7.1
INSTALLATION TIPS.
♦
Microphones and Speakers must be a minimum of 3 feet apart.
♦
Do not place microphones at or near devices that generate loud ambient sounds.
♦
Do not place microphones in heating ducts.
♦
Do not place microphone at or next to keypads that contain an internal piezo unless it is disabled.
♦
Always, always use shielded cable for all microphone runs.
♦
Full time call back mode is not recommended for most installations.
♦
It is recommended to use the “listen-only” mode at activation.
♦
Although the module can drive 4 speakers, the volume is low. Use a 1402 on larger installations.
♦
Use a four wire shielded wire for speaker/mic runs, it’s lower cost than 2 separate wires.
♦
Use a minimum of one speaker and mic per floor on residential installations.
♦
Basements don’t usually need a mic or a speaker unless the customer request’s it.
♦
Dirty power supplies (and grounds) will cause interference on Two Way.
♦
Always, always Earth ground a Two Way module. It eliminates interference!
♦
Avoid programming restorals into the control panel.
♦
Program a “call waiting defeat” command into the control panel (*70 or 1170)
7.2 NOTES.
♦
The operation of the system will be greatly enhanced if amplified phone is used at the Central Station.
♦
When using multiple microphones at the subscriber end, be aware that loud background noise picked up by one
microphone will "drown out" the other microphone(s).
♦
It is unwise to switch to the high gain "Listen only" mode in the presence of loud background noise as that will only
make it worse.
♦
It is recommended that shielded wire be used for microphones located farther than 6 inches from the circuit board.
♦
As with all electronic devices, electrostatic discharges can damage the components. Handle the circuit
board with care!
