3-REMICA Remote Paging
Microphone Installation Sheet
Description
The 3-REMICA provides remote paging capability throughout a
building or campus. Each 3-REMICA has two inputs for connecting
other remote microphone units. Cascading remote microphones in this
manner provides up to 63 stations on the paging circuit.
Note:
Remote microphone units may not be cascaded more than six
deep (more than six units in a single circuit path).
The 3-REMICA occupies two slot positions in a remote annunciator
cabinet. When installed in a cabinet with an annunciator controller, the
3-REMICA must occupy the slot positions next to the controller.
The 3-REMICA housing assembly provides standoffs for mounting a
Signature single input module when the system application requires
electrical supervision. The 3-REMICA trouble relay contacts change
state when an electrical short or open is detected on either the
microphone audio or key inputs, or when power to the unit is
interrupted.
Configuration
Set the jumpers as shown in the table below. Refer to Figure 1.
When AUDIO_OUT is connected to a:
3-ASU Rev 11 or earlier [1]
3-ASU Rev 12 or later [1]
3-REMIC series remote paging microphone

Installation
Install and wire this module in accordance with applicable national and
local codes, ordinances, and regulations. Refer to Figure 1.
Caution:
connections.
Note:
shipped with 1.8 kΩ terminating resistors installed in the remote
microphone key inputs. Remove these resistors when connecting
upstream 3-REMIC series remote paging microphones.
To install the 3-REMICA:
1. Remove the top module retainer bracket on the inner door of the
remote annunciator.
2. Loosen the bottom module retainer bracket.
3. Insert the 3-REMICA into the bottom module retainer bracket next
to the annunciator panel controller.
4. Tilt the 3-REMICA forward until the top touches the inner door.
5. Tighten the bottom module retainer bracket.
6. Secure the top module retainer bracket to the inner door.
7. If installed next to an annunciator panel controller, connect the
cable assembly from P3 on the annunciator panel controller to P4
on the 3-REMICA.
8. Attach the rubber stoppers provided, to the backbox studs located
directly behind the 3-REMICA assembly, to avoid shorting
components on the electronics board.

•
All wiring is supervised and power-limited.
•
Remove the 1.8 kΩ terminating resistors across terminals TB1-12
and TB1-13, and TB1-16 and TB1-17 if connected to an upstream
3-REMIC series remote paging microphone.
•
AUDIO_OUT and KEY_OUT wires must be enclosed in conduit.
