The SM7000 is a speaker/microphone combination (Fig.1).
It is designed for use in Quick Service Restaurant (QSR)
menu boards, speaker posts, and enclosures. Also see the
NEXEO | HDX Installation Guide for more details.
Tools/Equipment Required
• General hand tools: screwdrivers, cutters, pliers, wire
strippers, etc.
• Serrated knife
• Audio Cable (not included)
• Acoustic Foam (not included)
These instructions are for a typical installation.
1. Strip approximately 1 inch (25.4 mm) of insulation from
the end of the audio cable and ¼ inch (6.35 mm) of in-
sulation from each of the cable wires, but do not tin the
wires. Connect the audio cable wires to the connector
plug. Note: The Shield must also be terminated.
2. Insert the connector plug into the three-pin PLC/BASE
speaker connector (see Fig. 2).
3. In like manner, terminate the ground loop wires to the
two-pin Loop connector.
4. Position the speaker inside the speaker post or menu
board, with the gasket centered against the inside of the
speaker grill; see Fig. 3. Align the opening in the gasket
with the grill opening. Notes: If more than one location
is available, choose the one closest to the driver's
window level. The SM7000 should be pushed
flush against the post to prevent audio issues. If
the speaker post opening is small, position the
speaker (lower section of the SM7000) closest to it.
5. Remove both inserts from the molded foam en-
closure and place the foam enclosure around the
speaker. Trim foam with a serrated knife if neces-
sary. Place removed foam inserts behind speaker
to provide pressure to speaker, to ensure a good
gasket seal against the speaker grill opening.
6. Connect the other end of the audio cable to the
J4500 on the base station. See Fig. 4 and Table 1.
Note: The five-pin RELAY | BCKP SPKR connector is
optional and is used to connect to an intercom system
like the IC300 if a backup is needed.
