    SECTION 2 INSTALLATION NOTE: If the Universal Station is installed in an area 2.1 INTRODUCTION that exceeds these environmental conditions, the site should be equipped with air filters to remove dust and Information in this section tells how to set up the Universal Station for operation.
  • Page 22: Battery Backup

    INSTALLATION should be protected by a circuit breaker. (A separate 15A breaker is recommended for three Universal Sta- TEMP tions). An AC surge protector is recommended for all equipment. NEGATIVE BATTERY Each Universal Station requires an outlet and the TERMINAL Receiver multicouplers require one each, so for a 5- channel system, a minimum of 7 outlets is required.
