A. Overview of Installation
Installation involves the following main steps:
1.

Design the installation.

2. Install the battery charger and begin charging the batteries.
3. Install the order point speaker and microphone assemblies.
4. Install the Basestation(s).
5. Install the vehicle detector loop(s).
6. Wire Greeter Alert trigger inputs.
7. Power up the Basestation.
8. Configure the System and Greeter.
B. Required Materials (Not Supplied)
• Standard or surface-mount conduit (metal or plastic) to enclose all system wiring.
• Assortment of sheet metal screws and wall anchors.
• Sufficient 18 to 20 AWG (1.02 to 0.81 mm diameter) shielded twisted pair audio cable to connect the speaker and microphone
assembly from the order point to the Basestation.
• Recommend basic tool kit: screw drivers, pliers, wire strippers, crimping tools, scissors, soldering iron, solder, crimp caps,
electrical tape, wire ties, etc.
• Sufficient shielded twisted pairs of audio cable to connect other components such as grill monitor speaker, vehicle detection

IMPORTANT NOTE
The twisted pair of wires for the microphone connection must be shielded for proper operation. In duplex systems, microphone and
speaker cannot be in the same jacket unless specially designed for duplex, such as 3M™ Cable part number 78-8117-4313-3.
C. Design the Installation
There are multiple ways to install the intercom system. Before you begin, you must understand how many components you will be installing
and where they must be installed. Use the installation checklist (if available) and these instructions to assist you in designing the system.
Determine the Drive-Thru Type(s)
Following is a brief description of each drive-thru type:
• A Single Drive-Thru (see Figure 1) is the most common configuration. It is comprised of one lane of traffic with one order point,
and one or two drive-thru windows for payment and pick up.
