use a suitable iron and keep the soldering time short so that heat is not conducted into the driver. Use an amplifier suitable for the 8 Ω load and keep the drive within the 2 W rating (3 W maximum).
