FULL METAL BRACKET
The beauty of I series is that you don’t have to worry about finding specialist mounting hardware. The fully-adjustable mounting brackets are included.
These brackets are simple to install and give comprehensive adjustment angles due to the semi-circular ‘ball and socket’ design.
I series are easy to mount, easy to adjust and simple to securely lock in place. There is also a threaded insert for attachment of the included seismic restraint tether.
AROUND THE BACK
Connections and input settings are discretely placed around the back.
I series use Phoenix connectors for bare wire connections.
The image shown is of the i6T transformer version. This shows the transformer tap control which is adjusted with a small screwdriver but is surface mounted which ensures that no accidental power changes can be made.
