Care & Maintenance
Designed to be installed outdoors, with direct exposure to the weather, there are still
some things that can be done to help maintain the appearance and performance of
your Elements™ speaker system.
If possible, install in a location that is out of direct sunlight exposure, this will help
reduce any fading or bleaching of the finish and hardware over very long periods of
time.
If the speaker is installed near salt water, then a once a week rinse off with clean fresh
water will help maintain the appearance of the finish and hardware. A light, low-
pressure rinse-off is all that is needed to be helpful.
Connecting the Elements™ C series loudspeakers for outdoor use with the
barrier strip and cover plate
For connection to the Elements™ C series speaker system outdoors, the use of the
barrier strip is recommended.
Procedure
1. Only remove a small length of the overall outer cable jacket, approximately 1.5 to 2”
long.
2. The stripped and tinned ends of the individual wires only need to be long enough to
go under the flat washer on the barrier strip, this length is approx. 5/16” to about 3/8”.
Use lead-free silver solder for the tinning, see below for more details.
3. Once the speaker cable has had the ends tinned, install the gland nut onto the cover
plate. You will need to hold the outer gland nut base with a pliers or socket wrench to
fully tighten the gland nut inner jam nut portion tight up against the plate. DO NOT
overtighten the gland nut base during cover plate installation!
Then loosely screw the gland nut compression nut to prepare for cable insertion and
final tightening.
4. Now thread the cable through the gland nut, and leave about 7” of cable and jacket
sticking out past the inside of the cover plate. Then tighten the gland nut down firmly till
it seals against the cable jacket. You may need to hold the outer gland nut base with a
pliers or socket wrench to fully tighten the gland nut compression nut down firmly
against the cable jacket. This is enough length of cable inside the cover plate to allow
the cover plate to pivot out of the way while the wires are being tightened down at the
barrier strip.
5. Remove the 8 thumb screws from the periphery of the input cup recess, these will
then hold on the cover plate once it is in position. These are the large head screws with
shall be provided, for use with the barrier strip connection. The weight shall be 26
pounds. The loudspeaker system shall be a Peavey Elements™ model 108C.
