USE ONLY M&S SYSTEMS BRAND CABLE as
called out in these instructions. The cable is designed
and constructed with electrical characteristics
necessary for proper audio performance.
Important:
The use of non M&S Systems brand cable will
void the product warranty! Note:
All M&S Systems
cab/e has M&S Systems and the part number printed
on it!
USE
cable for room stations, remote
controls and. volume controls.
DO
NOT EXCEED 350 FEET
of cable for any one run
or 1000 FEET for the
USE
for door stations.
RUN A SINGLE CABLE from the master unit location
to each room station or control (Home Run).
DO NOT
LOOP CABLE from one station to another. Looping
will cause electronic feedback.
DO NOT STAPLE CABLES! Staples cause shorts.
DO NOT SPLICE CABLES. Splices are unreliable
and defeat the signal isolation properties of the cable.
KEEP
MASTER,
SPEAKERS
and
VOLUME/REMOTE CONTROLS AT LEAST 18
INCHES FROM FLUORESCENT LIGHT FIXTURES,
DIMMER CONTROLS,
AND ALL OTHER WIRING.
This includes AC wiring, security cable, and other
control wires. These can cause a “hum” or “buzzing”
sound in the intercom.
Keep cables away from objects such as heating and
air conditioning ducts, metal construction plates, and
anything else with sharp edges that can damage the
cables.
Outside cable runs should be underground through
PVC conduit. This cable is not weatherproof,
therefore, it must be protected.
If extra cables are run for possible future speaker
additions, care must be taken that these cables do
not get connected to the master unit. Unterminated
cables (no station) connected to the master unit will
cause electronic feedback that will damage the
master unit.
The rough-in installation should be made during new construction prior to the application of wall covering material.
However,retrofit instructions are included where applicable.
