Introduction The 3M™ Audio Greeter, Model A300, is designed for use with intercom systems. A typical application is use in a quick service drive-thru restaurant to play digitally stored messages through a menu speaker.

Mounting the A300 Audio Greeter Before mounting the A300 to the wall, we recommend that you attach all the cables to the A300 while it rests on a countertop or a chair near its mounting surface. This allows easy access to all jumpers and controls with the cover open.

Position A - Position A is the default selection for most 3M Intercom installations. Position B - Position B is used when an optional relay must be added to trigger the A300. An optional relay may be required in cases where the HME or Panasonic intercom triggers an external service timer. (See Figure 8) Note: When JMP1 is in position B, a +5Volt pull-up voltage is applied to VEH DET + (J9 terminal 8).

AUDIO_OUT – This terminal is used in conjunction with the microphone mute feature, SW2 number 8. The AUDIO_OUT terminal on the A300 sends the currently playing audio message to the AUDIO_IN terminal of the intercom so that the message from the A300 is heard in the headset or intercom if the microphone mute feature is ON.
