Page Station Expander Quick Start Guide

Installing the PS-X Page Station Expander

The Q-Sys PS-X is mounted using a new construction, UL approved, 2-gang
electrical box. The mounting procedure for an old-construction 2-gang box is
the same, however not all old-construction boxes will work with the PS-X. Be
sure you verify the fit before installing the old-construction box in the wall.

General Requirements

• The PS-X must have access to a Cat 5e connection (RJ45 Class 2) to the
associated Q-Sys Page Station.
• The PS-X must be mounted in a UL approved, 2-gang electrical box, in a
wall no less than 2.38" (60.5 mm) deep.
• The PS-X should be mounted in a location where it will not be an
obstruction to normal traffic.
• The Cat 5e cable must be less than or equal to 100 meters.

Mount the Mounting Bracket to a 2-Gang Electrical Box

The electrical box should be installed in the wall, during construction, with the
Cat 5e cable pre-wired.
Refer to Figure 1.
1. Use four Mounting Bracket Screws (3) to secure the Mounting Bracket to
the 2-gang box.
