Installation and cabinet guidance

Allow for a 60 mm panel opening. The round plastic frame is 64 mm in diameter with a 31 mm square magnet housing; the unit is 19.3 mm deep overall including the 3 mm flange, and the two blade terminals, 12.5 mm apart, point to the rear. The frame carries six slots around its edge but no round fixing holes, so check the fixing method against the unit and your enclosure design. Leave clearance behind the panel for the terminals and their push-on connectors.

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 it 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 cable so that water cannot track along it into the enclosure, and leave a drip loop where it is exposed. Operating temperature range −40 to 80 °C.

Connect to the 2.8 x 0.5 mm (+)/2.8 x 0.5 mm (-) blade terminals with matching push-on connectors; both blades are the same size, so follow the + and - marks on the rear label. Keep the leads clear of the moving parts and support them so that they cannot pull on the terminals. Use an amplifier suitable for the 8 Ω load and keep the drive within the 2 W rating (3 W maximum).

This is the 8 Ω version; the 50 Ω version is part 2919. Check the impedance against the amplifier and the installation before ordering.
