Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the AtlasIED SM82TEN Strategy Series®surface mount loudspeakers. The SM82TEN loudspeaker is designed to provide high
fidelity, long life and installation convenience for commercial and residential applications. Their weather-resistant properties make them perfect for use
indoors or out. The SM82TEN is available in either black or white.
Key Features
• Includes internal, high efficiency 70.7V / 100V transformer (may be bypassed by 8Ωoperation)
• Barrier strip input with weather resistant cover
• Bracket included for wall mounting (EN54-24 Mounting Evaluated)
• Also compatible with optional mounting systems (EN54-24 Mounting Not Evaluated)
• Mounting system must be rated to support at least 10 lbs (4.5kg)
Placement
Outdoor Use
The materials used in the construction of the SM82TEN loudspeaker systems are weather resistant. The hardware is brass, the grille is powder-coated
aluminum, and the bracket is zinc plated, powder coated steel. The enclosure itself is shatter resistant. Adhering to these mounting guidelines will
further extend the life of the product when installed outdoors:
• Whenever possible, mount the speaker under an eave or other protective overhang
• Always aim the speaker downward, at a 15-18 degrees angle, to prevent water from accumulating on the speaker cone
• Do not place the speaker in a location where water, snow, or ice will accumulate on the speaker for extended periods of time
Indoor Use
The SM82TEN loudspeaker works very well when it is wall-mounted in indoor applications. When the loudspeaker is placecd on a wall, it can take
advantage of the natural boundary effect that occurs when a loudspeaker system is placed against one or more surfaces. This boundary effect will
provide increased overall output. When mounted against one surface (on a wall), the loudspeaker output will increase by 3dB. When mounted against
two surfaces (on the wall near the ceiling or corner), the loudspeaker output increases by 6dB. When mounted against three surfaces (in a corner near
the ceiling), the loudspeaker output increases by 9dB.
Shelf Mounting (Indoor)
The bottom surface of the SM82TEN is a flat 90° to the speaker baffle to maintain level surface when placing on shelves. All models can also be
horizontally installed in any placement option.

Installation
Fixed Install
The SM82TEN loudspeaker includes a versatile yet simple U-bracket designed to provide easy vertical or horizontal installation on almost any surface.
The loudspeaker may be installed using screws or bolts placed through the “Keyhole” shaped holes in the mounting bracket. The center 5/8" hole
allows wire to exit through the bracket when wall mounting, for a clean installation. The unused inserts on the rear of the SM82TEN are 1/4"-20. These
openings can be used with forged eyebolt and approved safety cable (wire rope sling) where redundant support is required for seismic or safety
considerations. These parts are available through multiple sources:
• Eyebolt, Lifting With Shoulder, Steel, Plain Finish, 1/4"-20 Thread Size, 1" Thread Length, 1" Shank Length, 17/32" Shoulder Diameter,
5/32" Shoulder Length, 3/4" Eye Inside Diameter, 11/4" Eye Outside Diameter, 23/8" Overall Length, 500 lb. Working Load Limit
• Galvanized Steel Cable Spool, 1/8"
• Sleeve N Thimble™Kit for 1/8" Cable
• Swage It Tool for 1/16", 3/32", and 1/8" Cable Size
• The mounting knobs included with the SM82TEN may be easily interchanged with standard, 1/4"-20 vandal proof hardware
• TORX Drive Button Head 1/4" Machine Screw, Tamperproof, 1/2" Length
• One-Way Round Head 1/4" Machine Screw, Tamperproof, 1/2" Length
• Spanner Flat Head 1/4" Machine Screw, Tamperproof, 1/2" Length
• Terminal Weather Cover Conduit Connection for 1/2" Length
Overhead Suspension
CAUTION: Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should be attempted only by individuals who have thorough knowledge of the
techniques and regulations of rigging objects overhead using ONLY hardware approved for this type of installation. AtlasIED strongly recommends
that SM82TEN loudspeakers only be suspended overhead when taking into account all current national, federal, state, and local regulations. It is the
responsibility of the installer to insure that the speaker is installed according to those regulations. If the SM82TEN loudspeaker is suspended, AtlasIED
strongly recommends that the system be inspected at least once a year. If any signs of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be
taken immediately.
ATTENTION: La suspension de tout objet est potentiellement dangereuse et ne devrait être accomplie que par du personnel qualifié, compétent et au
fait des différentes loi et restrictions en matière de gréage et en n’utilisant que du matériel approuvé pour ce type d’installation. AtlasIED recommande
fortement que les haut-parleurs SM82TEN ne soit suspendus qu’en tenant compte de la règlementation locale, provinciale et nationale. Il incombe à
l’installateur de d’assurer que l’ouvrage effectuée rencontre les lois et règlementation en vigueur. Si le haut-parleur SM82TEN est suspendu, AtlasIED
recommande fortement que l’installation soit inspectée une fois par année. Si l’installation est endommagée, ou montre des signes de faiblesse, des
actions correctives doivent être entreprises immédiatement.

Terminal Cover
The SM82TEN includes a weather-resistant terminal cover with grommet. Remove cover to gain access to the barrier strip. Feed service line through
grommet before terminating to barrier strip. Secure terminal cover (with grommet) over barrier strip when complete. The weather-resistant cover and
grommet must be used in all applications.
8ΩConnections
The SM82TEN loudspeakers include an 8Ωswitch position.
CAUTION: Do not set switch to 8Ωposition when speakers are wired in 70.7V / 100V Systems.
The SM82TEN include a two pole barrier strip housed by a weather-resistant cover. The barrier strip is designed to accept either spade connectors or
bare wire.
Amplifier limitations will dictate how many SM82TEN loudspeakers may be connected. Most consumer amplifiers are rated to operate at a 4Ω
minimum output impedance per channel (check the back panel of the amplifier or the amplifier owners manual to verify). With this arrangement, two
SM Series loudspeakers may be connected in parallel to each channel of the amplifier (two 8Ωloudspeakers per channel = a 4Ωload). (See Figure 1)
Be sure to use good quality, unshielded twisted pair speaker cable to connect the amplifier to the loudspeaker(s) (#14AWG for runs <80', #12AWG for
runs >80'). Standard ZIP style speaker cable may also be used if twisted pair cable is not available.
DO NOT USE SHIELDED INSTRUMENT STYLE (Guitar) CABLES TO CONNECT SPEAKERS.
When making connections, be sure to maintain proper polarity between speakers. (Red wire to red or (+) terminal, black wire to black or (–) terminal
where applicable) AtlasIED offers several auto-former speaker selectors (AtlasIED ASL series) and volume controls (Whisper Touch series) that will
allow you to connect multiple pairs (up to 6) of 8Ωloudspeakers without damaging your amplifier. Contact your dealer or factory for details.

Line MatchingTransformer Connections
The SM82TEN includes a two pole barrier strip housed by a weather-resistant cover. The barrier strip is designed to accept either spade connectors or
bare wire. AtlasIED recommends using #18AWG for wire runs up to 500', #16AWG for wire runs of 500' to 1000', and #14AWG for runs over 1000'.
The weather-resistant cover will except a 1/2" conduit adaptor when terminating a conduit connection. Building codes often dictate that speaker wire
must be plenum rated and run in conduit. Be sure to check local code requirements before installation.
The SM82TEN is equipped with line matching transformers. These types of loudspeakers require an amplifier capable of driving a 70.7V line in order
to ensure that the wattage taps selected will be appropriate. If the amplifier is not rated for 70.7V output, the AtlasIED AF140 autoformer can be used
and configured as a step-up transformer for this purpose. Contact a local dealer for details.
Connect the speaker cable to the (+) and (–) barrier strip terminals on the back of the SM82TEN. Using a small screwdriver, adjust the wattage selector
switch on the back of the SM82TEN to the desired wattage tap.
CAUTION: Do not set switch to 8Ωposition when speakers are wired in 70.7V / 100V Systems.
Quantity of loudspeakers per amplifier will be dictated by the amplifier’s wattage rating (at least 20% headroom should be allowed for extended range
program material) i.e. a 120-watt amplifier will power 6 loudspeakers tapped at 15-watts each.
(6 x 15 = 90 Watts + 20% (120 x 0.2) headroom (24 Watts) = 114 <120W) (See Figure 2)
Maintenance and Care
AtlasIED surface mount loudspeakers have been designed and manufactured for years of trouble-free service. Clean the SM82TEN with a dampened
soft cloth or paper towel. If the loudspeaker is mounted high on a wall or ceiling, use a broom or duster to gently brush it off. Spraying the speaker
with high-pressure water is not recommended and will void the warranty.
