Installation Steps
1. Begin charging batteries prior to installing system
2. Determine best location for Base
• Needs electrical outlet (power adaptor has 6 foot cable)
• Maintain 3 feet clearance from large metal objects and electrical or electronic equipment
• Relative close proximity to drive thru booth(s) but avoid installing where base cannot be ser-
viced without interrupting normal business operations
• Be mindful of where conduit to speaker post terminates inside
• Programming station connects to base with 18” cable and needs to be at a height and location
that is accessible to restaurant employees
3. Install cabling from speaker post to Base location. 3 individually shielded, jacketed, twisted pairs, mini-
mum 20 gauge stranded.
4. Mount Base and connect cables (keep power cable and transformer at least 6 inches from left side of
Base)
5. Mount programming station within 18” of Base, and at an accessible height and connect cable
6. Mount vehicle detector and connect to Base, and to cable feeding to loop at speaker post
7. Install speaker and microphone in speaker post and connect cables, including connection to vehicle
detector loop. Solder all splices.
• IMPORTANT! Speaker and microphone inside of speaker post MUST be acoustically and me-
chanically isolated from each other AND the speaker post with foam rubber or an acoustic
dampening material to insure quality audio performance.
• In a typical speaker post the microphone would be mounted in the top section, closer to the
person placing the order. The speaker should be at least 2 feet away from the microphone,
typically mounted lower.
