Junction Box Installation

Each intercom station mounts inside
a standard 2-gang J-box. Mount the
J-boxes fl ush with the drywall at
locations and heights convenient
for the installation.

System Wiring

Route Cat-5 or Cat-5e cable from
each station's J-box to the structured
wiring enclosure where the hub will
be mounted. Drill through studs and
headers to accommodate cabling.
Secure the cables with zip-tie straps
(be careful not to puncture or pinch
cables with staples). Route all cables
18" away from AC wiring and
lamp dimmers. Route the cables
from the stations into the enclosure
through the wiring knockouts. Label
each cable's station location at the
enclosure end.

Station Installation

Remove the faceplate from the
station by twisting a screwdriver in
the slot under the lower left corner
of the faceplate. Use a Type 110
punch-down tool (if using an impact
tool, set the tool to "low" force!)
to connect the Cat-5 cable's eight
wires to the color coded connector
on the back of each station. After
wiring, install the station into the
J-box, secure it with the four screws,
and replace the faceplate. Note:
Alternate color station faceplates
are available (see Page 18).
