ALTERNATE POWER (OPTIONAL)

When electrical AC power is not available above the ceiling for installation

with the TOPCAT, there is an alternative method for supplying power to the

TOPCAT.

Note: There are two DC Power Connectors for connecting power to the

TOPCAT. Both connectors perform the same function. Use the internal DC

Power Connector located on the ampliﬁer card when AC power is connected

directly to the TOPCAT. Use the connector access located on the outside of

the TOPCAT when using the optional power extender cable.

1. Remove the 24V 2.5A power supply module with its DC power cord that is

secured inside the access door of the TOPCAT.

2. Find the 50’ DC power extender cable (P/N: CA-DCPEX) and plug the

female connector into the side port on the TOPCAT. Use the wire anchor

supplied with the cable to secure the cable to the side of the TOPCAT

chassis. Use the cable tie provided to secure the end of the power cable

remaining in the TOPCAT. This cable should not touch the ﬂat panel speaker

when the door is closed.

3. Route the power extender cable across the ceiling and to the closest

standard AC power outlet. Cable routing should follow all local electrical

codes and installation procedures. (If the power extender cable is to be run

inside the wall, install a mud ring or electrical box in the wall close to the AC

power outlet. If the power extender cable is run on the surface of the wall

using wire molding, then mount a surface mount electrical box to house the

connection of the extender cable and the power supply.)

4. Plug the DC power cable end of the 24V supply into the power extender

cable.

5. Plug the AC power cord into the power supply and into the standard AC

power outlet.

Note: the 50’ power extender cable is plenum rated, suitable for air handling

spaces.
